These boots are the best aaaaand did you know they have a warranty? I was able to get a new replacement pair for free after i wore my boots out from 5 years of use. Makes the price point way more worth it!
New boots that i quickly broke in with a 2 week trip in Northern Europe. Slush= amazing for breaking boots in 🥲

I know they’re painfully millennial but they’re good, reliable boots. I have had mine for 6 years and can probably get another year out of them. They’re comfortable, nonslip enough for most work, and you can get CSA ones if you need as well. Unfortunately they cannot be resoled but I have generally found them to be very durable.

I generally don’t spend a lot of money on shoes. I wear checkered vans like 90% because they are easy to throw on. I generally wear them until they are falling apart. But the winters can get cold and snowy so I needed a beefy shoe that would last me for a while. This winter I finally purchased some heavy duty blundstone boots and they are so worth it.
I am going to wear them to the ground and I love that it will be years before I have to retire them

obviously a classic - and i obviously think "WOW! no wonder this is a classic" every time i read a classic HOWEVER... truly so incredible in its themes and imagery - betrayal, revenge, nature, god, no god, death, love, passion! i reread it for the first time since i was a teenager and i just cannot believe how powerful and disturbing this book is, i can't even imagine how scandalous it would have been.
one thing i love most about wuthering heights is how married human life is with nature and the environment. animals, plants and the moor landscape are intertwined with the two houses and the families. i loved the constant mention of dogs and birds throughout. so incredible and so wild. can't believe she wrote this and died.

the in our time podcast discusses heaps of classics with a panel of experts, great way to hear what academics have been thinking about texts and the key themes they draw out. it's really chaotic because they have to get through a lot in a short time and the host (melvyn bragg) is always pressing them to give a straight answer.
the secret life of books podcast is also really good, they discuss the backstory and context of classics and how they contribute the books overall identity, but also its legacy.
i'm sure there's heaps more out there but these two are quite in depth when it comes to easily available literary analysis !
