Another arrow in my quiver of footwear?

When you get into the outdoor activities, you somehow end up with a lot of outdoor gear. For example I have several pairs of boots. These are lightweight day hiker Nikes. They weigh 1 lb each. I paid about 100 bucks for them in Oregon.

These are my standard hiking boots, now. They are Asolos, I paid about 179 for them, at Mountain Gear in Spookaoo, they weigh 1 lb, 14 ozs. They are the MOST comfortable boot I own.These are my winter boots. They are a mixed climbing boot, the Kayland Super Ice's. They were on sale @ Feathered Friends, for 299. They weigh 2 lbs 11 oz each. Full shank, waterproof with Thinsulate lining. I think they are a perfect Cascade range boot. These are my newest boot, the Vasque 9000's. They are warm and light. All you want in a double boot. They weight a little less than 4 lbs each.

I consder myself a pretty good gear head. I try to be in the know of everything that is out there for Bikes, Mountain Bikes, Climbing, Hiking and sometimes Kayaking. However, clearly as I grow older, I am unable to keep up with the most current trends, and this is most evident with footwear. Mother Mary Jesus H Christ, How in the hell did I miss out on these?

Good God, do the come in pink?
