The same boots, 2 Goodwills, 10 years apart

It's no secret that I love Goodwill. Most of my favorite clothes I've found there. Most of my boots are from there. I'm always looking for good boots there as I tend to wear mine out and they are the best attire for winter.

Just recently I bought the brown pair in the picture on the left. I think I paid $7 or $8.

I was looking at them the other day, and realized they looked similar to my black ones. I put them side by side and realized they are the exact same pair of boots.

I found the black ones 10 years ago in a South Carolina Goodwill for $5. And found these ones just a few months ago in Kansas. I guess my taste hasn't changed much!

Now I have a brown pair and a black pair, one a size 8.5, the other a size 9.5 (how can that be? I'm still confused that they both fit). But it's more proof to me that you can find really good, useful things at Goodwill for a fraction of the price you could brand-new somewhere.
