EDWARD GREEN: Galway Boot Review | Kirby Allison 

I think this boot is definitely intended for townies popping up to the country for the weekend. Not a bad thing, in my opinion, as a townie who loves the countryside LOL.

the Galway was made for english officers in the 20s and 30s

the Galway cordovan can be made in 202 or 64 too. That's what I would do.

nodieusa I know the CS you are talking about, they’re great boots definitely worth the price 👍

not these, but i really do a lot with my galway Utah. those things are indestructible. that being said, my hiking is just walking on mountain's. so no hardcore in mud etc.

@@iaido01 do you feel secure hiking on dainites? I feel insecure on them during winter but slightly different story

@@ahpadt wel i would reccomend commando soles, but dainite would be okay. i wear it in snow and never had a real problem. ik give dainite a 9.5/10 for every condition you can be

AE's 360 degree welting is a Goodyear welt that continues all the way around the sole, even the heel. They are not alone in doing this, but it is also common, perhaps more common, to only do 3/4 Goodyear welting, which would not go around the heel.

Interesting. Can you tell me why a football match between rival cities is also called a derby if Derby is a city?

@@monkeypawism It is widely reported that the phrase originates from the town of Ashbourne, Derbyshire, England. There, since as early as the 12th century, two teams from opposite ends of the town play a rough and tumble football/rugby type of game called the Royal Shrovetide Football Match. The match is between the 'uppers' and the 'downers' - townspeople from opposite sides of the river that runs through the town. The object of the game is to get a painted leather ball into the opposition's goal by fair means or foul. You might get a flavour of the scene from the fact that the goals are three miles apart and that one of the (few) rules is that 'unnecessary' violence is frowned upon. This type of game used to be common on feast days throughout England, and this example is still played out annually at Ashbourne. In normal circumstances evidence linking an event with a phrase having a 900 hundred-year pedigree would be persuasive. Unfortunately, there's nothing apart from local folklore, which is always present when locals lay claim to a phrase, to link the phrase to the town or to the Shrovetide match. After all, the phrase isn't 'a local Ashbourne'. The actual source is more prosaic. The Derby is the name of the premier horse race in England and the contest was founded by the twelfth Earl of Derby in 1780. Since at least as early as 1840 'derby' has been used as a noun in English to denote any kind of sporting contest. A local derby is just a sporting contest between local rivals. Early uses of the phrase referred to football (soccer) matches and the first printed citation appears to be the Daily Express, October 1914: "A local Derby between Liverpool and Everton".
