Hi, all!  Well, guess who packed in such a hurry that he forgot his hiking boots?  Was it my fault I thought the flight back to Switzerland was Friday?  ....and it was actually the previous day, Thursday?? ....with only three hours to pack, get to the airport, check-in, and get the heart rate back to normal before taking off???  This was my senior moment of the year....so far!  Looking for advice and/or actually a decent pair of hiking boots that are waterproof.  I wear at least a mens 46 euro size, or 12 U.S. to sometimes a 13 U.S. or 47 euro size.  I shopped around Lausanne yesterday, and as we all know, they are expensive here, and I don't want to break the bank.  I am working in Lausanne for three weeks, then over to Germany, Austria, and finally France, and I am hoping someone here knows of a place to buy decent shoes at a decent price.  I am totally opened to finding a pair that are second-hand, as I don't really need to invest in yet another pair of hiking/walking waterproof boots with four pair at home already.  Any advice is greatly appreciated.   Signed, barefoot bigfoot
