Timberland

It doesn't often get cold and icky enough for the Recessionista to break out the all-weather boots, but every now and then the North Texas weathergods unleash a torrent of ice and sorta-snow. On one such day, Recessionista pulled her ages-old Timberlands out of retirement...and was horrified to watch the soles disintegrate before her very eyes.

So Recessionista tested the company's 'lifetime guarantee' and was delighted with the results! Timberland customer service did not mock Recessionista for inquiring about boots old enough to be Recessionista's elementary-school children, and provided her with a choice of new and fabulous replacement pairs! (Recessionista chose a pair of red silk-lined footwear with a foldover top to show off said red silk on less-icky/more-stylish winter days.)

RECESSIONISTA LESSON: don't be shy about asking for recompense! They can't say 'yes' unless you ask the question.
