I forgot what I paid for them, but it was too much for too little. They are marketed to the yuppie crowd and what you are buying is the apple picking image on the TV commercial. Don't do it if you are a serious outdoors person.

Well, that does it- no Beans for me. I'm about as far from that apple picking yuppie you can get. I don't even want to be looked at that way. Also, seems like everyone says they are slippery. That just ain't gonna cut it at my age.
