Seems like she’s asking if he’d like the boots to be treated with (or soaked in) oils. To preserve them, possibly make them water-tight

Everybody I know always has, but it still rhymes with ‘own’

Standing still in place for a few hours is waaay more uncomfortable than pacing and walking around. Shifting the weight on our feet really helps

I can’t imagine how awful these would be, especially with how cramped they’d be packed in (otherwise they’re no smaller than chairs). God, you couldn’t even bend down to scratch your knee.

I remember seeing pictures like this a looking time ago so I’m pretty sure they’re fake bait. At best it’s an idea somebody prototyped but won’t use.
