[Nazē.]

Exactly. And as I said before, a shoe is a shoe, and a boot is a kind of shoe. Therefore, if SeeD is a boot, SeeD is a kind of shoe.

[Yevgeny Borisovitch Volgin]

True, if a boot is a shoe, then SeeD is a shoe... but, why not be more precise and call it a boot?

[Aaron]

SeeDy shoe...

[Cspace]

SeeD is a boot! Not some mere shoe...

[Nazē.]

It is a shoe and a boot!

[Cspace]

It is a boot and only a boot!

[Nazē.]

AND A SHOE. *Holds boot threateningly over your head* D<

[Star Jedi]

SeeD is a boot..shoes are not worthy to have gum stuck on the bottom of them..

"1. a covering of leather, rubber, or the like, for the foot and all or part of the leg." (Boot)

"1. an external covering for the human foot, usually of leather and consisting of a more or less stiff or heavy sole and a lighter upper part ending a short distance above, at, or below the ankle." (Shoe)

A boot is tough. A boot is rugged and resilient.
A shoe? Pfft. If we were a shoe, this forum wouldn't have lasted six years.

Boot.
