What is Coon Boots?
1.
Coon boots are the formation of hard callouses on the soles of human feet to ensure rugged off road performance and increased ability to navigate rough terrain (often at pace).
Derived from common slang (coon), the indigenous australian (aboriginal) population survived thousands of years without the need for enclosed footwear, using there 'boots' to tough the harshest surfaces.
The process in which to sculpt a demon pair of coon boots is a long and arduous journey which requires months (if not years) of exposing the soles of the foot to numerous surfaces; jagged rocks, dirt, gravel, barnacles, ice, hot coals and variations between these (i.e. ice cold jagged rocks), just to name a few. Once walking on a surface has been mastered, to truly have coon boots one must progress to running, carrying heavy loads and finally running whilst carrying heavy loads.
Ellaborations on the word include: coonies, coondoggers, coontizzles, teh coonz0rs and abo nikes.
