Wrong Choice

Why the wrong choice?
I went a long walk this morning and decided to walk over the field instead of pavement pounding all walk. That was the wrong choice the path across the field was so muddy in parts that the mud slurped and my foot nearly came out! I managed to keep upright and didn't slip. It was a nice walk and came home via the shop.
I have cleaned my lovely boots, they are my new ones and they do look ok.
