<p>I am a he. My screen name is not very masculine I have to admit. I don’t think I know Devin Camp…What class is he? Anyways, yeah, I forgot about PC gear. Basically shorts and a t-shirt, and a running suit as well. I’m wearing it right now. 
As for showering in the boots, that might be OK with regular purely leather boots, but the boots they will recommend to you (and you should get!) are a mixture of leather, Cordura, and Gore-Tex. Taking a shower in them REALLY wouldn’t be good. Tecnically they aren’t even supposed to be polished. But you will anyways. Just worry about breaking in the old fashioned way-walking. You could run in them a couple of times too, I did that. That helps more with you getting used to the weight of them. </p>
<p>It’s a trade off…warm, dry, breathable, ankle supporting boots, that weight 8 pounds apiece. :)</p>
