Caption Contest: 'Put Yourself in his Boots'

“Okay, one more time: Why is Iceland green and Greenland ice?”

As I sit here and ponder the meaning of life, then realize, I am life, and I live it FULLY.

To get an eagle eye’s view, I don’t have to have wings…I just need a pair of Ecco boots.

“I knew I should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque”

And why can’t we just work from out here ?

Oh s@&t – theres my truck, did I leave the headlights on?

I need to take a dump.

“Goat Poise”

“Man its beautiful out here but all I can think about is that stupid Call Me Maybe song”

I finally got away from all the election commercials!!

“I can always rely on my Ecco’s, same can’t be said about my thermal underwear”

Alright, that’s it! Why does this always happen? We forget the toilet paper again, some guy’s after my girl now, & there’s no bathroom nearby, what the heck am I gonna’ do?! Ah ha!! I’ll go down to the stream, keep care of my business, make a couple poop grenades with those dirty socks in my pack, then clean up, & just wait for that sucker, YES!!

Alright made it to the top man am I tired. Now where is the Helicopter to take me down..

“Nothing”. Just living the moment!

This magnificent land may appear rugged and unforgiving but my Ecco’s have granted me comfort and amnesty to reveal heaven on earth

Man, I’m really alive today!

WOW!

“ I wonder when she’ll stop rolling ?”

Talk about an office with a view.

Now, look cool for a moment, stare into the distance as if you’re trying to solve the riddle of the universe. Okay, that’s enough. I’m just a poorly paid model. Time to get warm.

It’s not even that cold out today, I’m sweating from all that jumping, and I’m a nudist at heart…I think only the Ecco shoes are required for the rest of the hike!

Starbucks. Dead ahead.

It amazes me that some people can’t get off the couch to have an experience rather they sit inside and watch “Reality” unfold before them. How unfortunate that they have to see what they are shown instead of seeing for themselves.

The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the earth – Chinese Proverb

I can totally jump and make the river from her, you don’t so, watch this. Squirrel suit away!!!

“If that fat, hairy, naked man up there in those ECCO BIOM boots isn’t your uncle I think we’re going to have to stop looking…”

There is no better place on Earth to enjoy my BIOMinality.

Where’s a Sherpa when you need him?

It doesn’t get any better than this!

I’m glad I’m not slipping like I did 10 seconds earlier!

Takk.

“And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.”

Further is no longer forever.

That’s where I’m going next

Wow. Iceland…what more can I say…

“Oh cool I can see my house from here.”

It’s all worth it in the end!

Why is my girlfriend at the bottom of the hill teaching the locals how to do the Gangnam Style horse dance? Wow, just how long have I been squatting here enjoying these ECCO BIOMs?

The place where you lose the trail is not necessarily the place where it ends.

“Okay, got to remember directions to how I got here, first star to the right and straight on till morning, Right!”

No matter how far I go I never seem to reach the end.

Glad I didn’t stop and ask for directions!

Honey, I don’t think we are in Kansas anymore!

Nice there is a pub down there so I can kick back now

Let’s take this adventure to the max and have a little fun, after all we are dressed for it.

Did you say you want me to roll all the way down for this video?

What a fantastic life!

I love this mountain goat feature. Perching is my favorite.

Every step is a chance to take the path less traveled

It’s a lot easier in the woods when all I have to do is dig a hole…

I wonder where that girl went?

Are my car lights on?

I wish we had taken the long way…

Take only pictures, leave only Eccoprints

Some may call me an adrenalin junkie, but with the right gear, I can reach new heights.

It’s too Friggan Bifrosty to sit on this Ragnarok. Wish I’d brought my Asgard.

Yes, Mother Nature, I’ll respect you in the morning.

Wonder is she’d still date me if she knew I was just scouting the geology for a new open pit coal mine.

Me, myself and I…

I don’t always hike in Iceland, but when I do – I like to crouch like a rabid lemur whenever I take a break.

Which came first this video or the contest where i won this trip and ecco boots?

Who needs a guide when you can just roam free.

It’s a great day to be ALIVE

“I can has Ecco Biom Boot”

“Now, how do I get down?”

Awesome boots -these really rock my world.

“Man I love these new ECCO BIOM hiking boots, my feet feel great, oh what’s that honey? No we aren’t lost I was able to pay attention to the route we took because I wasn’t so worried about my feet hurting. Lets do some more hiking before heading back.”

Getting in tune with nature wearing the boot designed for my body, and getting me here. ECCO BIOM.

Above fire and ice
I have tranquility, yet,
Adventure awaits

I don’t always hike in Iceland, but when I do, I wear ECCO.

A long way up, now to take the short way down.

Not all who wander are lost, especially when they wear ECCO

Wonders of this adventuresome land never cease to amaze me!! Thank goodness I have these new ECCO BIOM boots!

looking back will only push you further forward

Nice booty —- I mean boots!

Hmmm,I don’t know what to do up here now that the whole Tebowing thing is over.

F*CK Yeah!

I knew I should have made a left turn at Albuquerque!

With my ECCO BIOM Boots…today this mountain, tomorrow…anywhere I want to go.

“I’m on the top of the world, looking down on the throws of creation”

What do you mean it is just over the next hill! That’s all there are, hills!!

“I don’t know about this whole ‘ice’ land moniker, but it sure is beautiful.”

“The natural. The way. The one.” -boots by Ecco

I feel so small compared to the vastness and beauty of the world. I would’ve never been able to experience this without my Ecco Biom boots! (and my feel still feel great!)

“My god, she’s really galloping “gangnam style” across the tundra in a bikini and her ECCO boots right now. I am so in love!”

“A nice view… but the most beautiful thing here is on my feet.”

Epic Boots. Epic Pursuits

I can’t believe it’s midnight!

With Biom Boots you do what you want and like

“There is no Place Like Here”

wonderful shoes i want to win this pair of ECCO BIOM boots……

These boots were made for walking…and so much more.

Anywhere. Everywhere. Anytime with Ecco.

Live Life. Love Life. only in Ecco.

The ECCO life—powered by you. Get out and live it!

Walk, Run, Live—It gets only better with a pair of ECCOs.

Living Life? Live it to the fullest in a pair of ECCOs.

ECCO Biom – makes life happen.

So this is what perfection feels like.

“What do you mean you left the phone down there? How am I going to update my Facebook status?”

“Why was i carelessly rolling down the hill through fragile vegetation when I should have been treading lightly by using the sticky soles of my new boots to walk on rocks to minimize my impact on this beautiful landscape?”

“The further you look, the bigger the world becomes.”

“Life has just started for me!”

I breath, and am one with earth and sky

“Wherever the journey takes me, I trust my ECCO BIOM boots to get me there.”

Until the end must see Iceland, and don`t forget your Ecco`s.

Civilization is overrated.

And I say to myself What A Wonderful World…

“aaaaaannnnnnnnnd cramp”

thank you god for the wonderful gifts you have bestoed upon us and my good health to enjoy them.

We’re gonna need a bigger mountain

Success is a journey, not a destination.

“Finally the world’s “owling” champ, Feliz had to wonder just where he should go from here?”

I hope nobody noticed me slipping about 10 seconds ago…

“is that a bear?!?! Baby, lets go!!!

Breath deeply. Experience more. Go farther.

If I jump from here, will I be able to avoid those large jagged rocks and still get my shute open in time?

This is what life is all about

Bear who?

Damn I left my truck running and my tent is unlocked….well at least my feet are warm!

Stability; only with extraordinary gear and thrill driven mindset.

“I did promise her a spa trip after this.”

If i would have listened and believed all the naysayers and doubted myself i could never had made it here

This isn’t high enough.

[ADVENTURE SHAMING]
I actually stole my brothers new ECCO shoes and climbed a mountain before he could use them (P.S. I’m not wearing socks).

“This has been the best date ever. I just wish I could remember her name.”

Yesterday I was sitting at my desk dreaming of this moment. Today I am here. All it took was the first step…

I’m Batman

“Hmmm, did I close the garage door this morning? Ah, who cares!”

“These are my BOOTS. There are many like them, but these ones are mine.

My boots are my best friend. They are my life. I must master them as I must master my life. My boots, without me, are useless. Without my boots, I am useless. I must tie my boots tight. I must walk straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must conquer him before he conquers me. I will… My boots and myself know that what counts in this war is not the fires we start, the noise of our burst, or the smoke we make. We know that it is the memories that count. We will remember… My boots are human, even as I, because they are my life. Thus, I will learn them as a brother. I will learn their weaknesses, their strengths, their parts, their accessories, their laces and their sole. I will keep my boots clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will… Before God, I swear this creed. My boots and myself are the defenders of nature. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is man-kind’s and there is no enemy, but peace!”

#*%#@! Apple maps!

allow mt express his thoughts in an Haiku

ahem

“Far up and alone;
I marvel at the beauty;
the world is perfect.”

thank you

“I wish she could see this”

“I’m gonna explore like today never happened before!”

“BIOM must be the key to adapt to every biome!”

Biege,….I think I will paint the bedroom, beige.

Hurry up and take the photo, I’m scared of heights.

“I am glad I have ECCO hiking shoes on. One needs quality shoes for hiking – a bit of a special soul also helps.

Balancing between work and play is such a tough job, but someone has to do it!

One heart, one mind, one shoe…

wow.

Things to do, and places to go. I’ll strap on my boots, and away I go.

Comfort. From my soles to my soul.

Im on the top of the world, this is such a majestic place

Well isn’t that neat!

“Nothing is impossible!”

And to think, all I needed was a pair of boots to get here!

Best first date ever!

This is a trip of a lifetime and I have only just begun. To all the Ups and Downs along the way My Eccos are here to stay.

Funny thing about reaching your destination…it makes so many more destinations seem possible.

Where will my boots take me next?

There are so many mysteries in life and yet as I crouch here contemplating the wonders of nature I can’t help wondering what exactly gangnam style is and why it’s so darn catchy. Hmmmm….catchy.

Did I leave the stove on?

Oh great! I make this incredible jump over here for this awesome picture… Now where’d that bear come from!?

There is no way I could have made it this far without my comfortable Ecco boots, and I know they will take me where ever else I wan’t to go!

“Only the unimaginative can fail to feel the enchantment of these mountains.” — John Muir

Nature, be it.

Where the hell am i supposed to go to the bathroom here

“I wonder if I get to keep these amazing Biom boots after the video shoot?”

‘These boots were made for walkin’ and that’s just what I’ll do….these boots were……’

how did i get here? i got here walking free

Heaven is real. This is where God lives :)

There can only be fun… ICELANDER.

Is this here for me, or am I here for this?

reboot your soul

Dang. Did I bring TP with me?

Nothing should be written. The writting is good as it is. Leave it simple.

Wow, I got here easier than I expected.

Rock and river resist change… I welcome the gift of change with each step I take.

“Isn’t this wonderful; I am in a blissful state of tranquility, one with nature… and my feet feel great!”

told bear to buy the same boots , now i got to wait till he gets here for the loo roll !

Location, location, location! How true it is!

Just about… halfway there.

it doesn’t get much better than this

so dizzy…shouldn’t have rolled down that hill in the previous shot, should have done that before balancing on this wet rock…

perched on top of the world with a view that is worthy of the NORSE GODS with the woman i love it was well worth the trip thanks ECCO BIOM boots !!!

Being up here, with her…This…this is all I’ll ever need.
[hums]
“…If everything could ever feel this real forever…If anything could ever be this good again…”

Been there. Done that. Already conquered that. I think I am out of challenges.

If I ask her, will she say “yes”?

“I’m off to see the wizard the wonderful wizard of… Wait where the heck am I?”

One day, this damp and mossy land will be mine—all mine!!

Happiness.

The mountain goats make this look so easy…

“I don’t believe that beauty is in the eye, but it is in the land around us, and I’m finally up high enough to see it”

what came 1st, chicken or the egg ?

“Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time.”

Much better than the view from my cubicle

If i i crouch down and stay very still hopefully this weirdo stalking me with camera will go away….

Am I ever high up on this mountain….how did I explore so much terrain? It must be these amazing Boots I’m wearing. I love this place and my amazing Boots.

Sweet ! Now we have to go back, I forgot my camera.

Oh, I see down there is where all the other racers are. So you were right that we had to stay low at that last junction!!

I think this is far enough. I don’t think she’ll find me up here.

Oh dang. Her first base jump and I think I may have given her the wrong pack.

Mom would love this.

“Dream it. Plan it. Did it!”

See that over there? That’s the exact spot I stopped caring about the office cause I’m in FREAKING Iceland! Now which peak is next?

“It was then when Sven realized that he should of pulled down his pants, before answering that call of nature….still he felt lucky he was wearing brown pants…still a good day”

“FREEDOM!!!”

Brief Garland pose…Hold, 2, 3 – And gotta go!

Glad these boots have traction, otherwise I’d still be down there, or worse yet, I’d be falling down there.

“I had run for 3 years, 2 months, 14 days, and 16 hours… I’m pretty tired, I think I’ll go home.” – Forrest Gump

Hmmm, did I lock the front door?

ECCO boots – a couple hundred bucks. Nice wool cap – about 50 bucks. Toilet paper 50 miles from anywhere – priceless.

It’s ironic that it takes such vastness and solitude for me to feel the most connected and alive.

I don’t ever want this day to end

“That does seem so far after all.”

Don’t try to conquer the vast expanses of our world, become one with them!

Sometimes you have to be your own hero

Doing what you like is freedom, liking what you do is happiness.

Ecco boots help you to feel the “green” in Iceland. ICELAND GO GREEN!!!

Did you remember to turn off the stove?

“If we don’t find a bathroom soon, Iceland will be famous for its yellow snow!”
