it's a small community. Maybe he knew the guy. Maybe he had the time and money. Not at all out of the question.

I would note that Google finds at least 3 shoe stores on Church Street in Burlington, more if you count places that sell shoes/boots in a mall that seems to face onto Church Street. So either his buddy was straight up at least that far, or, if it is a fake, the guy did at least know where to find boots in Burlington.

Whether or not Sanders bought the guy shoes, what I know for a fact is Sanders wants to see the guy have access to healthcare as a right, to tuition free college to gain some skills, and in one of the millions of jobs that have left this country or been lost for whatever reason.
