My Brand New Boots from TorridI am a boot woman. I have worn them since chidhood and was given my first pair of red cowboy boots. Gumboots and Wellys were worn even when it didn't rain. White Go-Go boots were a present for my 14th birthday. I bought two pairs of boots when I got my first serious paycheck after graduating from my Rehabilitation Councelling courses with the University of Calgary/ Vocational Rehabilitation and Research Institute. One pair was a lace up granny boot from Spain made from the softest turquoise-teal suede. They laced up to my thighs and took about an hour to get on. The second pair was a stompin' knee high army boot made from buttery goat skin from Morocco. They were black, substantial and lasted about 15 years with serious use until Doc Marten's came along.
I have had red , white, blue , brown, lizard, platform, stiletto, cocktail, and very high top red sneakers.
Today I got new boots from California. They are tall, black and either riding boots or pirate boots depending on the angle. The only sensible thing about them is the 1 inch heel. They take one minute to put on and come off, without help, in another minute! But they aren't coming off today...

GAWD those are BOOTS :} I worked in a shoe store in my 20's and had TONS of boots and smaller tons of shoes. Mow i live in runners, but the boots come out when i pretend i'm an adult and get dressed up :}
Total envy!
In my next life I will work in a shoe store...
Shameful confession... I spend most of my time in silly red garden clogs. They are plastic and I can splash fibre mess all over them.
