Life continues…
Been looking for a new pair of leather boots, the kind that will not only last through the winters but the kind of classic style and quality that will last a couple decades like my last ones did. I had to give them up because my calves became too large to fit them any more. Not surprising, this has always been a problem even in my smallest days of size 6. As a sprinter and hurdler, skiier and dancer, my calves have always been “developed.” I found a few short pairs that I liked a lot, two with cuban heels but they were $155 and I just couldn’t justify it. Not only was that way over my budget but they were online and I couldn’t try them on first and they would have been a total pain to deal with if they didn’t work. I could buy some of the biker boots, my last pair were harley’s with the harness, but they’ve become so fashionable, so trendy, that I really didn’t want to go there at all.
There are two really styling women at my noon meeting. Both boots and jeans women. I asked one where she shopped and she seemed mortified that I would ask. The other happily told me all about the boot lady from the local farmers market. And that she’d opened a new shop right up the street, which it turns out I had driven past the week before and wondered.
