these boots were made for walking

[oiran]

So I just bought shoes online. They only have my size, and thus they're only $49. And I'm already pretty sure they'll be too big and have to go back...but maybe not! And if not, then I've got replacements for my long-lost, well-beloved Fluevog cowboy boots, except red (which looks like dried blood to me) instead of black. Thing is, I wear a women's size 10, and even when I was significantly heavier, that does not mean I have big calves, though that seems to be what shoe manufacturers default to: long feet=thick legs. It's not true. I started wearing adult-size shoes while I was still in grade school. I was 5'2" in third grade. I had so many insecurities and weirdnesses, but I was convinced that large feet were the Sexay because I was really into Egyptian stuff, and the stylized perspective in Egyptian art...and just look at all the big-ass feet in Egyptian art. I still maintain that big feet are the most elegant feet possible.

Yeah. So. Anyway. Giddy red-cowboy-boot spam-o-rama.

And rhiannonhero is coming to visit for the weekend, and we're going to...scheme.

Ha! I have bigger feet than you! For once, the big-feet girls get the cool shit! Whooo!!!! Doing the stompy dance of big-footed glee!!!!

Provided, of course, that they don't rattle around my calves like buckets

Fluevogs = Love! I took pictures of my Fluevog-clad feet all over London on my last vacation. (I do realize I need therapy). Enjoy your boots!!

(I saw your post go by on christinefic's friends page and had to chime in for the 'vogs!) :)

I had basically these same boots from Fluevog, but a roommate "borrowed" them permanently...back in 1987. I'm very excited to be able to replace them, and for so cheap!

Taking pictures of one's feet on vacation makes sense to me ;)

Yay! Will you be hungry? Because we have some options...

And we don't have to talk about who Chloe is or is not ;)

I'm sure I'll be hungry, sure.

Perhaps you could affect padded calves, like the breech-wearing fops of yore?

I have long, narrow feet. This makes shoe shopping frustrating. I cannot fit Doc Martins, and it was very sad as a teenager. My dress shoe size is 9.5, but my sneaker size is a 10. *g* Nikes and Diesel shoes fit rather well however. I've got two pairs of Diesel sneakers, blue suede and black leather.

Your boots are lucious, and I am jealous. ;)

Have fun with Rhi, and discuss some naughty things for me :P
