So remember when the shoe repair place killed my boots?

I went boot shopping and found two pairs of boots I did not hate. I bought them in different sizes, because sizes vary between brands and I'm never quite sure what size I am. Anyway, I thought I'd try them on and keep whatever pair fit.

TURNS OUT THEY BOTH FIT.

But BossBoss, most of the admins, and one delivery guy who came in while I was trying them on all said go for the pair that didn't look hideous, despite them being slightly less warm than the hideous boots (the photo really doesn't do their ugliness justice, these are some ugly shoes).

That's what my knitted silk socks are for, after all, though they don't need to know that.

Thank you for reminding me that I need to buy boots like that. I have a pair of Ecco boots, that are warm and strong waterproof, and have awesome traction, but the are *twenty years old* -- you heard me; twenty years of Chicago winters in those puppies. At this point, I think they deserve to be retired with honors, though I will keep them after buying a new pair just in case the young'uns can't measure up to my Boots Emeritus.

DAMN! I know Ecco are good, but I didn't know they were THAT good!

Actually, my husband's had a couple of pairs that wore out in 2-3 years...

Probably didn't buy the right pairs. :D
