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.

What does it say about my fashion sense that I consider the non-hideous boots far more hideous than the hideous boots?

[littlered2.livejournal.com]

I feel the same.

[mrsalemp.livejournal.com]

Same here, but I accepted long ago that I have no fashion sense :D

[petranef.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too.

I completely agree!

The "hildeous" pair actually sort of sexy (I think) while the "non-hideous" pair just looks nerdy. Joins you in having apparently no fashion sense.

I second this whole comment (especially the looking like Crocs with a boot top bit :-) but I would still vote for the ones that promise to be warmer!

Apparently it says that you are in good company. Same here!

And the sketchers ones have that stupid fake fur/fleece/animal hide sticking out of the top. Are you pulling your pants down around them? Because that tends to hike them up and let snow in around you're ankles.

Fortunately the fleece folds up -- it's pretty snug around my calf if knotted properly :)

Ditto that. Neither is wonderful, but winter boots don't have to be cute, just FUNCTIONAL. Really damn functional. The "non-hideous" boots still kind of are, though.

Same! *hides*

I agree. I liked the "ugly" ones better. :0)
