These boots are made for walking
What is up with the only titles I can come up with being from songs? I guess it’s a side effect of that music binge I spoke of yesterday.
Today, I’m a monomaniac, so I guess I’ll just have to write about what is on my mind. All that is occupying my thoughts is the newest of my obsessions, the Lucchese L7000:
I found them this morning, on a rabbit trail after looking online for local suppliers of Doc Martens. They’re hand made, and come in narrows, and just look at them!! Oh, there’s other boots on the Lucchese site that I love, but do you see that shooting star?! And look at the pretty chocolate brown color and the detail that’s perfectly simple. No one else will even think of wearing them, either. The reviews for Luchesse boots all rave about how they’re absolutely comfortable, and even more beautiful in person. I’m convinced that these sensuous, decadent boots were made for me.
Yes, I have a shoe thing, and also a leather thing. But usually, there’s no commitment or drive. I like looking, and I can be fine without touching. These boots are different. I intend to own these boots, and not one day when I’m a grownup. They are as good as mine, I’m telling you all right now. I’ve never spent more than $120 at a time for anything that goes on my feet, and that’s my New Balances. These run from $550-$700, depending on the vendor, and will serve as the perfect tangible incentive to get my butt in gear and make some excess money. I’m not going to blow any of the budget on these puppies, no matter how my feet ache for them, so I really am going to have to get cracking.

Those are gorgeous. GOR. JUS. Wow.
I would also like a pair of really nice boots. I’ve never had any. And I don’t mind spending in excess of $100 if I know it’s going to really really last. (My mother was horrified that my grandma spent $116 on my first pair of Dr Martens. Fifteen years later when I was still wearing them she was somewhat less horrified.) The pair that caught my eye at Belk are Frye brand and over $300, so yow. I feel you.
