prideful.

So I hadn't gotten any new boots this school year. Typically I am a skirt and boots kind of girl and rotate pretty religiously between 2 or 3 pairs of boots for work. I prefer boots because they are heels that can go through the snow. I also am VERY hard on nylons/tights, so it helps that I only have 4 -6 inches of open area around my knee for me to snag when I wear boots. It really help those hose last longer!

Both of my boots this year had worn down to the point where one pair was pretty uncomfortable, so I started wearing the other one more. This resulted in the break of not one, but both of the heels (during a skyway marathon literally across Minneapolis). Desperate I ran through the skyway to Macy's on the way back knowing that it was time. I had been looking at boots for a while, but nothing had really struck me. I also knew it was time to find a lower option for heel length. I always run between 2 1/2 to 3 1/2, but I have really felt how much more energy it takes to go through a day in heels.However after looking through the selection of many nice boots, some flat some mid-range - I fell in love with these. They are RIDICULOUS!!! They are by far the highest heels I have ever attempted to make it through the day in- and I LOVE THEM! My pride at still maintaining my chosen image won't allow me to really dwell on how stupid it is to try to make my body adjust to these every day. They make me feel so sexy, and they set me apart from the rest of the women I know, and I just can't let that powerful feeling go. My feet have other feelings . . .
