Boots, again

So, you'll remember that I like a good pair of boots. I went shopping in the January sales, and I found these beauties.


Aren't they lovely? I saw them standing there with a half price ticket on them, amongst all the other boots.

As I approached, I heard them call to me, "Us? Is it us? Could you love us more than all the others?"

I bent down close, and whispered, so that the others wouldn't overhear, "I already do".

I inspected them carefully and saw that they were Carvela. I wasn't surprised, because the last time I found perfection and truly lost my heart (sorry, Husband and previous boyfriends), it was to a pair of soft leather Carvela court shoes. About 30 years ago.

Aren't they gorgeous? Plain enough to be very classic, but a little detail in those buckles to catch the eye. I wish they could always be as shiny and unblemished as they are now.

I do stroke them from time to time, and I inhale their leathery loveliness, but I try not to overdo it. They need tending, but these classy boots, you know, are at risk of developing quite a high opinion of themselves, and you don't want them to get too big for their humans.

  2. my my they look comfy quality. Depth to the colour that leaves me wondering if there is a purpleness in there or just a quality black. I'd trade a husband for them for sure. Good find. Well done you. (I have boot envy, you may now feel slightly smug about that!)

  4. Lovely.
    I just had to replace my favourite comfortable sheepskin-lined boots, because the zip broke. The replacement pair is just not the same. I might just have to go back to that cobbler that said they'd be a nightmare to repair and bite the bullet.

  5. They look lovely - and comfy. I bought a similar pair last year but with a wedge heel - nightmare!
