The Search for the Perfect Pair of Boots

Current Mood:

Since it's been getting colder, boots are popular again. However, it's surprisingly difficult to get just the right pair of boots for me.

"What's the right pair of boots for you?" you ask.

Black leather knee-high boots.

"Lots of that around," you say.

Stiletto heel.

"Still lots of that around."

Square toe.

"Aye, there's the rub."

Okay, so you're probably not going to be quoting Hamlet, but you get the idea :-).

Square-toed stiletto-heel black knee-high boots are awfully rare. Every knee-high boot we've seen with a stiletto heel has a pointy toe, and every square-toed knee-high boot we've seen has a clunky heel.


My feet aren't made for pointy-toe shoes--I end up looking like the Wicked Witch of the West. And I definitely prefer the flirtier look of a stiletto heel over a clunky heel.

We'd been to JCPenney's, Dillards, Macy's, Sears, Payless, and Rack Room Shoes. Steve was so sweet and helpful--all the other husbands/ boyfriends were sitting on the designated "guy's bench" in the store but he was right up there with me checking out all the shelves and bringing possible boots over to me asking, "What about this one?"

We didn't have any luck, though.

I finally had to admit that I wouldn't be able to get them for a reasonable price in any of the local stores. So today I did something that I don't usually recommend: I ordered shoes online. After much hunting, I finally found a pair of boots at shoes.com which was a nice compromise:


Not quite a stiletto heel, but close enough :-). I was lucky to even find *this* pair :-). Normally $79.99, they were on sale for $49.99 and it was free shipping (and free return shipping if it's not a good fit) :-). They should get to me at the end of the week. I'll keep my fingers crossed that I won't have to send them back :-).
