Made for walkin’

Posted on by

I made a very exciting purchase on Friday.

See, I’ve been wanting a pair of boots much like the ones pictured above for quite a while now. I haven’t been able to find any, because every pair I have ever tried on would not zip over my calves.

I understand that I am not, nor will I ever be, thin. However, I find it hard to believe that my calves are extraordinarily large. Muscular, sure, but nicely toned, and I would think normal. Apparently, I am wrong.

But on Friday, I went into a shoe store and found a pair in black that FIT! Yay! 🙂

Rand and I attended a Halloween-themed wedding on Saturday night, which was a lot of fun. A lot of people (including the bride, groom, and wedding party) were in costume. I kind of wish we’d brought the camera! We had a lazy, lazy day on Sunday.

I worked today, which was fun, because I got to see the kids all dressed up. I love to see high school students still in the spirit of this sort of thing. There were lots of witches and fairies, but still plenty of clever, original ideas. 🙂

Well, that’s it for me today. Happy Halloween, everyone!

  1. I love those boots!

    I have a pair like that; bought them to wear with my Star Trek costume…very sexy. But honestly! Like you, I don’t have grossly large calves, but if I carried a bit of water weight or something? Wouldn’t zip up all the way.

    Stupid shoemakers.

  2. I love boots too and always had the same problem. My calves are 99.44% muscle too so it’s not me.

    I have a pair that don’t fit me in the foot right anymore (having kids will do that to you). They’re Aignier riding boots in a dark caramel kind of color. I was going to sell them on eBay since they’re in great shape. If you can wear a 9 (and don’t mind gently-used shoes) they’re yours. The calves fit beautifully. They’re in the original box as well. As I said, I loved these boots.

    So everyone in your house has new shoes? 😉

  3. Great that you found boots. Unfortunately I am fighting with the same problem, but haven�t been lucky enough to find boots yet…. I try to convince myself that I don�t need boots as they are too warm for the office anyhow and I am not out in the streets often…. but it doesn�t really help as I keep trying them on hoping I will find a pair eventually… Enjoy them every second, they look great!!
