35 Days...These Boots Are Made For Walking!

The Internet is actually an amazing tool when you need to go hunting for size 12 women's boots with a reasonable heel. I can wear size 11.5 comfortably if they are wide, but only for shoes. Boots and sneakers really need to be that full size 12 or my toes start to hate me and I walk funny. I somehow don't think She-Hulk with a limp would be as impressive...

A few weeks ago, I stumbled across a site that had just what I needed at http://queenfashions.com/knee_high_boots.htm
This afternoon, I was able to talk to one of the salespeople to figure out when I needed to order them so that they would arrive at the hotel in Charlotte while I am there. Trying them on to be sure and being able to return them from within the USA is SO much easier than having them go through customs more than once. Since we're actually going to be in the USA for over a week. I'll also be able to claim them as part of my allowable goods and bring them back with me rather than paying the extra customs and HST on a mail-order.

I looked at some of the thigh high boots for future costumes, but there just isn't anything between a flat 1.5 inch heel (BORING!) and the spike 4 and 5 inch heels! Even if I was shorter, I'm not sure I could walk in those things without killing myself! When I think about some of the odd and uncomfortable things that women have worn and continue to wear in the name of fashion and looking good, sometimes I am glad to be way out of the "norm" and able to decide, as She-Hulk did, to wear what I want!!
