I convinced my mother at 10 to buy me these, similar boots. We were at a department store, I spotted them——fell in LOVE. They were a darker reddish brown and the top cuff was a fluffier lighter sherling.
I LOVED them. But even at 10 I knew they were feminine, if not outright girls boots. But I LOVED them.
So with my prodigiousness intact I calmly found my size and went over to my mother and handed them to her as my choice.
“I think these might be girls boots.”
“Oh? They were over there in the unisex section. For girls and boys.”
My mother scrunched up her face, trying to figure this out.
“I really like them, they’re comfortable and waterproof.”
“This heel is at least 3 inches.”
“Look at the snow grip on that. Good treads.”
“Are you sure?”
“I am.”
“Promise me that you’ll wear them with your slacks or jeans over them? Don’t tuck your slacks or jeans into them.”
(OH! I hadn’t thought of that fashion move.)
“Sure, sure. No problem. Over. Always.”
She bought them….and days later I was sauntering around the 4th grade with my slacks/jeans tucked tightly into them.
And occasionally, by myself, doing a full Wonder Woman twirl to change from Diana Prince to Wonder Woman.
And then I would run——and run I did—-in my high heeled boots.
Christmas 2022—-as my year end treat—-I went on footwear binge, and bought some Durango's and Ferragamo's.
Yes, I allow my slacks to fall over them. Best Emporio Armani suit support ever. But it’s a 2 inch plus heel, has a sure grip/base and fits right in with my dozen other pairs of boots in varying colors. I no longer do the Wonder Woman transformational spin but I walk….I walk like a motherfucking STAR in my boots. My dream is to wear my Emporio Armani suits with my red bottom 3–4 inch boots or stilettos at some sort of board meeting, any board meeting—-I will crash a board meeting!
My ultimattttttttttttttttttte boot fantasy—-I might go this summer. One has to go to Paris for this.
Christian Louboutin Boots
As a man, one must go to The HOUSE of Louboutin to have them custom made for your feet/legs. $2500 a pair.
Yes, I will wear them from the hotel to the parties in Paris and then to the airport, and then take them off on the plane………… but PUT THEM BACK ON when we land in NYC!!!!!
I’ll probably find a way to involve a long coat, scarf, Armani suit and dark shades and ATTITUDE!
This is what those “unisex” boots have wrought a couple of decades later. lol
This is probably besides my insane scarf collection the most effeminate thing I calmly, casually and often do. Boots. Shut up. lol
