I KNOW everyone has had boots for years and years, but I haven't. Up until the big weight loss, I couldn't find a pair of boots that fit over my calfs and ankles without hurting. Of course, now there's more styles, more choices.... and I found these!!!! They were at the Avenue, always a good choice for big footed women! They're slouchy, and soft inside, with adjustable straps. I can't wait for fall, to pair them with black trousers, or some tights under a skirt! Yay boots, yay weight loss, yay Shopping! MC
