I found a pair a couple of weeks ago. They were perfect in every way.
Except one.
And that one thing was pretty important. They hurt my feet like hell.
I tried wearing them around the house, but they killed my arches. So back they went.
But now, tah dah! I have new boots:

The only thing that stopped me from getting these boots originally was the platform. I'm a tall girl (relatively of course, my cousins and brother would disagree), I don't need platform boots. But they passed all the other tests, so now I finally have (slightly hookerish, but that's not all together bad, is it?) black boots.
Just doin' my part to save the economy.
