This is what I spent my money on
I rarely display an item on my blog that I have recently purchased, but these are probably at the top of my list of purchases that I've made in my entire life, and I do admit to a bit of a shoe fetish. Some would deem it a financially unhealthy fetish. I consider it an investment in foot health.
There's no way that they are as cute in this picture as they are in real life. After browsing literally hundreds of pairs of boots on the internet and at stores in Manhattan, I knew these were the ones. When I received them, they were even more amazing than I'd imagined. Fit me perfectly like a glove, smelled of beautiful, fresh leather, and softer to the touch than I expected. They have a structure that can't be seen in the photo; a ridge on the toe that makes the foot look super sexy. They look round-toed in the picture, but in truth they are a pointy-ish round-toe which is the perfect balance. If you are looking for just the right boots and none of the styles out there are appealing to you, I highly recommend these. Fabulous and comfortable. They are Circa by Joan and David and they are worth every single penny.
They came in a big shiny yellow box with a soft yellow felt bag to store them in. When I opened it up, it felt like nothing short of Christmas.
On the other hand, I highly discourage you from ever purchasing a pair of shoes from this brand, Irregular Choice. Their shoes are cute as hell and look deceptively comfortable, but a friend of mine and I both ordered a pair from them (each in a different style) and we agreed that neither of us has ever encountered such an uncomfortable pair of shoes in all of our lives. Consider yourself warned. I couldn't even make it a half a block in these little fuckers. Not to mention that for some reason I thought they were cute in the picture and when I received them I realized that they were hideous. But that was totally secondary to the fact that they felt like vice grips on my feet. That is why I have renamed them "Uncomfortable Choice."
Yeah...I can post finally.
Those boots are to die for but ya know I'm not brave enough to wear heels...I feel like I"m tall enough as it is but I so want to wear shoes like that...one of these days I'll get brave but I know you look cute as hell in 'em.

Posted by: girl at November 10, 2005 01:20 PMThe crazy thing about these boots is how comfortable they are! At 3 inches, the heels are relatively high, but I think they are amazingly comfortable.
Sandy, you could pull it off! I might be crazy to wear the kind of heels I do at 5'9", but I don't care. Being taller than everyone else says "don't fuck with me OR these heels!" Hahaaa.

I would wear them to high school all the time and I thought I was the shit. in fact, I referred to them as my shitkickers at the time. I felt like I could totally whoop some ass in those boots. I think I left them in Michigan when I moved down here. *frump*
