About Boots

What’s going on? Everywhere I look these days I see women wearing boots. I sometimes get the feeling that I’m in Dodge City. I booted up my computer and Googled ‘boots’. I thought that Google would be a shoe in to give me just what I wanted. Big mistake. There was no way I could assimilate the information.

Put yourself in my shoes. You can bet your boots that you would be frustrated also. I will not lick somebody’s boot to get what I want, not even Google‘s.

Actually I didn’t need Google to answer my question. It’s all about fashion. Winter gives women an excuse to make a fashion statement. The fashion gurus have proclaimed that boots should adorn women’s legs. Nice legs, fat legs, slim legs, ugly legs - it does not matter. All that matters is to achieve the Zorro look.

What does matter is the stiletto heels that come with some boots. Zorro would never wear stiletto heels. Renfrew of the Mountain would never wear stiletto heels. Stiletto heels must have come from some chiropractic lobby. Any woman wearing stiletto heels must be a masochist.

That being said I must submit to the adage, “one should not judge anyone without walking in their shoes“. On the other hand, if anyone thinks that I’m about to don stiletto boots before I make any judgments about those who wear them, they have another guess coming. In the long run, if the shoe was on the other foot I’m sure the lady with the stiletto boots would not like my clodhoppers.

All in all, to each his own. It is best that I just accept boots as a fashion statement no matter how ridiculous some of the wearers may look. I’m literally shaking in my boots anticipating some of the slams coming my way from the females in my family. Time to give the computer a boot - no, no - I mean time to put it to sleep. How humane can I be.
