(image: light brown knee high boots ) :
I have huge feet.
Being blessed with feet-large-for-height
genes from both parents, I am a size twelve.(43-44 Israeli size. ) Most stores here carry to size 40, many to
41. …and a few to size 42. Until lately, I have bought nearly all my shoes in a
special store in Jaffa, or in America. Or I buy a feminine-styled man's sport
shoe.
Once I saw that a
store in the Petach Tikva mall had a few size 12 shoes, but nothing that I liked.
Today I popped in there again, as I was passing by, and I found KNEE HIGH
BOOTS.
I have always dreamt
of wearing knee high boots.
But my feet were too big, or my legs too fat.
But these fit. I GRABBED them!
I commented to the
casheir: "How lovely that you have knee-high boots in size 12. That is so
rare."
And in his reply he
mentioned that these boots are also WIDER than usual.
POP!
POP!
POP!
My bubble of finally having thin-enough-for –knee-high-boots legs burst.

But the boots
aren't a snug bare–fit, either, so I will enjoy them anyway.
DRAT! Why did he have to mention that!??!
You made me laugh with your pop-pop-pop!
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling though. I very often also have to buy men's shoes.
Mets/roses on WT.

Plenty of people of normal weight wear wide-calf boots. Enjoy the boots.
ReplyDeleteThat salesman needs to find another line of work! Rude & thoughtless comment!Your boots are lovely & I bet you look amazing wearing them!
ReplyDeleteBeverly, he didnt realize what I was thinking nor could he see my upper calves. He was only noting that the boots where a wide calf style....
