Settle

At long last, I have new boots! This might seem entirely trivial, but for a while there, after my last ones broke, I had no footwear other than summer heels, a pair of flats, and some semi-functional thingies that left the whole top of my foot exposed. None of these are conducive to actually walking, even for short campus-cross distances, in increasing snow and dropping temperatures.

Hence, today I bought a pair of camel/tan pleather boots that are far too trendy for my taste, but they work for what I need. I can be picky later when my size isn't limiting to the one shoe I can (almost) fit. I mean, really—I always have a difficult time shoe shopping, but I literally could not find any pair that fit well. These are the closest, and they've no arch support while pinching my big toe on one foot.

How hard is it to make a size forty-three/forty-four in something classy, brown and multi-purpose—without being clunky and 'work boots?!' My big feet do not mean I want to sacrifice style, dang it!
