strappy red sandals
2003-08-07 - 8:58 a.m.
I'm waiting for the contractor, for the work crew, for the UPS man. In other words, I have my station wagon back but I can't go anywhere. And if I was able to go somewhere, I couldn't buy anything, because I have nowhere to put it until the floors are installed.
So I've photographed two cute pairs of shoes that I have, before they get too banged up and abused, although the red shoes have already seen quite a bit of action already.

I have quite a large collection of cute boots as well, and if someone doesn't show up quickly, I am in danger of hauling them out and photographing them too. Imelda, look out!

The black velour boots below are
from Kenneth Cole, and they were the official card-counting boots, as they were extremely comfortable for walking, with a sturdy high heel that gave me some height as I was strolling by back-counting the tables. I've replaced the heels twice over the years on these boots, but they were well worth it. A couple years back, I bought a similar style from Kenneth Cole in black leather, but I'm not going to photograph those poor abused boots, which actually go into wet, muddy hiking trails in search of birds. Frankly, the velour boots would be comfortable enough for hiking, but it would ruin the velour in short order. I have to say, kudos to Kenneth Cole for crafting the most comfortable boots and shoes I've encountered in this wicked world.
Below is another pair of Kenneth Cole boots that is much more comfortable than they look. One time a lady came up to me and asked me how I could walk in them, but it's actually quite easy because the pressure is spread out, instead of being focussed in one spot as with a stiletto heel.
The style was called "like crockwork" and you can see why from a close-up of the pattern embossed on the leather:
These colorful purple snakeskin boots didn't photograph well, but they are adorable in person:
For the price I paid, $30 at Guess in Caesar's Forum Shoppes in Vegas, I have to doubt that these are genuine snakeskin, and I certainly don't plan to buy any reptile skin products in the future, other than properly tagged alligator, which seems to be harvested responsibly, judging by the comeback of these once-threatened animals.
