I love the boots. A style like this transcends trend and will last forever. They will be a comfortable classic regardless of what is popular, and that is money far better spent than on boots that make your feet unhappy.

And the kittens are ADORABLE! Curse my allergies - I want a kitten!

Thanks everyone!

@N-Marie & Rabbit
That's a really good point, we were thinking along those lines too. I think it will be good that they will have each other, especially as they will be alone a few hours in the morning during the week (with the exception of my Oma).

The names were chosen by my brother and sister. Both love Harry Potter (I do too). I remember that the fifth book was the very first regular book I read in English. Because I couldn't wait for the translation!

Agree with everything you said about the boots. And oh no - allergies aren't fun at all.

Great boots! The style is timeless so wear them proudly for years to come if the fit works.
Mmmmm kitten love... We lost our 16 year old jack russell cross this summer & promised our 12 year old a kitten after her older sister gets settled at college so there's a kitten in our future too! Your new fam members are adorbs...

These boots look great!

Yes one kitty for each boot ha ha! So cute!

Those boots look amazing in terms of comfort and quality, and they are so timeless you can keep them forever, especially if you plan to resole them. I have done this to a pair of boots I got from Bocage and they have been going strong for...going on season #4 now!

Another brand that uses hand fabrication and great leathers is Airstep (now called AS98) but they have a much more edgy look. I am dreaming of getting a pair!
