(This is my first post -- you don't know me, but I feel I know all of you! I have been following the forum conversations and Angie's writings on the site for a couple of months now and have finally decided to participate. You all have been such an inspiration.)

Anyway, my doorbell just rang -- we in the Northeast are having a Snow Day -- and the UPS man brought my new boots from 6pm: http://www.6pm.com/n/p/p/7374645/c/72.html
I think I originally found these by following a link someone posted here, and fell in love with them. I got the black ones. The plum leather ones seemed delicious, but I needed black boots and practicality won out.

I do have a question, though -- see how the laces are very long, to allow a droopy bow to hang down the front? Would you let them hang, or tuck them in for a neater look? My inclination is to tuck the laces in if I'm wearing the boots with a skirt, but leave them drooping if I'm wearing jeans. What are your thoughts?
