Thanks, all.
These are SO much fun to wear. Wore them for my 12,000 steps so far today and no pain or blisters. Might eventually need a small lift/ insole for my plantar fasciitis. I got a TON of compliments from the youngsters today on them and one from a sweet gay guy who loved the "matchy-matchy."
Laurie, that is too bad about the jeans. They definitely fit large -- a full size, maybe a size and a half. Heck, maybe even two sizes, depending on what type of jeans you've been used to wearing. I have a looong rise, so that part is excellent for me.
Lisa, that's interesting about the sizing! I am typically a EU 37 or a 6.5 or 7 in US sizes. I almost always buy a size 7 in boots and booties for thicker socks or an insole, and that is what I bought here. Plenty of length, plenty of width, but definitely not too big.
They are NOT precious! They are leather lined in GORETEX. Or Goretex treated leather, I am not sure which. But in any event -- they are waterproof and quite warm. I wore thin socks today but my feet got hot after a while. I think with proper wool socks and possibly a fleece insole, they will work here in the cold. The only issue will be the gap between trouser/ jean and shoe. For that, I'll need fleecy socks. But...it is nowhere near as cold here as it gets in Winnipeg, so YMMV.
I don't think they will get too dirty. I'll use a dryeraser and baby wipes and all the usual stuff to clean them -- just what I use on my white sneakers.
Susie, that is such a pretty sweater! You will look adorable in these shoes. Hope you enjoy them.
Elizabeth, ha!
JAileen, you should try them! They might indeed work!
It is interesting how many of us like mustard but not near the face. This mustard capsule is really fun for me because a real change!
Smittie, I know....I saw it at NAS and it was love at first sight. Angie enthusiastically approved.
