Appreciate the condolences.

Kelly and ChristalJ, such kind words! Thanks so much

Thanks for the encouragement, kkards and Style Fan!

I’m very sorry to hear about the loss of your aunt.
I have a few pairs of somewhat stompy boots, but generally I prefer a more classic, dainty style of footwear. Your new purchases are beautiful!

Very sorry about the loss of your aunt, Angie.

On a happier note, those are very fun shoes! I like both pairs. I hope the first ones will live up to their potential -- you can never tell, right?
