It's not a look I would normally do, but I wanted to wear my new boots, so I figured since it's supposedly fashionable, I would give it a go. Even if I didn't care for a particular fashion, if someone was excited about a new purchase, I would never say something like that, especially with such a sneer. Sigh.
I think she was just sad because she didn't get any hot shoes!

I see two options here. 1) don't put your boots on until you get down the stairs or 2) learn to only hold on with one hand... one hand is smartly cautious... 2 screams "I'm going to fall on my arse"

She's just jealous! Probably because she didn't get any cool new shoes at a steal and because you make the "californian" style look good! BTW, that's not just a california trend... I happen to enjoy wearing that look and Im in the midwest.

I'm so jealous! I've been boot shopping for 2 weeks now with no luck
I need boots that are low (no heel) slip on and are fashionable. All the ones I find are $100+

Oh good luck with that! I'm on a never-ending quest to find comfortable boots that have a low heel, don't look completely ugly, and are slip on or zip up. Yep, I'll get back to you when I find a pair for under $100 too!

For $4, you should have bought those boots regardless of size...they don't make ebay for nothing!
Those are great boots, and congrats on the deal of the century!


That girl was just being a Debbie Downer.
Enjoy your boots, and wear them with whatever you like!
