I should probably be embarrassed about how enamored I am regarding my new boots. It’s just that – they really are cool and bring me great joy just to slip them on head out the door. Maybe I can start to relate to many women’s own obsession with shoes – but only just a little (since I only own ONE pair that I adore).
BUT – I have now found out that I am not alone in my adoration for the Wolverine 1000 Mile boot. None other than The Flying Tomato …
