Footwear log, why not

these are my feet 

inside my shoes 

that I love even though their wooden heels are horribly loud on the concrete floors

seriously, they are amazing aren't they

Greatness. Even though the metallic treatment on the toecaps scratches off if you so much as 

look at it wrong

and the only suggestion the woman in "On the Mend" had about that

was

to buy some nail polish in the same finish

and

touch them up whenever necessary

She suggested "OPI" nail polish

I took this suggestion seriously enough to go

into David Jones cosmetics hall

(a step which cost me some psychic effort)

and examine the offerings there

I was horrified at the price of this "OPI" nail polish

I mean, really

and also the metallics they had there were not right

so I never did have to face up to the dilemma

you know the one

so much for the bright idea of the woman in "On the Mend"

she is usually pretty genius at the fixing of shoes

I won't hold it against her

this time

but three strikes and, who knows, maybe she will be out

I assume there are other shoe repairers in the sea.

there are no feet inside these boots. I was trying to capture their jaunty stance in my own stancing, above. I don't know but I am pretty sure that handing out boots like these is how they got people to volunteer in two-bit colonial militias in the olden days.
