Desert Boots. . . .


I don't remember if i mention this or not, but I've been wanting a sturdy pair of desert boots for a while. In my opinion, these are an updated version of last seasons desert boots. My favorite part of this shoe is it's simplicity. Ankle high, simple stich design, one solid color.

By now, you may be wondering where i obtained such rad shoes. Well, about a week ago i discovered Etsy, and my life changed. Etsy is basically a fashionable Ebay filled to the brim with Vintage and Handmade items. I bought these shoes from SkippyHaha's store.

My Etsy cravings have been skyrocketing these past few days, and I'm not sure my limp wallet can take it. There are just so many cool stuff........ ok back to the shoes. These are by FootJoy and are a joy to wear. I love the feeling when your walking down the street and people kinda quickly glance at you, and their eyes move down to your shoes, and their glance turns into pure jealous. (That's pretty much what happens every time i wear these shoes).

The only down part to these attention grabbing shoes is the slight heel. I know I'll probably get used to it, but for now the heels on these shoes are making it a bit harder to walk and keep my balance (i actually fell down once...too embarrassed to tell you guys the story.) However, if a slight heel is the price i have to pay for beauty, I'm all for it! It hurts to be beautiful.....(i don't hurt often so...).

However, putting the heel aside, these are amazing shoes. The color easily matches the rest of your outfit, its perfect for Spring/Summer, the shape is really attractive, and the price i bought it for was rather pleasing. I don't think SkippyHaha has anymore of there shoes ( :( ) but i know that she has many more vintage items. Thank you Etsy...for being so RAD.

  3. I know! So much talent on Etsy. We did a feature on a shop called Some Like it Vintage and the owner is a dv survivor with a horrific story, but she is an awesome lady/seamstress. She donates 10% of her proceeds, too:-)

    Cool shoes...great find~Meredith

  4. Thanks so much for the blog love, Mordrian!

    I DO have another pair of boots like these right now - but they are lower, and gray, and not nearly as high quality as the ones you got. But they are brand new, never been worn.

    All the shoes I have (mainly for women):
