Brrr....it's getting cold

I have been obsessed with knee-high boots for as long as I can remember. I don't know what it is, but I've always like the jockey-style boots that I see people wear. It's so...cool, for the lack of a better word.

Unfortunately, I have ginormous calves. They are short, muscular and fatty all rolled into one. I've come to accept my calves. I don't shy away from wearing skirts just because my calves are big. In a way, I've come embraced them the way they are.

The only thing that sucks is that I can't fit into any of the knee-high boots because the circumference of my calves are so huge. When I lived in CA, it was ok. I was mostly sacrificing not being able to sport that one style.

But man, I'm getting so frustrated! It's getting cold in Japan and I want, I mean NEED, these knee high boots to keep me warm.

It's really sad that shoes in this country are mostly made of really poor quality and they aren't cheap.

So, I was forced to solve my own problem.

After about 3 hours of research online (because even the "extended calves boots" wouldn't fit me, I made a purchase. A pair of boots will be shipped to my US address and then one of my lovely family members will ship it over.

I think it was more than I've ever spent on a pair of shoes. The fit is also still uncertain at this point...but I'm glad they're coming!!!!
