In just 10 short days, I will be the owner of

[Heidi]

these absolutely beautiful new black leather boots, as a Christmas gift from Call Me Wesley (the left boot) and The Wiley and Excellent Cat Named Ginger (right) boot. :loveya:

Behold, my future boots:

[KitchenWitch]

1. Sweet

Moderate heel, not too pointy toed...NIIIIICE!

[Heidi]

3. They are the boots of my dreams, KW.

They're from England, and not too pricey, for the custom fit. They're made to _exactly_ fit one's calves: not too loose, not too snug. Check 'em out. :thumbsup:

2. Whoa.

Trés chic! Very nice.

:D

I like.

[Heidi]

5. They absolutely _beg_ for a calf-length

camel-colored wool coat, don't they? :thumbsup:

[Oeditpus Rex]

4. Gulp!

:loveya:

(That's the closest DU comes to a "Yes, Mistress" smilie.)

[Heidi]

9. Sadly, you have confused MY future boots

with SeattleGirl's future boots:

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. LOL!

I like yours much better. Those look like something one might wear to the Exotic Erotic Bowling Ball.

[Heidi]

13. BOWLING?????

As you know, proper foot attire for the Exotic Erotic Bowling Ball is pre-worn bowling shoes. SHEESH! I can't believe I have to tell you this stuff!

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. I'm sorry :(

What can I say? I'm only a lowly geek. I don't know all this "hep cat" stuff. :cry:

[Heidi]

19. Oh, the passive-aggressive thing might work with gullible Heidi, BUT

I implore you (for your own sake) not to try it with Mistress SeattleGirl. :rofl:

[neweurope]

6. Seeeeexy! Truly great! Post a pic wearing them!

I can't wear boots like that - my legs are too thick. There isn't one boot that fits.

:cry:

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[Heidi]

Go to the website, neweurope!

www.duoboots.com makes boots custom-sized for nearly every calf-width! :thumbsup:

[neweurope]

18. I saved the link. Thanks!

Yes, they might even have something for me :)

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. I saved it, too

Probably for different reasons... :blush:

[BikeWriter]

7. Pretty party boots, Dear. ;-)

[Heidi]

8. Are they not the most artist-worthy boots you've ever seen?

I picture myself (wearing these boots, naturally) sitting in an outdoor cafe, sipping espresso and watching the passersby from behnd my Marilyn Monroe sunglasses. :rofl:

[BikeWriter]

11. Tres chic!

[In_The_Wind]

12. OMG - that is one of my fetishes ...

I love boots!

I just bought 2 pair of Uggs.

[Heidi]

14. I, too, love boots,

though I stop just short of fetish territory. I just like footwear that's comfy, nice and will last a while. :thumbsup:

[In_The_Wind]

27. I have ...

6 pair of western boots
3 pair of shearling boots
1 pair that is long hair yak boots - they look like I'm wearing sheep dogs on my feet. I've shampoo 'em at the end of every winter since 1979.
1 pair of red squall boots
1 black short pair with high heels - almost all of my boots have flat heels

That's a partial list of the boots I've collected that I'm still wearing.

I also have 2 or 3 pair that are almost new that need a home. They're size 8 1/2.

[Heidi]

28. Wow!

I am a mere novice compared to you, Joani. When it's warm, I go barefoot. When it's cold, I wear Birkies and socks. When I'm trekking, I wear trekking shoes. My new future boots are just for looking nice when I leave the house. :shrug:

[In_The_Wind]

35. I love to go barefoot whenever it's possible.

If I really must wear something on my feet I'm in sandals, clogs or boots.

My most recent acquisition is green ...

[ComerPerro]

42. When I saw the subject line, I thought you mean't something different

:spank:

[BamaGirl]

15. They look great

Very nice!

[Heidi]

16. At one point in my long life,

I owned 52 pairs of shoes. Now, I own fewer than 10 (mostly trekking shoes and Birkies) and these boots are the first shoes I've absolutely salivated about in more than 10 years. :loveya: I am smitten. :blush: :thumbsup:

[BamaGirl]

25. Well damn, I thought I had a lot of shoes lol

Hey, a girl can never enough shoes, right?? :bounce:

these boots are the first shoes I've absolutely salivated about in more than 10 years.

You have to have them then! There's just something about a great pair of shoes, ya know? ;)

[Heidi]

26. See, and here's the thing:

I'm almost _certain_ that these boots are going to smell absolutely heavenly, like the inside of a new car. :loveya:

[NMMNG]

20. Ooh la la

Now how did you get the cat to cough up cash for a boot? All my roomie's cat ever coughs up is furballs. :puke:

[Heidi]

21. Ginger gets an allowance, naturally.

We're progressive companion animals, and an allowance is essential to teaching one's cat fiscal responsibility. :thumbsup:

[NMMNG]

23. Has she ever gone out and blown the whole wad on catnip and tuna fish?

[Heidi]

24. Ginger's a boy, so he naturally spends his allowance

on cathouses. :rofl:

Nah, really, he's a neutered male. Mostly he spends his allowance on Christmas and birthday gifts for me. :rofl:

[NMMNG]

29. Boy, he's one generous cat

:rofl:

[Heidi]

30. Oh, he does have a selfish side as well.

Case in point, the Christmas card he sent us last year:

[NMMNG]

31. If he were looking at me that way, I'd fork over a gift right quick

:scared: :rofl:

[Heidi]

32. He rarely has to ask twice for anything.

As it should be. (See how well he has me trained?) :rofl:

[NMMNG]

33. My roomie has a refrigerator magnet that says

"Dogs have masters. Cats have support staff."


And it is true, so very true. :rofl:

[Heidi]

34. Your roomie has uncovered one of the Secrets of the Universe.

:thumbsup:

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. Hey!!! That's the DUO Isola Boot!!!!

I've got that pair. I also have the Palma pair! Enjoy them. They are really comfy after they shape to your foot! :hi:

[Heidi]

37. Right on!

I can hardly wait to get them. I have some other black boots that look great just aren't too comfy, but after a long search, I found Isola! :bounce:

[ScreamingMeemie]

38. You're going to love them! I wear the Palmas to work (I'm a real

estate appraiser) almost every day in the wintertime. :hi:

[bridgit]

39. nice score gf, you're making out like a bandit...

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: one for each boot

[southlandshari]

40. I like them even more, now that I know you are

5'8" with awesome legs!!

:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. Wow, Heidi!

These look just fantastic! YES, once you have them, you MUST post a pic of yourself in them!

Way to go, girl.......

I LIKE.......


:woohoo:
