I bought myself two pair of black boots just before Christmas. To the best of my knowledge my wife has not seen them yet. When and if she does I have no idea what she will say or how she will react. For quite a while I thought I'd return the tall pair. I felt that they are just too much. But after trying them on several times I realized that they are just too damn sexy to take back. Of course I really don't have much opportunity to wear them.
