My boots

Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.

Boots are a type of shoes.The main difference between a shoe and a boot is that boots cover the ankle and sometimes the lower leg, while shoes generally don’t. 

I was a law student in England.My father funded all my fees at University and later at the Inns of Court in London. I was also enjoying a fat student allowance but I would never spend my papa’s money on fancy clothes and stuff.

However, I fell head over heels for the trendy knee high leather boots that I saw at Russell and Bromley in Oxford Street, on my way to the underground tube station.

Idea! A good idea flashed in my mind!

I secured a job as salesgirl at Self Ridges during end of trimester vacation.

Et voilà! I bought my first knee high leather boots, color brown with high heels!

I wore my adorable boots during autumn, winter and early spring,with added pride, having bought them with my own earned money.

I love boots. Even at my age now, I feel very tomboyish, wearing them with my old jeans.
