The boots are on.
Laced up tight.
Little Xs pulling things together
(Are those hugs or kisses?)
No matter.
When you’re giving winter the boot,
either
is a good message to wear.

Fluevog.com Miracles Logan boots from the “Narrative of the Grey Boot Quest” blog post.
I always feel slightly super powered when I wear these boots, though I can’t wear them if I’m running late for work since it takes 4 minutes per boot to lace them up! 🙂
Sometimes you just get lucky. Unexpected discoveries, simple pleasures, a wish fulfilled…
Three years ago, I started looking for the perfect pair of grey boots.
My criteria:
I found the Second Miracle Logan’s on Fluevog.com and drooled big time. They met all the criteria except price. Unfortunately they were 3X the budget, and there was no way I could talk myself into them. >>sigh<< Every once in a while I’d go back to the site and stare dreamily at them. Then this fall, they were gone. I let go the dream that those were my dream boots. I kept searching for grey boots, but despite the odd ‘grey boots only’ shopping events, I remained empty handed..ur…bare footed?
Today, I was at the Fluevog site and clicked “Clearance.” There were 3 items in my size, and guess what was there? ONE pair of my Logan boots! AND they were so discounted that with tax and shipping they STILL met budget! My boots are in Montreal. Fantastique. Soon they will be here. My quest for the perfect grey boots has finally ended.
It’s a simple pleasure to have a goal achieved. Is this a lesson on the value of perseverence and patience? Perhaps. Lacing them up is definitely going to require perseverence and patience! (No kidding- there is no zipper in these).
I decided that I can’t buy a single additional bit of footwear this month.
Good thing it’s the 31st.
No wait. It’s the 27th! That’s 4 days to remain new shoeless! Wow. That will be hard, but I will fight my base urges and restrain myself.
