Great feelings indeed, the best!
Thanks for all your encouragement buddy, I have finally mustered the courage/confidence to properly wear my boots over the levis. Actual comments/compliments are rare, but sometimes I can almost "feel the stares" as if folks were talking out loud. I'm always nervous about being around kids, especially in tight places such as elevators. We all know that kids have no "filters", and will say whatever is on their mind. I can honestly say that I have never actually heard a little kid making a comment though. Every once in a while, I do get a compliment, split 50-50 between women and men. Most are too polite to make any negative comments, although I am sure there are comments after I have passed by. I try to remember that the most negative comments usually come from the most frustrated, whether it be women or men. At the end of the day, I must remember that I think I look great in boots, which is really all that matters, although I'm not afraid to admit that I value and appreciate positive feedback from others.
