  1. The new boots were out of the packaging so I made a point to wear them to church today, and I knew that doing so would get a thorough reaction from my wife.  She asked if she could maybe have a pair made too, wondered if they made “women’s boots too”, and tried them on, so I would say that this is a success.   She thought the tall tops were a bit hot for July, and the heels a bit tall, but we can go with something more “normal” when we design her pair.  I had followed her feedback and reduced the underslung angle and went with round toe, so I think we’re all happy - I’ve managed to design boots that satisfy my craving for heels, and yet don’t have issues with controversy over “girls’ shoes”.

    I bet if you posted pictures of yourself shopping at Walmart, or wherever, you wouldn't get any mean comments. Or at least they'd be few and far between.

    There will always be mean comments, but you are right, they will be better mean comments.  At least we move past the “playing in your mom’s closet” reactions.

    I worry about how I carry myself in my boots also.  I want to walk like I am wearing nikes while maintaining a masculine appearance and strut.  I have only gotten a few comments, but they were positive.  Would love to see of video of me walkining in my boots so I can judge for myself.  I feel pretty comfortable on layovers wearing my boots, not likely to meet anyone I know....Except fellow crew members, always bumping into them coming and going from the hotel.  Most are used to seeing me in my tame cowboy boots that I wear for work, but I'm sure they notice my high heel boots when they see me....  Would love to hear what is said about me in operations when I'm not around....Or, perhaps it is best not to know....

    I have now walked with you extensively around Austin twice and you look great.  If you wanted a video you should have asked!  I've taken videos of myself in 4+" heels:

    I also ride my motorbike to get groceries, though these days, my ride is much smaller, and my footwear is more minimal. 😁

    For some reason, those boots are much more impressive from this angle, even though you can't see half of them in this picture.

    I actually don’t own any motorbikes - there just happened to be one in the parking lot lol.  I have helmets because I race cars, and I am way more comfortable wearing them than floppy cloth masks.  

    Yeah I’m really liking how the heel shape of these boots turned out.  The underslung angle is not nearly as severe, which has kind of a less distinctive profile, but at certain angles it really shows off the height.

  5. I am not holding my breathe for the next time I will be on a commercial flight again.  It was fun while it lasted.  Between the mandatory masks and cuts in on board food and beverage, I probably have no business getting on a commercial flight for a while.
