MY favourite pair of boots and I have parted ways. On good terms, mind you. They stood by me – and held me up, let’s be honest. They were a little too high in the heel and did occasionally propel me into the arms of unsuspecting bystanders, but it was all in fun. They were just right with jeans, great with skirts, good with tights and not adverse to a chunky pair of sock when my toes were a wee bit cold. That was then. This is now. They sprang a leak, an irreparable, too-far-gone, should-have-noticed-earlier-but-was-in-denial leak. Thankfully I bought them for next to nix at an op shop years ago and have had my wear of them – as quite clearly the owner before me had. It was time to give them the old heave ho. Boots, you were loved. Rest in peace.
