Rain Boots.
Worn twice. Once in the store, once outside. The scuff marks and dust are simply residue from being stuck in the back of the closet for about two years.
The funny thing is it rains a lot here. Today happened to be glorious, but in all of June we had 40% more precipitation than normal and 68% less sunlight.
The not so funny thing is I can’t really walk in these boots. I convinced myself I could when I bought them, but reality quickly set in the one rainy day I wore them.
Being practically brand new, it’s hard to justify their presence here in obsolescence land, other than as clutter. Yet, where I feel they qualify is they belong to an obsolete version of me.
Status: Donate. Mr. OP was encouraging me to put them on Craigslist, and I did wipe them spotless and then take a few pics. But my heart’s not in it. Off to the sally ann they go.

Alt Title: These Untitled Boots Were Not Made For Walking.
You have some cool stuff. Heaps of cool stuff. Is there a matching hat? 🙂
Yup, between me and Mr. OP, been to too many garage sales 🙂 Although the boots were new, on sale.
Forgot to say – no matching hat:)
Love the alt title, again. Very nice boots.
Thanks Richard. I’m going to create an Untitled page one of these days:)
Those are great boots! (It’s always really annoying when footwear turns out to be unwearable in the real world. I swear the floors of shoe shops are made of some magic material; either that or they pump something that induces collective delusion in through the air con! I suspect scarcely worn footwear significantly outnumbers regularly worn footwear in my house, but it’s be too depressing to calculate a ratio.)
I really like ambiguity of the first image; there’s a very pleasing illusion that the boots might just be occupied by feet.
Thanks Ann, I hadn’t thought of that, was going for the sheer yellowness occupying the space:)
They are great boots. I’m 1/2 regretting not selling them.
So true about shoe store floors!
They look very fancy. Better than the average welly!
Too fancy for wearing:)
Oh dear. I would have Ebay’d under the heading: Snazzy Vintage.
Brilliant. As I just posted on that other sm network, I’m thinking I should sell them now. I gave away 3 bags of stuff these last two weeks, so I’ve got some good karma stored:) I am going to toss a coin tomorrow.
