The boots arrived today, and were sitting on my front porch when I got home. True to form, Zappos only took a couple of days to get them here, even though they leave themselves 4-5 for the free shipping option. Love the boots. I've never gotten multi-color ones before--just basic black and what started out as tan before I mink oiled them, and is now more of a light brown.

Greg bought his GF a pair of Lucchese boots for Christmas, so it was funny when I ran into him online over the weekend, and pointed him to the picture here. He's from Dallas, so of course he didn't think they were in the least outrageous. He left the company a couple of weeks ago, but used to work for me. Jean's still on staff, and has about eight or nine pairs of cowboy boots in various colors from tan with lavender flowers embroidered on them to a pair that's turquoise and yellow. She'll get a kick out of them, and they really weren't that expensive--about average. I'll wear them tomorrow if it's not icy outside.

I'm really glad I upsized half a size to a 6.5 because unlike my other pairs of Justins I was unable to order them on a combination last and had to order them in medium width. But they fit. My feet look enormous to me in them. Pity the poor soul who has a size 8 or 9 foot. They'd really look like Bigfoot in them!
