Doesn't matter - they're a birthday present.

Something special to treat myself

What a night went to this little hole in the wall place in downtown White Plains. 3 of the tables where clients with there families who just happen to be eating there. Was like whole restaurant was one big party. One of the great things about city living is taxis are 24 hr 7 days a week.

Hand made with Italian leather

A cow contributed her life to provide it's hide to be processed into leather . I hear tell that just about every country has leather processors. I have a pair of shoes that look identical to yours sans label and are VERY comfortable, but made in the USA, that I purchased about 10 years ago for $39. So, what is so special about " Italian " leather ?

But can you use yours for a down payment on a cat? I think not!

Bee is right with designer clothes if kept in good shape can be resold. Consignment shops, or ebay. I have a closet full of cloths in great shape , but don't fit me anymore. I keep telling myself one day I will go though all and sort for consignment.

now, now...

Perhaps, just for a change, try "Wow. How wonderful for you. I'm sure they were just the thing to top off a wonderful celebration"

I can buy a car for the price of those boots. Can't buy a cat,but I could buy a car for sure.

Remember, Nyboy has a bit of a fettish toward footwear. It's no where near the worst of vices.

Congrats, Nyboy, on finding a pair of boots that speak to you. It seems I remember last year (or so) you give away one pair you'd wanted but weren't the least bit comfortable. May these meet your needs for both style and comfort.
