Sometimes I'm smart and learn things because somebody tells me something and I actually listen. Other times I have to learn the hard way.
I have learned the hard way that you really do get what you pay for. There is a huge difference between price and value and sometimes value comes with a higher price tag.
I am telling you this because I don't want you to faint and fall down and hurt yourself when you see the price tag on these boots.
I've already told you how much I love boots. They are one of my very favorite things in life, but it was only recently that I purchased good boots.

Oh I have boots. I have a bunch of them. And I like them. They are cute. And they didn't cost me a whole lot. And... they pretty much kill my feet.
It began with an internet search. I was searching the World Wide Web looking for love. I was actually searching the World Wide Web looking for some pretty cowgirl boots when I came across a pair that had my name on them. I mean they literally had my name on them. They are made by Lucchase and called Amberlyn (my middle name is Lynn). Well that settled it. It was like a sign or something. These boots were obviously meant for me!
.
And then I checked the price! They were about 5 times what I normally pay for footwear. Needless to say all of those hopes were dashed to smitherines.. But my sweet hubby told me that I work hard and that I needed to do something nice for myself and suggested I go ahead and buy them. I do love that man. But not just because he lets me buy boots.
So off I went to Liberty Western in Lebanon and ordered a pair, Now, I have to tell you that the moment I slipped my foot inside of one of these babies I knew it was going to be something special. I knew they were pretty but I had no idea that they would feel soooooo good on my feet. I'm not kidding when I say they are like wearing house slippers. They are a little more flashy than what I usually wear but I figure at my age, the more attention I can draw to my boots and away from other things, the better.
Normaly its suggested that you wear them for short periods of time at first to break them in,but I would have none of that. I wore them all day the first day I had them and at the end of the day my feet did not hurt for the first time in a long, long time!
These boots are handcrafted and are of superior quality. Yes, you do get what you pay for. I wish I had learned a little earlier in life that buying good quality footwear will pay for itself in the long run.
If taken care of, these boots will last a lifetime. To me, that is value. And my aching feet are no longer aching. And that makes them worth every.... single ....penny.
