In the words of Nancy Sinatra, “these boots were made for walking, and that’s just what I’ll do.”
However, these boots were actually made for dancing and at 50+ years old, I can no longer do these steps without danger of torn or sprained everything. (first girl on the left) So what’s a girl to do? Here are a few tips for the end of the season boot shopping. And by the way, on this particular Fashion Friday, Cozi Rosie decided to sit this one out.
First of all, no square-toed boots. Choosing an oval-to-point toe boot will elongate our look and give us a thinner, taller appearance.
Be sure to check them out on Zappos. Great prices and free shipping.
Second, choose classic style boots with little to no embellishment, if you want them to last from season to season.
Third, wear the highest heel that is comfortable for your foot. Stilettos may be out of the question for most of us over-50 ladies, but we can comfortably wear wedges in different heights.
Fourth, if the calf is too narrow, but you love the boot, consider having them stretched. A local boot store here in town only charged me $5 to have mine stretched. Otherwise, ask for wide-calf boots.
And be careful because… “one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you! Start Walking!”
What a great photograph! You look beautiful; LOVE the smiles.
I hear ya on the torn and sprain dangers. I sprained my ankle this weekend just getting out of bed. 🙁
Great boots, love both pairs.
Has been great catching up today.

Nice boots! I need some good basic plain boots…maybe I’ll check those out. Sounds like the prices are good now.
Poor Cozi Rosie…she must be tired with all the traveling all over she does. Tell her “Hello” from me and I’ll catch up with you two sometime soon.
