A 55% Savings!
Boys, I’ll let you in on a little secret: I love shoes. I’ll also let you in on another little secret: there’s no better shoe than the one that’s on sale.
Yet today, I stumbled across this pair of black boots. I love black boots. But the fact that these are still $930 after the 55% discount… well, let’s just say that for that price, those little golden embellishments ought to be at least 18 karat gold, able to be removed and sold for scrap.
And to make them more ridiculous, they’re velvet! If I’m going to pay close to $1,000 for a pair of boots, they’re going to have to be made from the softest buttery leather, handcrafted by a gnarled, skilled Italian shoemaker living alone in a workshop in the heart of Florence. And possibly delivered in person by his handsome 20-something grandson. A grandson who will speak adoringly in Italian, will cook me a spectacular bolognese sauce and will leave the recipe here when he flies back to his homeland.
Nah, I still wouldn’t pay that much.
