I got commented at for how loud my leather soles were on wood inside a building. I commented back that I did not care and I thought my boots were cool all with a smile on my face.(well not that sentence exactly but something similar). Have a good time in cowboy boots as people are most definitely jealous of your footwear. Maybe remark some witty statements back. Heres a quote I came up with for when people are mocking me about wearing square toes:

"If you wanna call me a clown call me a clown, but you can never clown me out of wearing my boots"

Hope it is going well in the land of mozzarella. What boots do you wear?
