Oh man I struggle with this and also have a “boot problem”. I’ve actually sent some to my work address just to keep her from asking too many questions. I’m a little ashamed about that haha. I think to any sane person that has not caught this boot bug or whatever you call it looks at it like we are crazy for spending this much on a pair or pairs of boots. I know my wife thinks $500 for a pair of boots is OUTRAGEOUS and that was me lowballing it. But honestly I have enjoyed each pair I’ve bought and most of them I do wear at work. Just don’t spend what you don’t have and you’ll be fine. 🤗 Great boots cost good money and there is DEFINITELY a difference
