Somehow, I'm not surprised... ;-)

Buy them. Those would be fabulous with a kilt.

I wish there was any chance they'd fit my calves, 'cause they'd be awesome with a short dress, too. :(

We'll have to test those theories.

They'd look nice, Ziptie.
And since they are your size, why not?

:D

Good answer. Maybe you'll see me in them soon...

There are worse wastes of bucks.

And they would last well if they fit well.

Why not?

Good point. I'll strive to waste fewer bucks for a while. And sell the stuff (old laptop) that will yield a buck-upside.

Damn they look good! I do hate purchasing footwear online though, never has worked for me... I'd say find similar boots locally so you can make sure they fit right.

I feel safe enough, as I usually wear a 12.5w. These should be fine with boot socks, and will be for occasional use.

If you have larger feet, check out http://www.oddballshoe.com/
I went to middle school with the founders, who were over 6 feet tall when they were 12. They're good guys. Also, if you ever get to Portland, you can go to their store in person.

Very cool! I only have a 12-13 (depending on manufacturer) but I'll forward the link so some of my friends with oddball sizes ;)
