pointy toed shoes

every single time i've worn my pointy toed boots here in tucson, i've gotten comments about them. every single time! i'm not kidding. the people that have been commenting aren't just the people i'm working with here, they're also strangers! at first i thought it was an old guy thing, since all the people that have been commenting are guys over 50. (usually the comments are, "wow look at those boots, they're weapons!" or "don't want to get you mad, cause i wouldn't want to be kicked with those things!" etc ) but today this old woman (stranger) asked if my feet hurt! so maybe it's an old person thing (there are plenty of those around here). plus i don't think tucson is too big on fashion. i don't think anyone would say anything in CA, cause it's normal! so strange. i mean, yes, they are pointy, they look like /\ /\ , i guess they just aren't using to seeing shoes like that. next time i'll be sure to bring regular shoes =P
