Wearing these knee-highs shopping today

Many of the photos here were posted on my Instagram page shortly after they were taken. However it always has been my intent to also put them up here for several reasons.

There are any number of Flickr visitors who are not on Instagram or are unlikely to find my pages there. And photographs here are of much better quality, and not limited to 10 photos per post.

I have recently decided not to post new content on Instagram. While I don't intend to take down what is already there (at least as of now), I've become increasingly unhappy with the way it operates. Far too many advertisements and "You might be interested in" posts. Too many "private" members. Some members who have gone down the "AI photo composing" rabbit hole. Their right, but after a little while, their artwork becomes boringly repetitive. And Instagram's annoying ways of attempting you to get more "screen time" and see more of their ads. by posting entries out of chronological order, six day old photos you've seen too many times before new content you might enjoy.

The final straw there was that several of my Instagram entries were taken down for supposed "trademark infringement" I've been around photography intellectual property policy for a long time, and trademark infringement can only occur for commercial use, like advertising or selling a product. So, goodbye Instagram, to see my new photos, keep an eye out here.

I realize I'm way behind in posting here, this batch is a year and 1/2 old. But, I'll try to catch up soon. Thank you.

These boots make walking in the cold comfortable. I received them, already somewhat broken in.
, in late 2022.

The rubber sole was already worn off the plastic heel wedge, several inches completely worn off and a couple more inches dangling at the rear. It is worn quite thin elsewhere and now beginning to wear through under the ball of my foot and in other places. I've worn these quite often, and the heel wedge is continuing to wear down, particularly at the rear.

The plastic heels can be slippery on hard surfaces, but the rubber soles on the forefoot grip very well, so the boots don't slip at all when walking, even on surfaces like the terrazzo floor in the malls.

I think about half the plastic has now worn away under the back of the heels (perhaps about 3/8 inch); they do tend to rock a little back and forth when I'm standing still.

The boots are immensely comfortable and have joined my collection of favorites.

The uppers are real leather, as labeled. Size 8 (presumably women's), fit my small men's 7 or so feet comfortably, not even snug. They have a label "Steven by Steven Madden" inside.

These must have been expensive boots when new, I'm surprised the previous occupant didn't have new heel pads put on when the rubber wore off. But all the better for me.
