Boots and April Fools’ Day! By the way, it’s April Fools’ Day! This annual tradition on April 1st is all about jokes and pranks. Tricksters often reveal their mischief by shouting, “April Fool! April Fool!”
So, let’s talk about boots. Just to clarify upfront—when I say “boots,” I’m not referring to any politician. Though, that’s up for debate.
Boots You Can Buy.
Boots are a reflection of women’s perception of order in the world of fashion. Last winter, I bought my wife a pair of stylish lace-up winter boots made of high-quality leather trendy, sturdy, and just perfect.
I was pleased with the purchase, thinking my wife would enjoy showing them off on the streets.
She would have happily walked around town, feeling great, without a care in the world. Plus, this meant fewer “we need to buy new shoes” discussions. However, I soon realized I was completely out of touch with women’s fashion. Apparently, simple-cut footwear is no longer in vogue.
Gentlemen, if you haven’t yet bought your wives elegant shoes, beware you risk facing an avalanche of disapproval in high society, along with a cascade of complaints from your wife.
Doubts About the Future.
Perhaps my doubts could be dispelled by some advice—man to man.
The last fashion magazine I found on my wife’s table left me in shock. To put it mildly, it showcased an absurd, almost animalistic approach to footwear design.
I dare not even mention to my wife that I’ve seen this collection!
Who knows?
She might just say, “Let’s buy them!”
The mastermind behind these creations is German designer Iris Schieferstein. Her boots incorporate various animal parts everything from cow hooves and horse shoes to moles and even taxidermy birds.
Exotic animal skins are also used, but that’s just a minor detail in the grand scheme of her wild imagination.
If you think she just escaped from a psychiatric hospital, you’re mistaken. She travels the world with her collection, and there are women willing to pay a fortune for these shoes. Notably, Dolce & Gabbana has even created an entire shoe series inspired by Iris’s designs.
An April Fool’s Day worthy design.
Are women really falling behind in fashion, walking the city streets in outdated, unfashionable footwear?
I hope not! But as the saying goes, “Hope is the fool’s comfort.”
Choosing the Right Boots.
To save many women from a lack of self-criticism, let’s clarify what boots should actually be like. On a serious note, properly selected winter footwear should not only be stylish but also high-quality.
Naturally, they should be warm and comfortable, too. When purchasing boots or booties, examine them carefully for defects—from the sole to the toe. Quality boots must have structural elements like a firm midsole, reinforced toe cap, and stiffener.
These features provide stability.
At the same time, the toe cap and reinforcements should not be visible from the outside or press into the shoe’s interior. When pressed, they should return to their original shape.
Additionally, check the zipper’s functionality and ensure fur linings don’t get caught when fastening. Keep in mind that high-heeled winter boots can be uncomfortable in icy conditions, significantly increasing the risk of slipping and falling.
April Fools’ the Desire to Joke.
Now, back to April 1st, let me correct myself and add a joke or two to this tale of footwear madness.
Jokes on April Fools’ Day.
After placing coffee grounds inside the toilet tank and flushing it a few times, the brown water is going to make it awkward between all of your housemates, to say the least!
If you have access to a friend’s FB (someone who’s a serious social media fan), change their posts’ visibility to private for the day and see how long they’ll last before inquiring about their lack of likes!
Fill a doughnut up with mayo and expect plenty of cringe-worthy reactions!
Stick a straw into a yellow mustard packet, put the packet in an unsuspecting pal’s can of soda or sparkling water, and wait for hilarity to ensue!
Freeze a bowl of cereal and milk overnight, and your child will wonder why on earth they can’t spoon it out the next morning!
