Boots for swollen ankles? Not so fast


Yesterday when eating some French fries in the sidewalk seating section of a little place near my house, a girl walked by wearing boots. I don't wear boots until there is a fall-ness to the air because my feet get so hot, but the weatherperson said Monday would be Fall-like, so I was ready.

And happy.

The ankles are super swollen, and so are the feet. I can hide the unsightliness in boots! Perfect.

Not so fast.

My most favorite boots in the whole wide world are made by Frye. They are functional and fashionable (a very difficult feat for most footwear) and can hide the elephantiasis look I have going on below knee.

If only I could get them on.

I tried first on my left foot. Wouldn't budge past my heel.

I got my right foot in after a struggle. But left foot was a no-go.

Socks! I thought. Thinner socks!

Trying to take off my right boot almost hurt as much as my hemorrhoid. Almost.

I switched socks, and battled with the boots to get them on.

I have no idea how I'm going to get them off.

  2. I wore them two days in a row. Hubs took them off the first night, but today...um...I was by myself and thought I was going to have to take a nap in the boots. Got them off...but with quite a struggle. Eek!
