Grumpy about boots
As I mentioned, my fancy boots arrived recently. I have duly oiled them (with mink oil). And I just tried putting them on.
The right boot is snug. The left one is too snug. (Yes, my left foot is the bigger of the two: it's also the one the vendor made a sketch and loose mold of, for the artisan to work with.)
Tomorrow morning I'm going to try what I meant to do today, namely to put them on early in the day, when my feet are smallest, and wear them for a bit then.
If that doesn't work, I am going to have to call the boot company. (If it does seem to work, I will extend the process over a few days and see how it goes, bearing in mind that I can't spend significant time on this on a workday morning, nor do I want to have to change shoes partway through the workday.)
