Alright, alright, let’s talk about these little kitten heel booties, shall we? My granddaughter, she showed me these things on her computin’ machine, and I gotta say, I got some thoughts.
Now, I ain’t no fancy city gal. I’ve worn sturdy boots my whole life, out in the fields and all. But these little shoes, they got a bit of a heel, not too high, just a little somethin’. They call ‘em “kitten heels,” I guess ‘cause they’re small like a baby cat’s paws. Cute name, I reckon.
I seen pictures, all sorts of them. Some are like regular shoes with that little lift. Some are like, well, little boots. They call them “booties,” I think. They got zippers, some got laces. Some are plain, just leather, you know. Others, they got buckles and straps and all sorts of fancy do-dads. Honestly, some of ‘em look like they wouldn’t last a day on the farm.
- First thing I thought was, “Well, ain’t those gonna break your ankle?” That little heel looks kinda wobbly. But my granddaughter, she says they’re comfy. She says they got cushions inside now, not like them hard shoes from back in my day.
- Then I thought, “What do you even wear ‘em with?” You can’t wear ‘em in the fields, that’s for sure. My granddaughter says you wear ‘em with dresses and such. For going out, you know, to town, or to church, or to them fancy city things.
- And the price! Good Lord, some of them cost more than my prize-winning pig! My granddaughter showed me a website – that “*” place she’s always on – and I almost choked on my tea. But I guess some folks got money to burn.
They got all sorts of colors too. Black, brown, that’s normal. But then they got red ones, blue ones, even sparkly ones! Reminds me of that time old Bessie’s rooster got into the paint shed. A real mess, that was. These shoes, though, they ain’t messy. They look clean and neat. Maybe too clean for my liking.
My granddaughter, she says these kitten heel booties are good ‘cause they give you a little bit of height without hurting your feet. She says high heels are torture, but these are just right. I don’t know about that. I’ve always been happy with my feet flat on the ground. But I guess if you want to look a little taller, a little fancier, these might do the trick.
I also saw some that got pointy toes and some that are round. The pointy ones look like they’d pinch your toes somethin’ awful. The round ones look a little more sensible, I guess. My granddaughter says the pointy ones are more stylish. I told her style ain’t worth nothin’ if you can’t walk. She just rolled her eyes at me. Youngsters these days.
And they come in different materials, too. Leather, that’s the one I know. But then there’s somethin’ called suede, which feels soft like a baby’s behind. And then there’s some shiny stuff, looks like plastic to me, but they call it patent leather. It all seems a bit much for just a pair of shoes, if you ask me.
So, after lookin’ at all these pictures and hearin’ my granddaughter go on and on, I still don’t rightly know what to think about these kitten heel booties. They ain’t practical, that’s for sure. But they sure are pretty, some of ‘em. And if they make folks feel good, well, I guess that’s all that matters. Me, I’ll stick to my trusty boots. But maybe, just maybe, I’d try on a pair of these little heeled things if I ever went to one of them fancy city parties my granddaughter keeps talkin’ about. But don’t hold your breath on that one.
They come in different sizes too, of course. My granddaughter was showin’ me how to order them online. Said you gotta know your foot size and all. Sounds complicated to me. Back in my day, you went to the store, tried ‘em on, and if they fit, you bought ‘em. Now you got to measure your feet and look at charts and all sorts of things. Too much fuss if you ask me.
And they say you can get these kitten heels delivered right to your door, next day even! My granddaughter says this “*” place does that. Imagine that, shoes showin’ up at your doorstep like magic! Though, I reckon the mailman ain’t magic. He’s just old Jed with a bad back and a whole lotta packages.
So, in conclusion, these kitten heel booties, they ain’t for me, but I guess they ain’t bad for them city folks who like to dress up. They look kinda fancy, kinda dainty. Just don’t expect me to wear ‘em out in the fields, that’s all. And if you do buy a pair, make sure they got them cushions inside, or your feet will be hollerin’ louder than a hog at feedin’ time.
