English Leather (284/366)




My scrunch boots died today.  The heels were long scuffed and wearing through, and the zippers had been finicky for a while, but today was the day they finally gave up the ghost: the plastic loops of the right boot's zipper unraveled and pulled apart around the ankle, rendering it unzippable.  

I bought these boots for thirty quid while I was studying in England.  They felt so warm and English around my ankles.  I wore them to class and to the pub and on the plane home to America, loving them even as they grew shabby in the years since.
