I bought these boots for our family trip to Gatlinburg because there was going to be a cowboy theme and I didn’t own a single pair. I didn’t know anything about boots. I just bought a pair I liked the look of.
During the trip, we visited a boot store because everybody decided they wanted boots. The owner took one look at mine and started talking about the color, the craftsmanship, and the stitching. This man knew boots the way some people know wine. According to him, the pair I walked in wearing was better than anything he had in his store.
I’ve since posted them online and heard the same thing from other boot enthusiasts.
I had no idea.
Has anyone ever recognized something in you before you recognized it in yourself?
