if the shoes don't fit

When it looks like a cool boot and sounds like a cool boot and awakens some interest in forming some go-to weekend ensembles crafted around some kickin' boots, ordering the boots is a cool move. Respectful of the self and positive yet thoughtful impulse.

However, if the boots end up looking flipping huge and make you feel even more aware of your large feet; if they buckle along the side like your feet are too shallow and just look funny, if the leather texture screams "don't I remind you of those keen boots you used to wear every single day of your life while you felt like crap about all facets of your life?" - well then maybe, free returns is a good feature to embrace.

If you don't love them, then they don't work, so spoke a wise friend.

I want to love them, but I don't. I need to love myself, so I need to not keep boots which are not quite right.

Because why set yourself up to further cultivate self-loathing by keeping a somewhat expensive pair of footwear which doesn't quite work right? So you can feel stupid and bad every time you wear them, or don't wear them?

Two words, self: Free Returns. Embrace it. Much more of a warm fuzzy than say, stupid self.

There are other shoes out there. You'll find them. They probably won't solve the great universal mystery of self love, but they should at least fit well.
