My BOOTS are here for Trinidad Carnival 2011!
And they are TOO gorgeous!
| A Chinese man said "those are AMAZING how did she do that? They look like a fairy tale!" lol! |
They are also the only boots ordered in my size that actually FIT properly, putting shame to the Ebay and DSW.com orders which both had to be returned because they were not true to size…this is some cheap pair of Payless boots and they are QUITE comfortable…if I don’t break them in though the insoles and heel inserts I want to put in them for cushioning might make it a close fit. But still at least wearable where the other too had no toe space with just my foot alone in the shoe!
These actually seem padded enough that I could maybe put in just the heel inserts and be okay, if it came down to it.
Now to wear the heck out of them around the house trying to break them in somewhat before I leave! Gonna do all my remaining packing and preparations in these boots! Lol! Thanks to Niecy's Custom Designs!
And in case you're wondering how I plan to pull this off with this costume:
Note the gold earrings and gold-tone shades...and as the Carnival Obsession divas advised me, blue and gold makeup baby!
And my makeup artist already has something along those lines up on her Facebook page:

Got big feet and a small pocket? Carnival boots up to size 13, $34.99 on sale now!
There are sites that have big sizes, like Torrid, but they tend to have extra wide calves as well and if you're like me with slim calves (or even normal ones), those boots are going to be falling off your legs. But, maybe you're not Paris Hilton and don't feel because your foot big you should spend $100 on boots you lucky if you get to wear for longer than a day or two!
In that case, one option is Payless, which is having a sale on boots in various colours, and best of all they go up to size 13, AND they should be available in stores for you to try on before you buy, unlike many online shoe sites. Below are my picks based on looks, note I am not endorsing quality or anything of the boots, just how they look, and the fact that they are readily available up to size 13, in regular and wide widths, and in regular and (for at least one style) extended calves!
Don't forget to protect and comfort your feet on the road with inserts (both insoles and heel cushions) for those boots. Walmart has them for men and women, and I am sure the men's will go up to a larger size than the women's. Check out Dr. Scholl's and other options here.

In addition, until tomorrow, October 27, 2010, Payless is giving an extra $5 off any online purchases of $25 or more!

So now you're in your section... where to get your CARNIVAL BOOTS done?
See Ms. Niecy's Custom Mas Footwear (examples of her work here).
She can also point you in the right direction if you have big & wide feet and/or calves. What worked for GroovyLittleThing might work for you! I have big but not wide feet so I am still on the hunt. :)
And speaking of her, she designs boots, and will be front and center for Trinidad Carnival playing mas with YUMA! So check the page link below and get in touch with her through her email or through this link to her Facebook group!
She got herself these (pre-decoration from her of course, this is not the end result lol!):
from this site
and reports "they're perfect for me because they're made for a wider foot and calf (i have both) and there's still room to fit an insole in and still be comfy.
and they have up to size 12"
She designs for men and women, so men don't be shy!
*disclaimer she's not paying me to make this post nor have I had boots designed by her before, but I have seen her doing this for a little while now and her rates are reasonable, based on the complexity of the design. /disclaimer*
