The Sole's Delight

The Steve Madden Midori boot are my "pushing the envelope" shoe. To me it is a contradiction within itself. It's a suede boot, yet it has an open toe. When I first saw this shoe I thought.. " If it's cold enough for suede, how is it warm enough to have your toes exposed?" I still don't have the answer to this question, but somehow Midori makes it work. lol Not unlike many things in my life, on the outside, it seems like they just don't go, yet I make it work. Midori is the first shoe I brought that doesn't common sense to me LOL but she does make sense on some other level which I cannot articulate at that present moment.
