A Short History of Boots

        Orange and purple stand out 
            from drab green

        One pair is snubbed
            by a drag queen

I understand that drag queens are persnickety about their boots....

Hello Gershon, Orange and purple against drab green felt like a small rebellion, and the drag queen reference gave it a sharp, unexpected twist. Holiday Blessings, Gershon, Daniel

brown, leather, laced, scuffed, worn 8 to 10 hours a day for safety not fashion.
