Give ‘Em the Boot

Pucci, Fantini, Cavalli, Zanotti. What do these fancy Italian names have in common other than they all end in a common vowel? Boots! Pointy toed, really nice, expensive boots.

Did you know that in Medieval Europe, the length of your scorpion (the sharp point of your boot), said you were really something? The longer your scorpion, the higher your social status. By the looks of the shoes in Fifth Avenue windows, fashion is swinging back to that style.

In Utah, when we think of pointy toes, we think of bronco bustin’, boot-pitchin’ and @$*% kickin’. But hopefully you are also thinking of warming the soles of children. Whatever your social status give your bucks and give ‘em the boot.
