New Boots

Is this the thirteenth or fourteenth pair I’ve tried?
Mina wondered to herself.

She slipped off the boots and placed them back in the box, sighing. They had looked nice enough, but they just didn’t fit right despite being her size.

One pair of boots just one.

She sighed regretfully -thinking about the boots she was trying to replace. They had been soft black leather,and fit her perfectly. They also went really well with her favorite pair of jeans. She was about to give up when she noticed another pair. Probably the only one she hadn’t tried on yet. The pair was black leather with a one -inch rounded heel and a silver accent. Deciding it was worth it, she found her size and eased her foot into one. They fit. She decided to see how they felt walking. They were wonderfully soft and comfortable with just enought support. She slipped them off, really grateful for her find. She really needed the new boots. The old pair had her ex-boyfriend’s blood all over them.
