So I brought this to Japan with me because I thought this would be great for a 10°C weather (with my black boots as a backup just in case it falls apart). I wore it on concrete, dirt, rain, and snow. I walked for at least 60,000 steps for a few days with it. It kept my feet warm and surprisingly, it held up. It is even comfier than my store-bought ankle boots.

In Kyoto.

While I am all for high-quality shoes (read: expensive), this made me realize that sometimes, cheap is okay as long as it does NOT compromise comfort and durability. Lucky I got one because such is a rarity in life. (But I'll get my feet on those cherry red Docs someday.)

My third pair was bought not because I needed it. There were no events nor themed parties to attend to. I just find it really cute.
I bought this online for only P450. It is not as comfy as the lace-up boots but changing the inner sole with a softer foam that comes with a good support (from my old, unused shoes) did the trick. Will this hold up? I don’t know. But from the looks of it, it might. I really love the style and I plan to use this on my next out-of-the-country, fall season trip.

I think my love for boots was born out of my desire to travel to non-tropical countries. In case you haven't noticed, my boots are getting higher and higher. You know what's probably next? Knee-high boots. Talagang di na keri ng weather dito. But heck! Dahil dyan, pagsisikapan naming makakapunta sa Europe! What a motivation. Haha. Well, I think it goes the same for women who buy clothes that are a tad smaller to motivate them to lose weight. How about you? What motivates you to travel?
