Does anyone know of good sites to find Winklepicker type boots that are NOT cheap, fake leather, or have stupid bat buckles? (I have already looked at Pennangalon). I'm looking for a nice quality pair, with a good point to the toe and preferably with alot of straps and buckles that are not bats, or coffins, or other cliched things. LOL It's harder than you;d think it would be!

I found that some of the more vintage styled western boots have alot the same look, with nice long points, but it's not the same shape and they have heels. they can look gothy with pants, but I want that more gradual point that the traditional winklepickers have. I should have bought them years ago when it was alittle easier to find them.

Good question 'cause I eventually wanna get a pair myself.

Seems like there are so many different kinds, its hard for me to tell what is "cheap". But since the popularity of the style is on the rise among the latino community (of which is huge in the US) i have to imagine just about anything you'd want is available.. Just walk down the street in Mexican town on a friday night and you'll trip over someone wearing some really expensive looking ones at some point (although they tend to be more like "cowboy boots" made of snakeskin than the 3 buckle euro-style , but there are plenty of them around too)

Bat buckles? Is that a fashion term or do you mean actual buckles that look like bats?

      ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.

      I'm glad  that yesterday's day at work is long gone now. There was a very strong unusual energy that I felt, and couldn't get done with the day fast enough. It wasn't  the job at all. I just felt like I really needed to keep my mouth shut, to keep me from getting in situation(s) that probably wouldn't have ended well for me.

      You can trust anyone you want.  The only question is whether or not they're deserving of that trust. No risk = no reward.  As such you have to let yourself be vulnerable sometimes and realize that all people will let you down eventually whether it's intentional or not.  The frequency that it happens is what's important.

      Sorry, I don't check this as often as I should. Anyway document everything (although it sounds like @Trene4000already has been from her post.) It's okay to cry and break down, but not in front of them.  Never give them the satisfaction of seeing you crack.  If anything I'd go out of my way to piss them off, but I don't like being that guy either (and as such I'm not very good at it, except sometimes when I'm not intending to be.) I try to only help those whom deserve it, but that's often hard to judge.  Seeing how someone treats other people is a pretty good indicator of whether or not they're worthy.  Sociopathic narcissistic asshats are very much not worthy. I hope things are going well for you guys.
