i like how they have pink accents. :)

the former pair is a bit higher on my ankles than i'd like. but i think i could give them an awesome dwr finish for winter walking.

i didn't like them at first, but they've grown on me.

As long as you like them enough to not care if strangers think they look like vomit, that's all that matters.
