A good pair of boots makes a girl feel tough. Nancy Sinatra had it right when she said that her boots could walk all over a guy. A pair of dainty flats may make you feel like a ballerina, but they don't have any heft to them. Throw them at the wall and they'll barely make a dent. But boots? You could knock a window out with a padded pair of winter boots. It's not that you're planning on throwing your boots at a window, getting sued for damages and all, but it's nice to know that you could if you needed to. It's nice to feel like you could do some damage if you had to--like you're that kind of girl--the kind of girl who can take care of herself.
Boots are metaphorical. A good knee high boot protects you from the world. You don't have to worry about stepping in the mud, literally or figuratively. You put on your boots and suddenly you're elevated. You've got emotional shoe armor going on.
Not only are boots tough, boots are damn sexy. When you wear boots you feel like a sexpot. Even big, clunky combat boots. All that leather and all those laces. They make you feel like a punk rock sexpot. Pink sheepskin boots? Soft wool warm against your cold foot. A girly ski bunny sexpot. Knee high checkered rainboots? You're a somewhat damp sexpot with an umbrella!
Some women like high heels. They thrust the boobs out and the behind back and they accentuate the feminine. But there's nothing like a big pair of furry mukluks on a thin ankle to bring out the girl in the boot and the woman in the girl.
