Dear Sir, _ I completely agree with "Short Leg Admirer" and "High Boot Lover" on the attraction of a well-shaped high boot. I had never been fascinated at seeing one till a few months ago, and this is how it happened. My fianc‚ e met with a serious accident about a month after we were engaged, which resulted in her left leg becoming five and a half inches short. The first pair of boots that were made for her were clumsy-looking things which laced up to about four inches above the ankle, showing an expanse of stocking between the boot top and skirt, which we both decided looked unattractive.
After wearing these for some months (during which time she tried to dispense with her high boot, but found it impossible, as it was too tiring to walk far without its aid), she decided to have another high boot made for her. This one was well shaped, with a very slender heel. Incidentally she has this boot made higher, as she wanted to wear a smart high heeled shoe on her right foot; thus the high boot had an eight and a half inch heel, and laced right up to the knee. Now all this had been done unbeknown to me, so just imagine my thrill when I went to her house to keep an appointment and she greeted me dressed in her latest outfit and wearing her new high boot in highlypolished black kid and a smart black patent leather court shoe on her right foot. It was a sight I shall long remember. When I told her of my feelings, she said I must be "nuts," because she says she can't see anything nice in wearing a great big "clodhopper."
I showed her "High Boot Lover's" letter, and now she is going to get a smart pair of shoes and have the left one raised, the same as he says his lady friend has done. It is now ten months since my fianc‚ e got her first high boot made, and though she is still shy about having to wear one, she walks without the trace of a limp, and has also learnt to ride a cycle. I hope the sketch is good enough for reproduction. It is of the first time she was wearing her knee-length high boot.
Hoping to send you some photos later.
Yours truly,
Cork Boot.
