Welcome to Is This Available? by Dana and Maria, our weekly blast about something we find on Facebook Marketplace.
Manville, New Jersey
Not to be dramatic, but I saw my future. By that, I mean a family friend told me she broke her foot by texting while walking down the stairs. That was back in March, but I saw my future again in these boots.
I saw my past too, considering I spent last summer in a medical boot after breaking my big toe in the most dramatic and sexy way. (tripping in too small Sauconys on a piece of unfinished sidewalk – and no I didn’t sue the city but I really really could have and promise I will next time).
According to the seller, these Portuguese dynamos are a solid choice for “costume, Raves, or spackling the ceilings!”. Ultimately, I really like a little chunkiness in a shoe or boot, but this is beyond. Apparently the platform is 8 inches, but if you told me they added over a foot of height, I wouldn’t bat an eye.
I’ve simply never seen anything taller in my life. And that’s coming from a NYC native for fuck’s sake!! There is frankly so much more platform than there is shoe and that makes me sick also like my awareness of foot health is a sign of my fleeting youth. Watch where you step always and forever, faithful ITA readers!
