SHOES | RIP River Island Boots


Today is a sad day. I've been in denial about it for a while but I think my poor, beloved River Island chelsea boots may be coming to the end of their life. Forgive this slightly ridiculous, emotional post dedicated to a pair of shoes. I just love them that much, okay you guys.

I've had them reheeled countless times, worn them pretty much every day for a year, and well and truly loved them to death. Needless to say, as a result, they're looking pretty worse for wear. I've had to cover countless scuffs with black Sharpie pen. They are a shadow of their former self. I know I'll continue to wear them until they fall apart, ugly as they are. It will be with a heavy heart that I finally say goodbye to these worn-out old bastards.

  1. I felt that way about a pair of old tan boots I got from Barrats. They eventually fell apart on the sole and I could no longer wear them. It was a sad sad day. I feel your pain!

    They are still beautiful though!

  2. I have these same boots in brown but I honestly never wear them! I recently had to throw out my patent leather chelsea boots which were perfect but had fallen apart :(

    1. I can never get on with brown boots - though I'd recommend wearing these, they're so comfy!
