What’s the story behind your nickname?
Not going to lie, I love my boots.
I fell in love with Frye boots when a shop opened up at Tyson’s Mall. The smell, the variety, the ambiance… yep. It smelled and looked like a western tack shop.
I haven’t owned a horse since the mid-nineties, but the love is still there.
Fast forward to probably 10 years ago: Frye Boots.
Oh, man.
One pair has become….more.
I wear their label at least once a week in the summer, almost everyday fall-spring. I love them. Great product, all around.
How did I get the nickname?
I think it was J from work. I was dating this guy that was a total control freak. He told me what I could buy, what I could eat, when I had to workout. All the things. It was shit. No, we aren’t still together.
So I wanted a new pair of boots, but dude had nixed it. So I snuck them in, basically. I was regaling this story to my coworker and they just started calling me Boots afterwards. We have nicknames for each other in Jabber. I believe I’m still Viscountess Martha Boots in at least one chat group. Gotta make it fun!
