I must practise more with the camera, Freddy, and maybe I will master both the taking and the processing of pics before too long.
I'm glad you like the MJ boots, as I do. Yes, they fit very well and are comfortable, if a little awkward at times because my legs tend to bow outwards slightly as I walk - a slightly lower heel would reduce this but not be so much fun otherwise. I agree entirely regarding the style of the pointed toes and the heels. I have only worn them (briefly) in public under long/bootcut jeans (with much of the heel concealed) but perhaps I should be more daring and pair them with some shorter/narrower trousers, as they deserve. A similar boot with a stiletto heel is, as you suggest, what most of us would prefer to wear - but practicality and reticence have to rule - most of the time anyway.
