I totally agree. I'm going to keep looking for flat knee boots that lace but for now... It'll do. I'm a big fan of comfort, but since we're literally just discussing killing my feet with the crazy-ass boots, I don't think I'm in a position to opine on comfort vs look XD (I have some cute heeled Victorian-esque calf boots too, but they aren't super comfortable either... even if they are totally adorable)

I don't know about anyone else, but I'll likely be up early lol. I don't sleep well in new places.
