New Rock Boots
We first learned about New Rock Boots on the on-line comic "The Devil’s Panties," by Jennie Breeden. She, and her alter ego, both wear a flame decorated pair. Then we had dinner at Howard Tayler’s house, with his family, oh, Howard is another on-line cartoonist. His comic is, "Schlock Mercenary." We all had a lovely evening, and he had just returned from Vegas where he had purchased a pair of New Rock boots. They were very cool and the three of us, Jon, Charles, and myself, vowed if we went to Vegas we would visit the store, and go boot shopping. As it turned out, Charles wasn’t with us in Vegas, but we still kept the promise to ourselves. Shawn got to watch us try on boots. Let me say that the store in Vegas seems to work at not being noticed. We were actually not sure if it was open, or closed when we drove by. Also, Howard thought that it was on the edge of a bad neighborhood. We didn’t find it a bad neighborhood, but then we were traveling with a policeman. Cops have a different definition of bad, than most people. But, just in case you visit the store, I wanted to let you guys know that since I don’t know your background or life experience, your mileage may vary on if you think it’s a rough neighborhood, or not. Also, you will need quarters for the parking meters. No quarters, no parking.
I will also say that Carlos, who may actually own the store, and waited on us, isn’t as friendly to women as you might like. I found him very discouraging, and only sheer stubbornness won through his rather uncaring attitude. What do I mean by that? He found a pair that fit me, then didn’t want to find anymore boots. He seemed to feel that if I had one pair that fit me, then his job, and my shopping trip, were done. He was more happy to help Jon try on several pairs of boots, but even to Jon, he wasn’t the most eager salesperson I’ve ever met. Don’t get your feelings hurt, don’t get discouraged, and the boots are worth it. By the time we left, I had bought two pair of boots, Jon only found one pair he wanted. But without further ado, here are pictures of our new boots.
