Could you please put this in the form of the other makeups in the OP so that I can add it. It is better than for me to translate, nad invariably get something wrong. Incidentally, we did do a plain black boot that looked pretty much exactly like that, but it turned out to be our least popular makeup.
Well in that case I'm in as well.
cmon man don't quit on me now. we've come so far and been through so much together. this boot is our calling.Well, if you're in, I'm out.
Actually, after thinking about it, I'm not necessarily a fan of rough-textured boots. Prefer a smoother finish. So ixnay on the axedway eshflay.
