This community appears somewhat dead but just in case…..

I have a favorite pair of boots that I got well over 15 years ago. I take good care of my shoes but they have seen a lot of wear. I have searched in vain for a similar replacement with no hits and I wonder if anyone either knows of a good lesser known place to shop online…some better search terms, or even if my description below lights up a lightbulb for anyone who might have seen something that matches.

These boots are black suede, platform wedge boots. The platform is pretty decent (1/2” maybe) and the wedge and platform together probably give it about 4” of height. The calf is a VERY loose slouchy calf that stops about mid-calf height and tends to slouch down with wear to slightly lower. Around the ankle there is a subtle buckle and the whole thing pulls together for a kind of fashionable and chic but kinda tough and biker girl look. I guess maybe like sexy motorcycle chick? I can upload a pic if anyone shows any interest.

Anyways. I’ve searched all manner of loose, slouchy, baggy…platform wedge boot. Mostly getting snugger to the calf boots that have a slouched or folded LOOK but not actually one loose slouchy calf.

The suede part isn’t that big of a deal but I think it’s the softer sueded leather that makes it such a loose and kind of saggy calf. They look awesome with skinny jeans and I’m a large calved woman so that’s how I ended up with them in the first place.

Any ideas would be welcomed!

I work at a very small company and am the only non-christian. It's not a faith based org but the owner is VERY religious and half of the employees are of the same faith. The rest are different factions of that faith. They all know i dont practice but i keep my views to myself.

However, im starting to tire of the “god is guiding us” talk. As an example, i recently made an error but discovered it quickly due to a series of coincidences and managed to fix it before it became a real issue. My boss made mention that “god is always guiding us” and basically said i was led to find this error by god. I REALLY wanted to ask where god’s guidance was when i made the error in the first place.

Anyways, whenever she says something like this I usually just give a “mmmhmmm” or other somewhat neutral and non-commital response. I honestly don’t think there IS a better way I can respond but figured I’d post here in case anyone had suggestions.

And before it’s suggested…there is no HR, it’s an amazing position outside putting up with the religious mumbo jumbo, and I’m not going to quit or report the boss.

P.S. as a reddit refugee who desperately missed the exchristian sub there, i do hope this community can get some more action. Reddit is dead to me, lol.
