ask don't tell

i want a pair of boots. boots that look cute with skirts. girly and tough.
now if you know me irl you may say - but you have those cute fluevog boots.
they are breaking on the back calf seam

so it breaks my heart but
i need the boots

and i have wide calves
so i have to usually do lace up of some sort to allow for the calves

help?
