It was not created to promote or sell boots.  From time to time, I get inquiries that have asked, &#8220;how much is such-and-such pair of boots in size X?&#8221;  I have replied saying, &#8220;my boots are not for sale.  This is a display of my personal boot collection.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, someone saw a page on my website about an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bootedman.com\/gone\/wescoplain.html\" target=\"_blank\">old pair of plain Wesco Boss boots<\/a>.  He noticed on the page that I said that I do not wear these boots much.  Since they were stock and the calf circumference was tight on me, I wasn&#8217;t wearing them.  He offered to buy the boots from me, and I thought about it&#8230; and agreed.  The boots will be worn with pride in California.  I&#8217;m glad they got a new good home.<\/p>\n<p>Again, I&#8217;m not in the boot selling business, but there are some pairs of boots that I don&#8217;t wear very often because my size has changed.  From time to time, I will sell a pair of boots that someone else makes a decent offer to purchase from me.<\/p>\n<p>Life is short:  stay booted!<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My bootedman.com website was built to organize my boot and leather collection so I would know what I have, and give me a hobby &#8212; writing web pages and doing web tricks &#8212; which is fun and interesting when I &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/?p=842\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-842","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-wesco-boots"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=842"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/842\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=842"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bootedmanblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
