Boots for pointed toes?
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Sam has pointy toes. He also has fur that attracts a ton of snowballs. I have been looking for boots, but anything in his size has toes that are bigger than the heel (not the correct term I'm sure)That were probably made for a lab/sporting foot. Where can I find a boot with more narrow toes?
