not for the first time am I like "oohhh a boot made for me, a goth girl," only to find out that apparently I'm looking at some sort of working man's boot.

Great boots for smashing the patriarchy OR dry wall.

Yeeeah, I am concerned that it might not be available in my size. Many work shoes are not available in my size.

One of the great things about Danner (besides being BIFL) is that they understand that women do, in fact, wear boots. The Acadia is available in a narrower width down to a ladies size 5.

I work with some ladies who have very small feet, and these are their go-to boot because of the sizing.

Most built tough to last a lifetime boots will tend to be blue collar work boots, cause these are the people that need reliable footwear the most.

That's entirely sensible! I am aware. But that very logical thought process only works if as a starting point if you know what sub you're in. I just saw the thumbnail and clicked, driven not by practicality or value proposition but by "oooh, pretty boots!"
