So my wife in the goodness of her heart got one of my son's an extra pair of snow boots because his were always getting wet during recess...he is 7.
My wife's fatal mistake? Not doing the bully checklist...
Boots color = black (no-issue)
Boots design = stitched diamonds (resembles women's boots...raise the threat level to Orange)
Boot top = fuzzy black fur stuff all the way around (3 red alarms...DO NOT BUY FOR SON)

So my wife sends my oldest son after a LENGTHY "discussion" from my end about how boy's would view these boots...I lost...with much disgust, due to the current pair being wet inside.
So she sends him off to school in these 'boots' and I get a call the second he gets off the bus today...
He is balling saying he was harassed all day about the boots and picked on because he was wearing Girl boots...
To make matters worse his snow pants were forgotten, so it wasn't like he could hide them under the pant legs lol.
Talk about feeling bad...my wife was 'shocked' that he got picked on...and appears to be in some disbelief still that it was even conceivable because the boots didn't seem 'that bad'.
