А вот сапоги – это была песня! Спасибо бабушке! Та всегда внушала маме, что вещи надо брать навырост, и при очень редких покупках не было возможности убедить маму взять нужный размер. Да Вика и не спорила, была рада, что хотя бы такие сапоги – на два размера больше — были у неё. В конце концов, можно было надеть носочки или подложить вату.
