I must admit I was in complete shock when I saw that these boots came from Afghanistan. These boots are very loud and vibrant which is completely different from the white and ugly sand coloured clothing usually associated with Afghanistan. Its sad because Afghanistan is portrayed as a war torn country roaming with terrorists and it has become such a normal thought that I didn't even realize i was judging everything about them including their textiles. Just like our view of other third world countries, the media always has a way of molding our opinions, thoughts, and ideas into something that they want it to be.
