Clearly, I’m obsessed with shoes. Especially boots. I LOVE boots. And one of the best parts of summer, in my opinion, is that Fall boots start making an appearance. I wear boots all year (as it’s gotten harder and harder for me to wear heels recently, and I prefer boots over flats), with jeans or dresses or a combination of both. Cool non-leather boots are not too hard to find, but in Summer a ton of them start popping up in preparation for next season and it’s a perfect time to snag a variety for later in the year.
I’ve been noting my favs for a few weeks now, and here they are! And yes, I would buy all of these…all 50 plus! And some of them I already have, lol. There are definitely a mix of styles here, I couldn’t make up my mind to include just flat boots or booties or knee highs, so there’s a little bit of everything. Much like my closet.
Above are my favorite boots/booties currently and from over the years. I’ve got a few more pairs, but these each have a special place in my heart.
Left to right: Rainboots purchased in 2008 for a trip to England (in the winter). Wore them every day I was there. Franco Sarto tall black boot purchased in 2006 from Zappos. I should have been saving all my money for grad school expenses but….yeah. Charlotte Russe tall brown boots purchased last year, I wear these constantly and get complements every time. Short cowboy boots, I think from Delias. They go with EVERYTHING. Short brown buckle boot, can’t remember where I got these, but sooo comfortable. Black buckle bootie, I think from Bakers. Most people think it’s bebe. The last two I don’t really wear any more, but I can’t bear to part with them. The one on the far right is from a pair of black, platform boots I bought in the Camden market when I lived in London circa 2000. They were major clubbing boots, I used to dance for hours in these. They have been re-soled and nailed back together half a dozen times. Next to these, is a minor miracle – a black, platform boot that I bought around the time I stopped wearing leather. Sixteen years ago. Even though they are scuffed up, I could still wear these today if I wanted to, as they have yet to fall apart. And incredibly – these boots are from Payless. Yes, Payless, makers of the cheapest shoes on the planet. Just goes to show, you never know where you are going to find an amazing (and long lasting!) pair of boots.
Happy shopping!
