sadiegirl Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I am on a major boot search....my problem is I can't find what I "think" I want. Last year, I bought a pair of gorgegous dark brown Timberland zippered knee high riding boots. Wear them with everything. So, this year, I thought I wanted to invest in ankle boots then I decided on booties and now I switching back to ankles or kneehigh. I have alot of grey in my wardrobe this year and so I am considering grey suede or leather...maybe black. I bought a pair of ankle boots from Dillards --adorable suede grey with zipper and a bow on side but they had about 4 inch heel and even though hubby and I both liked the way they looked on with skinny jeans, I knew that I would not just grab for them everyday or so. I want good quality but really don't want to spend more than $100-200 as I might try to buy both an ankle boot as well as knee high. I know some of you are great shoppers and I have searched online mainly...Zappos, Endless, Piperlime, Nordstrom but I think I have realized that I need someone to just say "BUY THIS ONE!!" I see several I like but most are way over budget. help anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom in High Heels Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Sorry, I can't help with that because I have tons of boots. I loves me some pretty boots! My favorite pair are my high heeled Timberlands. LURVE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mothersweets Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I have the fever! I just got back from marathon shopping with my oldest dds. I didn't have ANY luck finding the exact pair of boots I wanted - waaaaah! I think I will have to go the online route. I like the ones Chucki linked.

Pamela H in Texas Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) Well, I'm not necessarily a boot person....but... I'm looking for a pair of dress boots, tall. I found one I really like but the heel is too tall for me. There was another by the same brand with a lower heel but it didn't have the look I wanted. Figures. I use a cane and am pretty unstable as it is so I can't see having a tall heel. But I want it to be very feminine and dressy still. We did find low heel *warm* boots to go with jeans. DD and I wear the same size so bought a brown and a black so we can go back and forth depending on what we're wearing. But the boots dd chose to wear with skirts, I don't agree is dressy though the heel is ideal. Edited October 13, 2010 by 2J5M9K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LG Gone Wild Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I just got these Timberland Rebel boots and they are PERFECT! Hah! I just ordered from T9 (shirts). I almost got one of their boots but went with LLBean. I've got boot fever as well. But I've waited a couple of years. BTW, OP, Athleta has some grey boot offerings.

sadiegirl Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 I just got these Timberland Rebel boots and they are PERFECT! OK...I think I may have found the end to the search of the knee high boots...these are soooo awesome. Price is a little more than I wanted to spend but my Timberland brown ones were about that price last year and they look brand new. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HLDoll Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I just got these riding boots from Land's End with a 25% off coupon: http://www.landsend.com/pp/CasualBoots~212834_-1.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::COG&CM_MERCH=IDX_00002__0000000183&origin=index They join another pair of black knee-high boots from a few years ago that have a three inch heel. I just needed something a little more casual and comfortable. I also found a cute and inexpensive pair of distressed leather cowboy ankle boots at Target. I don't expect them to last as long as my old Justin boots, but they were the right price and close by - I'd have to drive at least an hour to find a good cowboy boot store around here. Loving boot weather!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadiegirl Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 If anyone else finds a perfect boot, send pics. Sounds like all of you really understand how I could REALLY use ankle boot, booties, knee-high,etc...it's nice to have encouragement..heehee!!!

sadiegirl Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=49587&vid=1&pid=713939&scid=713939022 I looked at these boots and love them...I read the reviews and noticed that some said the silver zipper takes away from the boot. Would that be something that would keep you from ordering this boot? I really like it and my husband was ok with the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristineinKS Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I'm seriously boot-obsessed too. I've already got the basics covered, so I'll be buying these next. You might check out 6pm.com. They are my favorite source for shoes of any kind...the inventory changes almost daily and you can get some seriously amazing deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakia Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) I definitely have boot fever right now! I am waiting on some money from a photography order to come in, and if I have enough after buying my girls some boots, I'm getting myself a pair of just below the knee boots. I am top heavy so I don't think I will look great with boots that you wear over your jeans. I need boot cut jeans to even out my top heaviness; no skinny jeans here. I don't know if I want brown or black, but I'm thinking brown because I love brown. And they need to be on the inexpensive side. They have to be flat or have a very low heel. I'm only two inches shorter than my husband, and I don't want to be taller than him in my boots. Any ideas for me?

Pamela H in Texas Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Thanks for the Macy's link. I think I like these: http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=493895&CategoryID=25441 But are y'all buying online? How do you know if you need an 8.5 or a 9 or even an 8 in a particular style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
