Slache Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I have wanted a pair of really good boots for a few years, and now that I've finally broken down and decided to spent the $200, I've realized I can get a pair for half that (if only I'd known), but I don't know anything about good boots. So impart your wisdom on me you fashionable beauties you!! I'm particularly interested in brand names; ones to look at, and ones to avoid. They have to be comfortable enough to chase the kids around for hours, but not wear out in a few months. For the record I'd like something of this nature: http://www.dsw.com/shoe/matisse+brave+boot?prodId=291571&activeCats=cat10006,cat20173,dsw12cat1740092 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevergiveup Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I just wanted to say the boots you linked to are beautiful! Unfortunately, I cannot help you--I just bought hunting boots: Irish Setter Snowclaw. I am not a fashionista by any stretch of the imagination and I'd rather be warm....

I live in the upper midwest. The high here tomorrow is in the -10 range. I have a pair of heavy duty sorrels for shoveling/outdoor play, a pair of Uggs for general day to day use - driving in the car, running errands, etc. And then I have a pair of black boots kind of similar to the ones you linked for nicer occassions. So I would say, it depends what you'll do most with them and what sort of climate you live in. ETA - I've been using those 3 pair for a number of years. They all have had good long term wearability. My "dress" boots are actually keens, so they're pretty comfortable, but have no heel which makes them slightly more practical. Heels on the sidewalks there do not work at all in the winter. If I MUST wear heels, I carry them and wear boots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel TX Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Love the color of the linked boots. I wear boots every day, but they have a lower heel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimom Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 http://www.amazon.com/Merrell-Womens-Captiva-Waterproof-Espresso/dp/B00710N40U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390784766&sr=8-1&keywords=merrell+boots+women I bought these Merrell boots recently. They are soooooo comfortable! Might not be quite as stylish as you are looking for but I would recommend Merrells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
