These Boots are Made for an Entirely Different Economy
These boots aren’t in my wardrobe budget, but I thought I’d collect them here so we can all admire their vitality. Your links to dreamy shoes are encouraged in the comments.
Sigerson Morrison 9550 Boots, $899 Betty Draper meets Deeta von Teese.
Pour La Victoire Kerry, $406 (On sale. Regularly $564) These make me want to dress like the Vogue version of a Grimm’s Fairy Tale heroine. Now all I need is a drindle made of crushed egg shells and hair that won’t fit through a standard doorway.
Kate Spade Sierra, $383 (On sale. Regularly $475.) Remember your first pair of patent leather Mary Janes? Like that, except you won’t have to sit through the sermon to take them out on the town.
Via Spiga Crispin, $425
Schoolmarm basics — they come packaged with a punitive yardstick.
Elizabeth and James Vegas Boots, $564 Your mom will hate these. Sometimes that’s still reason enough.
Love all those gorgeous boots! Unfortunately my price range is more of the Steve Madden variety (just bought these) but one day I will have one of these amazing pairs of boots sold by calf size (down to the centimeter!) from the UK.
Hm, the link to the awesome boots-by-calf-size I dream of didn’t work. Trying again: http://www.duoboots.com/
It’s not right for an East Coast girl to want cowboy boots. Yet I dream of wearing these….

If Fluevog’s name is on it, I probably want it.

oh! those are lust-worthy!! I want these, which aren’t that expensive but are totally impractical – http://www.modcloth.com/store/ModCloth/Womens/Shoes/Unicorn+Princess+Heels
erniebuffalo i got those about a month ago in brown and love love love them!
lori – NICE. i would totally wear those to work!
I’m just not into knee-high boots right now, but these little ankle boots? WANT. http://www.zappos.com/dansko-scout-brown-brush-off
I LOVE the first boots. Oh man do I love those. I just bought Sudini’s Sierra, which have a less sleek stitch-like effect in the back, but they are waterproof and supposedly very supportive. I’ll let you know after I wakl around Savannah in them. I have not been paid for this endorsement.

Oh, and Sudini Sierra are on sale for $150!
Two words. Fly London.
The other side of the pond just does shoes better.
Don’t let the high-end desinger names and prices scare you. They can be had! My black, patent leather Sigerson Morrison lace-up booties at under $100 are proof. Bookmark your coveted item and ’stalk’ it.
I would do some pretty nefarious things to obtain a pair of those Pour La Victoire Kerry boots. So wicked.
Love, love high boots. I live in Minnesota and it’s the only way I make it through winter. Bought these about a month ago at Marshalls for half the price listed here:

Also just thrifted a pair of Born calf highs!
I love ALL of those! Unfortunately, I suffer from gargatuan-calf-itis and lack-of-ankle-itis so NO boots fit me, not even the ones made for big girls
As a result, every fall and winter I become very envious of every single woman who gets to bust out their boots for the season.
These. In cranberry. Or maybe slate. While I’m daydreaming of expensive boots, I can pick impractical colors.
Maren, I want Frye boots more than I want my next breath.
Obsessed with these Tory Burch boots but, hello, did Tory NOT hear about the recession? http://www.18weeksofwinter.com/?p=525
Those Sigerson Morrisons are TEH SEX.
cee, would you believe a friend of mine actually ordered those boots online and then returned them because she needed Serious Walking Boots, not heeled ones? Once those go on my feet they are never coming off, not even for showers. Which is why I’m not allowed to try them on.
Oh Jen…that Marshalls find of yours…TO DIE!!! They just look like something I want to curl up with in front of the fireplace. Love them! The looks so soft!!! I can’t believe half the price…I must get back to stalking Marshalls – clearly I am missing out!
Oh, the Sigerson Morrison’s make my heart skip a beat! So do these, which I fantasized about nearly every second of the day for almost a month before giving in to their siren call. I am normally the opposite of a spendthrift, but these beauties convinced me to splurge. You wouldn’t know it to look at them, but they’re comfy too. Worth every penny.

I have been coveting these boots for about 6 months:
http://www.pedshoes.com/fiorentini_and_baker/fiorentini_and_baker.asp?productLineID=1&vendorID=29&productID=140&colorID=1057
I have a deal with myself about when I get to get them, too, based on accomplishing a couple of stretch goals.
If they’re still around by then, of course.
santa got me these (in black!) and i can’t wait to put them on!!!!!!

but if i had a *crazy* budget, i would have asked for these:

I am a big fan of mohop shoes. You can custom design a brand new shoe every time you tie them on.

Some cool Dolce Vita boots I’ve had my eye on… I’ve really liked every DV pair I’ve bought. Very wearable and affordable!

Any of these, but especially Matisse. Or Pop Art. Or Chinese Cowgirl. http://www.hummingfeet.com/shoes_collection.htm

I want to make love to those Elizabeth and James Vegas boots. Is that wrong?
