Boot Season!

It’s officially fall.  It’s October.  It’s… boot season!!!  Tall boots, short boots, all boots under the sun: it’s your season to shine. 

Problem: boots can be pricy.  They regularly cost $200 or more, and that’s not even luxury brands.  With an eye on your wallets, I give you a selection of boots all under $50.  At that price, you could get them all and be ready for the entire season!

Let’s start with a classic:

The Reina Riding Boot by Dexflex Comfort is a lovely classic silhouette, with just a touch of metal around the ankle.  The heel is one inch tall, and there’s a zipper on the inside and a stretch panel in the back for some give.  Oh, and there’s a memory-foam insole, people—memory foam!  Ugh, I want my feet in these rightnow.  (And PS, available in wide calf sizes too!  Yay!)  Available in this dark brown or black; your choice on sale for $50 from Payless.

The Fennel by Jellypop is a little more involved with buckles and straps—but it’s that split of fabric down by the outer ankle that just sells me on these.  I love that.  I have no words for how much I love that little split of fabric.  The heel is two inches high, and the shaft and circumference are both just over 14 inches.  Also available in black in addition to this taupe, but I just don’t like the black as much.  Find them at 6pm for $40.

Booties too, don’t forget!  The Breanne by Kelly & Katie is a quilted faux leather bootie with almond cap toe, zipper up the front, and three-inch heel.  It’s the quilting on this that makes it feel like fall to me—like I should be wrapped in a lovingly-made blanket in a cozy chair in front of a fire with a book and a mug of pumpkin tea.  (It’s not too early for that yet, is it?)  Yours for $50 from DSW.

I love a black and brown riding boot, and the Ralph by Nature Breeze delivers.  Plus it’s an over-the-knee boot for a little va va voom!  It’s got a 1.25 inch heel, buckle detail at the ankle, and a zipper halfway up the inside to assist you in getting in.  Find them at Overstock for $47.

Beauty and brains bring both boots and big bucks!  (Ha ha, I got started with like two Bs there and couldn’t stop myself.)  But really: with these inexpensive boots you can have it all this fall.
