My Latest Pair: Suede Shearling Platform Boots


Yes, there is such a thing as unattractive boots. But these are not it. These are soft; have a natural coloration likely to go with several items in your wardrobe; and they have that sexy shearling tease in the back and a shearling cuff. They are lace-ups and laces are wonderful and quite hot themselves (one imagines someone bending over to do their boot laces). Even better for those of us who aim to be conscientious/compassionate shoppers, while the boots are genuine suede (the poor pigs), the shearling is faux. Also, it is a platform shoe which makes it more practical for regular daytime wear and yet gives you that lift you need and want. Note that Gap doesn't say how high the heel is but stay tuned and I'll do a little investigative reporting (measuring tape!) and let you know. Finally, if you are looking for an affordable boot that will bring you from work to wild evening, this is a winner. Retails at Gap for only $78.

This review refers to the Camel colored pair. The reviewer winced when she saw the buffalo brown alternative whose heel is not dyed to match the shaft.
