Most Expensive Boots of This Time.


So, those riding boots reviewed in the last post got us thinking about expensive shoes and wondering which were the most expensive of all. It turns out that Forbes ran an article on this, less than one year ago, where they revealed that these alligator boots by Manolo Blahnik were likely some of the most expensive with which to coif your legs. While there are also several other fascinating pairs of shoes at 4000 or even 8000 dollars, these Manolo Blahniks will lighten your pockets by a smooth 14,000 dollars. Come on, you know that money is just burning holes in your pockets... ;-) And the alligator (or cow actually) is dying for you to wear these too...

So you won the lotto and don't know what to do with your money?


I saw a lovely pair of riding boots on Amazon the other day. But they were...affordable. These are not so much and I must say, while they are very stylish, that I don't know for the world why one should pay nearly a grand for these boots. That's right, these are the most expensive boots you can buy right now at Zappos.com. These Taryn Rose Quincies will run you $998.95.

Good Things Do Come to Those Who Wait!


Nearly one year ago, we reviewed the sweater wedge boots from Delias, here at Boots Mania. At that time, they were on sale for 63 bucks. Today, you can enjoy these warm and fashionable over-the-knee boots for just $39.99. Moral: Take advantage of clearance deals. Because stores need to keep their inventories fresh...and so do we.

I'm flying high!


Is it wrong to buy a pair of boots if you don't love them unquestioningly? Well the department of boot services hasn't dropped by yet and I do promise to treat these babies lovingly nevertheless. But I really wanted these hot aviator boots in edgy biker chick black, like the they were meant to be, and will have to settle for a mature brown. Delias sold out of the black and anyhow, I got these on clearance so it isn't right to complain I'm sure.

So What Are You Wearing Down Under?



Sydney Boots are those moccasin type hotties that hug your legs all the way up to the knees and cost a pretty penny when you go hunting in the wrong quarters. It's all about searching for that hot deal that makes the difference between getting one pair out of your boots allowance this month or getting two, maybe even three. Can you tell the difference between the Minnetonka Moccasins from Amazon for $57.97 and the Sydney boots from Delias for $19.99? Neither can "eye." So while both are affordable, I can't wait for my three pairs of boots from Delias to ship. More on those in the next posts.
