Gabriella Rocha Luce

It's winter cold out here and therefore it's easy to hide under a coat and forget about fashion. But we at Bootsmania know that it's possible to look good and be warm at the same time. Lets start with the feet. Adorn those in something beautiful like these Gabriella Rocha Luces.

Holy Smokes, Are They Real?!

The title of this post was basically our reaction upon viewing the Luichiny Women's Riley Sandals on Endless.com. They are thong sandals that look like boots! Who would have thunk you could have all the benefits of boots and sandals at the same time. You can show off your pedicure, let your feet feel the breeze, and enjoy the look of a well- heeled boot. :-) Endless seems to have exhausted their inventory of sandals but the combination of low prices, fashionable styles, and free Overnight Shipping (yikes!) was bound to do that to them eventually. I bought a pair of sandals (Adidas) earlier in the season before the rush to buy sandals had really begun and received my pair the very next day looking exactly as they appeared on the website. I even considered buying another color! BTW, you can buy these on Zappos as well.

Walking in Style

Many of us are on a tighter budget these days with the bevy of economic woes facing us. Perhaps you have thought you might have to surrender your disposable income, once spent on boots, to feeding your car...but what if you could be healthier, save on gas, and look fashionable all at once? Here we have found a number of boots that truly are made for walking. We could park our car a little farther away or take the efficient public transportation in our city and walk to work in comfort all the while enjoying the attention of admiring strangers.

Those were from Overstock.com and may be gone by the time you read this but check out their other offerings too. And these next boots are cool in two ways...
These next ones are sturdy, waterproof, comfortable, and look pretty slick too. Pair 'em with long trousers or jeans and a sexy top/blouse.

Boots in the Summer?!

Back in the winter when we had to stop posting, one reader asked where to find a sweater wedge boot. These are available from many retailers but we would suggest that you search for sweater boots and many of these will be wedge boots whether they say so or not. To start your search, you might try these sweater wedge boots from Zappo. They're cute and have a classic feel of boots that will remain in style for many seasons yet.

I don't know about you but it's hot where we are....summer hot. As in, my tanktop was sticking to my back this afternoon. So can you wear boots in the summer? Sure. We suggest you stick with ankle boots or any boots that really know how to breathe. Try a pair of these supercute boots:


It all depends how hot it is where you are. Maybe you can get away with these last two pairs which aren't exactly cool....or maybe you like something more along the lines of the first pair shown above which with their mesh material will keep your feet very happy in hot weather. Just remember not to write off boots altogether just because it's summer. On the other hand, don't get us wrong. We love sandals and our next post might have to be about this fabulous footwear. :-)

Stay cool,
