The Look for Less: Knee High Boots

I‘ve never featured grown-up clothing here. But this was just too fun not to post.

For about a year now, I’ve been coveting these knee high boots by Stuart Weitzman:

Stuart Weitzman – 50/50 (Black Nappa) – Footwear

They are GORGEOUS – AND, AND, AND! They are leather up the front and stretchy down the entire back of the boot. Which? Is perfect for girls with ample calves. Like me.

Here’s the catch: $595. Ouch. No boots for me. Or so I thought.

Enter a shoe-savvy friend who looked at the Weitzman boots and said, “Oh, there’s a reeeeeally good knock-off of that boot.” And she told me exactly where to find it.

It’s by Vaneli:

Vaneli – Rankin (Black Nappa w/Black Stretch) – Footwear

And it’s $202. Still pricey, for sure – but not 600 bucks! Anyway, I bought these. And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them. They go on easily (not a normal feat for me) and are so comfortable. I wear them constantly – and get lots of compliments. I highly recommend them.

Zappos has a few other very similar options you might want to take a look at as well:

• MICHAEL Michael Kors – Bromley Flat Boot (Black Nappa Leather / Stretch Nylon) – Footwear – $198




• ALDO – Recinos (Black Leather) – Footwear – on sale for $112 now
