I've desperately needed a new pair of tan or light brown riding boots since last fall. I wear my riding boots almost everyday in the winter, and mine are WORN OUT. Last year, I must have missed the window for ordering because when I started looking they were sold out everywhere. I was determined that this year would be different, so I've begun to browse online, but it seems like a lot of places don't have their stock available yet. I have found a few pairs I like & I'm wondering if any of you have these boots or know about them.
First is the Engineered Boot from American Eagle for $79.95
The Kasia from Merona at Target for $69.99
I really like that these look a lot like Frye boots that are out of my price range, but doesn't $70 seem awfully high for faux leather from Target?
The Manette from Merona at Target for $39.99
Right now these are showing sold out on Target's site, but it looks like they were last available in 2011 so maybe they'll repost them soon? Hopefully?
Now that you know the look I'm going for, have you seen any great, affordable riding boots around? Do you think the tall boots over leggings/jeans trend is going to last long enough for me to invest in a pricier pair of boots? Because, really, I'd give my left arm* for these beauties---
The Amelia Logo from Frye for $348
*I wouldn't really sacrifice my left arm for a pair of boots. I'm much less superficial than that. ;)
I've bought a couple of pairs of shoes from American Eagle and they've been poor quality. It's a shame because they have very cute shoes! Just thought you might want to know before you purchase! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteDon't waste money on cheap boots. I have the Frye boots and they are well worth it.
ReplyDeleteI own 3 pairs of the Amelia Logo as I wear them a lot when I am in Maine.
They look smart and you can wear them with skirts during the fall.
$350 is not a lot for something that will last you a couple of years.
Have fun boot shopping!!.
