boots made for walking

fall is our favorite season for footwear, but this year we've been caught up in all the hoopla concerning over-the-knee boots, thigh-highs and distressed bikers: which trends are fleeting and which will stick around? just as we were ready to give up and remain content with our slightly out-of-date boots from a few seasons ago, we came across this lovely little pair from alexander wang. the velvet kim boot (below) is sexy, sophisticated and edgy. favoring the luxe of velvet over the expected leather or suede automatically sets this boot apart, but what we really love about it is the heel. a well-constructed little piece of architecture for your sole, the heel is equally stunning from all angles, and the boot is actually comfortable. with a retail price of $670, it's a step you can afford to take, so come and check it out at poole shop.
