So now that it is officially winter in most states and the snow has come down in feet rather than inches, it is time to pull out the old boots again. Like the ones in this picture for instance, these boots are Japanese and they are by far some of the coolest looking boots in the world. On the bottom they feature what looks like a horse shoe (which is kind of … strange) and it looks like they are wedge boots instead of heels, which makes them way safer to walk in, in the wintertime.
While these are not the most stylish shoes that I have blogged about, they are by far some of the most interesting shoes. Now, these shoes were designed for women (who would’ve guessed!) and are completely waterproof, breathable and have fabulous traction and a great rubber sole. Enough about all the fancy features that this shoe has, the reason I am blogging about it is far more interesting. I have come to a realization that all I have blogged about are shoes that business women wear and some other ‘classic’ shoes – I have not once mentioned anything about shoes/boots that actually do things!
Do you remember the sixties? Heck, even the seventies? Well, I was not born then, but I can see that the platform boot is making a come back for the winter season – with camel fur on it and in three different colors! Now, these platform boots are not the pleather like they used to be; now they are actual leather that is worn or even suede which makes things worse!
So I was doing some research for this blog and I ran across a website that shows all the most popular shoes/boots in the UK. Well, I came across a pair of boots that I thought everyone would get a kick out of, ADIDAS (no, not the Korn song!) came out with some ‘fashionable’ boots that are apparently, extremely popular in the UK! These boots come up about mid-calf, have a touch and close fastening system and are made of leather.
Some of the greatest boots in the world are just models of boots that are older and honestly – that is what these remind me of. Do you remember that fairy tale about the old woman who lived in the boot? Well, I do not remember the entire thing, but seriously, these cute boots remind me of her house! They are brown, leather, lace up, rubber soled and all around the absolute perfect winter boot!
When it comes time for the snow to fall and the water to turn into ice, it is time to not only bring out the boots, it is time to bring out the boots that are good to beat those wintertime blues. Now, even though you may be tempted to wear a high heel in the winter, you need to be careful as these heels are not all that great for the ice and it is easier for you to fall. If you absolutely have to have a heel (which honestly? I have to have a heel) then a thicker and more durable heel will probably suit you better.

So even though I have already done a blog about booties, I have not done one about Oxford booties specifically and the truth is, these booties are extremely in fashion and look absolutely fantastic! Now for those of you that do not know exactly what an oxford bootie would look like, it is outlined in the picture above and basically – it has a very distinct look. The small ruffles along the sides, the white middle with black laces, the black toe and heel – these are all traits of the oxford type.
It is pretty obvious that Kelly is never going anywhere, she has an outstanding voice, great fashion and is the new Candies brand boots girl! Currently, in this picture she is sporting some of the freakin’ coolest and greatest boots in the world! The Candies brand has taken the plain, white, pleather boot and changed it into something extremely cool and very romantic!
Now, this has to be said: the old-school Doc Martins are freaking amazing! Seriously … do you remember the nineties? We all know that you owned a pair and when you ‘grew up’ you stashed those metallic purple boots in the back of your closet. Well, it is time to drag them out, because England is not the only place that Doc Martins are popular anymore, these boots are popping up everywhere! From the red carpet all the way to the street, Doc Martins are absolutely the greatest and most indestructible boots on the market today.
One of the most popular yet forgotten boot is the fringe boot, also called a moccasin! These boots are absolutely fabulous in all different types of weather, especially the fall weather. The great thing about these boots is you can purchase them with or without a heel and keep it casual or frill it up a bit. As you can see in the picture above, these are the all-frilled-out fringe boots that look great paired with jeans all the way up to your favorite LBD (little black dress)!
