A good pair of boots is a fall essential. I’m on the hunt for a new pair of ankle boots, and it feels like I’m on a Grail Quest. But these pairs, with a stacked heel and simple style are as close as I have come.

A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]
It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
I work in a casual office, so I’ve been looking for a lower heel to wear with jeans and have been eyeing these (they’re a bit lighter in color than “saddle” probably suggests) https://www.sperry.com/en/seaport-shackle-leather-boot/39569W.html?dwvar_39569W_color=STS84387#cgid=women-shoes-boots&start=1
I too have been on the lookout for a new pair of booties for an upcoming trip and I’m contenplating these: https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-leather-side-zip-chelsea-boots/id_326528_253?sku_0=::COG They are very similar to black and leopard print pair I bought 2 years ago and have thorougly enjoyed. They are comfortable, warm, and look much more expensive than they are.
Pretty. Love the rich color and lack of embellishment. Makes them versatile.
I really appreciate you adding an option for wide-footed ladies! As a member of the bigfoot community, it seems to me that many so-called “wide” shoes out there are compensating for their brand’s shoes being typically on the narrow side – so that the “wide” version is actually “average” at best. It’s hard to tell from photos though, which can be frustrating. Still, a great addition to this feature! Thanks!
I agree on both counts!
How would you style these? I typically stick to black booties. So…Any help appreciated!
Abra, try these. I have them in black and british tan, best boots I’ve ever bought. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N9V4RSM/ref=twister_B00W5DRUDK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I have the previous version of these in grey and love them. Being waterproof is such a game changer, as I don’t have to worry about wearing them in rain, sleet, etc. Just bought them in cognac and can’t wait for it to get cool enough to wear boots in DC. Available in Medium and Wide widths. Link: https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/blondo-valli-2-0-waterproof-bootie-women-nordstrom-exclusive/5294247
Just want to say thank you for including a wide option!!
