Riding boots are the one staple in my wardrobe every winter. When you find the perfect pair it’s hard not to wear them every day. Making the commitment to actually purchasing said boots might put a dent in your bank account. The craftsmanship of a good riding book can get pricey, but I promise that you will get your moneys worth.
The boots shown above are actually made by Lucky Brand. I was working as a shoe buyer at Dillard’s when one of my co-workers found this fabulous boot on sale. After employee discount and the sale, I believe they were under $50. I’ve had them for about 5 years! Last winter I took them to a local shoe cobbler to have the heels repaired and voila they’re like new!
Now would be the time to score a designer pair of boots on sale. If you’re looking to make them last, make sure to look for a classic boot, so that the details don’t go out of style next season. Flat boots with a rounded square toe and a boot shaft just below the knee are very classic characteristics of a riding boot. For me, I wear more black than brown and I loved the look of a worn boot. I also wear more gold than silver, but it can be tricky with the gold buckles to match everything. The thick buckles/straps are starting to age themselves, so I might be in the market for another riding boot next year. Perhaps I’ll try tan!
Other items shown are: a denim top from Anthropologie, black ankle Joe’s Jeans, and a gold LOVE necklace by Gorgjana.
