These Boots Are Made for Walkin'

Shoeistas,

After my Jessica Simpson post, I couldn't get her version of These Boots Are Made for Walkin' out of my head. I eventually broke down and watched The Dukes of Hazzard remake last night. Yep, it was one of those cool, fall nights where you open all the windows to your house, snuggle on the couch (preferably with a fabulous fall treat like apple cider) and watch movies. It put me in such a cowboy mood that I thought a Western-inspired post was perfect!

Some of you rock the cowboy boots with pride, while others feel more comfortable with a more subtle Western boot. Well, I have the perfect mix of boots to fit all of my Shoeista's personalities.

The JURY is a short, western-inspired boot that features a slouchy, leatherette upper, pull-up tabs for easy on/off, padded cushion insole with rubber traction sole and a thick, stacked 2 1/2" heel. 6 1/2" shaft height: 6 1/2". $29.99.


Complete your boho chic look with the LODE pull-up, western-inspired cowgirl boots by Soda! The LODE features a ruched shaft with a flared top, stitching accents, stacked low 2" heel, round toe with a manmade upper and sole. $34.99.


WANTED: A cute, western-style, slouch ankle boot that is edgy with a studded band and chain harness. Introducing the AUSTIN boot from Wanted. This great boot also features raw stitch detail on the vamp, easy pull-on style, oval shaped toe and a 1 1/2" heel. This boot is 7 3/4" tall with a 13" shaft opening and a 13" calf circumference. The AUSTIN comes in both Black and Brown. $49.99.


Be confident in the SANGUINE western-inspired boot from Madden Girl. The SANGUINE is both fun and fashionable and goes great with any outfit. It features a synthetic upper with cowboy inspired stitching, fabric lining, pull on style, 11" shaft height, 13" calf circumference and a 1½" western heel that gives you a comfortable height. The SANGUINE comes in Black and Brown. $59.99.


Another great western-inspired boot from Wanted. The DAKOTA is a 13 3/4" tall, knee high boot with a decorative outside zipper, O-ring harness detail and a 2 1/4" cowboy heel. The DAKOTA has a 14" shaft opening and a 14" calf circumference. $59.99.


Get ready for some raucous fun this season in the Western-inspired SASHA short boot by B.O.C. The SASHA features a leather upper with dual elastic gores for a comfortable fit, the harness strap with silver, metal rings are a great detail across the instep, cushioned insole, a stacked 2 1/2" heel with a rubber, rugged outsole. $69.99.


Remember Shoeistas, any boot over $59.99 is Free Shipping (or you could just buy 2 fabulous lower priced boots to equal $59.99, the free shipping price).

Jessica Simpson

Shoeistas,

Today's topic for discussion is merchandise queen Jessica Simpson. She went from rejected Mickey Mouse clubette to singer to newlywed to actress and now merchandise Empress. Some love her, some hate her and some just don't really care. Well, I love her. Although, she wasn't as influential in the music scene as Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera, I still grew up with her music and now her fabulous shoes. Just like other shoe designers, there are always shoes you "need" (*cough-want really, really badly-cough*) and others that are just plain disgusting. Well, today I have shoes from Jessica "shoe queen" Simpson that are completely lust-worthy. And the best news...FREE SHIPPING with all shoes featured. Free Shipping on absolutely, fabulous shoes?
