The cost of Boots!!!

October 29th, 2008 by Peta | No Comments | Filed in All about Shoes, The Cost of Boots

I am filled with wonder at the amazing range of boots on sale this year even more so at the price ranges: net-a-porter for instance, with boots starting at the £400.00!!! Granted they are designer boots but they will still only have a certain life expectancy as everything goes out of fashion so quickly. It is also interesting to note that the sizes never go above a 41-42 or size 8 in UK terms. The large size boots featured on this site are all at the £100.00 mark with my  gorqeous Black Leather Riding Boots at  only £65.00…. and all in large sizes too

I remember about 29 years ago buying a pair of beautiful brown leather boots knee high with a suede cuff. They were the only ones in the shop that fitted ..just  and they were £120.00!!!!!  On being asked the usual question husbands ask, “HOW MUCH” I replied £60.00 …… EACH!!  I don’t think he ever really knew what I meant. Still they went the same way as all boots do as soon as they went out of fashion.I am sure the riding boots will more than hold their own for a few years to come.
