Kelle Boots, the Classic Feminine

October 12th, 2009 | Posted in Born shoes

Elegant ladies who are rather into the classic style of dressing themselves may find Kelle boots from Born extremely attractive for their day-to-day outfits. These high boots aren’t as elegant as to wear them at parties or public events, but they are excellent for casual occasions, if combined with a tulip skirt which may or may not exceed their upper edge.

Young, very modern girls may find these boots a bit outdated, but women in their 40s or 50s will see them as an excellent option for smart casual outfits suitable for cold days of fall and freezing winter days. The heel height is 3 1/4 inches, so beware of those days when ice is all over the place. Black is the only color available. I think that dark brown would have been welcome as well, but it’s really no big deal, as black matches basically any other color.

Noetheless, the Kelle boots are still in stock at Born’s online store, so you can have your pair for $170, which I think is a reasonable price, taking into consideration the high quality of their footwear. If you’re interested, here are a few technical details, so you save some time with your research: the outside heel and the forepart are made of rubber, the boots are in full-grain leather, the shaft height is approx. 10 inches and the shaft circumference is about 13 1/4 inches.

Sizes go from 6M to 11M.

Born Shola: Boots for Jeans

October 11th, 2009 | Posted in Born shoes

October is here and we are already thinking of refreshing our stocks of boots and thick clothes. I’ve just got a new pair of skinny jeans which looks fantastic and I’m currently seeking to buy some new boots and shoes to wear them during the fall season, which is quite rainy and cold here, where I live.

One of my favorite stops when it comes to footwear is Born. Women’s shoes made by them are very appealing to my clothing style and their latest boots series, Shola, are exactly what I was after. They are an excellent choice for both jeans and dress pants, and this fact alone is going to save me some money, as I can wear them in many occasions, be it I’m going to business meetings or to casual encounters with my friends.

Shola boots are available in three color choices: black, Antique Bronze and Dark Brown. The Antique Bronze ones are made of metallic leather, while the other two are full-grain leather. The rubber forepart and outside heel give durability to these boots, so I’m positive I’m going to wear them for more than one year, if they don’t go out of fashion. The leawood wrapped heels give a special elegance to the boot, but I’d probably have to be careful where I step, in order not to destroy that wrapper.

Shola boots’ heels are 3 1/4 inches high, with a shaft height of 3 3/4 inches and the shaft circumference of 9 1/4 inches. If you’re not used to wear high heels, you might have troubles in walking in the beginning, However, the heels are solid enough for a good stability, even when you’re running.

Priced at $150 on the Born shoes official website, Shola boots can be bought directly from there. Available sizes: 6M – 11M
