If I had a pistol, or rather, a pair of pistols, I think the eternal hunt for the perfect black boot just might end. And if I was sure of it, I think I might actually plop down the money. Only question would be: black sole or exposed wood sole?
Do you have the perfect black boot? Are you still hunting?
Good God these are amazing. And the answer is no, I don't. Need to find a pair stat.
ReplyDeleteI have the perfect black boot! It's from Camper, and I got it last spring. This exact style, but with laces and the heels are rubber and super comfortable. I think Anthro is selling a similar shoe (though not camper) in suede with natural rubber soles. I love my boots and I love the way they make my legs look. I've been having trouble finding shoes with proper soles lately--all leather, pure rubber, or wooden. So many nice shoes look like they have such soles and then I buy them and discover they are cheap plastic, wrapped with leather (note: watch out for Modern Vintage, they do this!), right after twisting my ankle. I'm sticking to Frye and Camper just to be safe.
ReplyDeleteCamper is so comfortable! But the styles never really call out to me much. Frye, on the other hand, makes shoes that practically scream at me to buy them, but they're all cut a bit narrow in the toe box for me. How nice to have found your dream boot! Hope your ankle's all healed up!
DeleteI do have a pair, which I bought three year years ago... or maybe four - when ever they first came out. And they are still going strong. Just the odd trip to get reheeled - so a great investment and definately the black sole... more subtle so more enduring.
ReplyDeleteOooh, a first person endorsement! Now I want them even more. I do wonder if the heel is a teeny bit high for my walk-everywhere life though... But they are gorgeous, and yes, I think I'd go with black on black for sure.
Deletedefinitely black on black! i actually i bought black ones with the wood heel awhile ago but returned them because the contrast zipper bothered me so much. i ended up just going with rachel comey mars boots, which i thought were more my style.... but every time i see someone wearing the pistols i kind of want them again!
