During these cold winter months, it’s important to be prepared for the weather. One of the most vital of frozen tundra essentials, besides a ridiculously heavy winter jacket, is a nice set of boots. Boots are great in the colder months because not only are your feet protected from the chilly air, but your legs are also warm and cozy. What’s even better is that you can wear knee-high boots in the transitional months before and after the winter solstice to get the most out of your warm weather wardrobe. The big issue here is that most boots don’t fit everyone’s legs the same. Most of the time, the boot is either too big so it gaps out, or it’s too small and your legs look like they’re being squeezed into an itty bitty sausage casing. So not cute. But how are you supposed to get the perfect fit without having to order a pair of insanely expensive custom made footwear?
With the Argentine inspired Women’s Wrap Boot (Amazon, $120.00 medium brown; $96.95 olive), you’re not sacrificing style for substance. More importantly, you’re not paying a preposterous amount of money for the same old generic pair of boots that everyone and their mother is sporting this season. What makes these boots so special? They’re made of canvas upper that emulates the polo leg wraps for horses, which means that they stretch to conform to your legs. Also, they have multiple Velcro fasteners, so you can control the height of the boot as well as the tension. So say you want to wear these boots knee-high today because it’s pretty windy out, all you have to do is wrap the material around your leg and fasten it where you see fit. Or maybe the weather is a little warmer and you want to go for a trendy ankle style – just wrap the material around your ankle a few times and secure it. The bottom of the boot is sturdy, yet flexible, so it still offers ample foot support much like a regular pair of boots. While these boots might seem a little expensive, you’re basically getting multiple pairs of comfortable and unique boots for the price of one.
You’ve got to admit, these boots are pretty cool. So what if you look a bit like a horse? A lot of those polo horses are champions, you know. And you never hear them complaining about their footwear, so they’ve got to be onto something, right?
