Give Her the Boot

Last Wednesday, Valentine's day, I wrote about women's propensity for noticing the watch on your wrist and the shoes on your feet. I also gave you my opinion on some watches to consider. Now I'm back to let you know what kind of shoes you should sport.

There is a footwear company out of Australia called Blundstone and they make boots that not only make you look good, but also feel pretty good on your feet. They make several different models of boot, including some for kids. The only models I have eyes for are the Original and the Chisel Toe. If you are looking for a more dressy boot, go with the chisel toe (my choice and pictured above) or the original for more casual. You can get either in black or brown.

These are great boots in my opinion but they're not as dressy as they might have you believe. My only beef with them is the stamped Blundstone logo on the rubber heel. This takes away from the boot a bit and makes it less passable as a dress shoe. Whatever, the boot is still versatile which is a big reason why I'm recommending it. Thought they seem expensive at around $170, that's actually really good value. These things are well made and worth the cash.

In Toronto or Vancouver you can try them on in store at the Australian Boot Company (ABC) or any of the other authorized dealers. ABC also sells a few models online.
