Boots Season is On

I am one of those who rave about the cold season. I don't know if it's a disease but I enjoy the cold weather, the winter fashion, and the serene vibe of the cold months. Not that I have a cold heart or something. I just enjoy dressing up warmly in good ol' winter fashion, wearing some nice boots and strutting my fashionable self down the lane.

Here are some of the basic boots in-style for the cold season that is to come. Do you own one of them or all of them? I must admit, I have some of them!

Sofft Barbourne Leather Boots Review

** This post was taken from my beauty blog which I have closed few months ago. Reposting...

I featured my warm boots few weeks ago before I did a "road test" in NYC's winter scene last Feb. 7-10. I think I also said in that post that I would give a feedback about the Sofft Barbourne leather boots once I try the boots in the real winter scene.

I can happily say that it lived up to my expectation. Below are my findings:

• It kept my legs warm (up to where the boots were).
• It may look very imposing and bulky but it's light to wear.
• It is very comfortable and I am amazed how soft the interior leather lining is.
• It looks so nice!

I can say that my purchase is really worth it. It really can stand the harsh cold.

Cozy Shoes

Having a wide and flat feet is quite troublesome for me. I love to walk around on flat shoes but cannot last for few hours because my feet ache so bad. I tried using ballet shoes and they ached more. I tried using the ubiquitous gel shoes and somehow they worked. However, it will not be possible for me to wear those comfortable gel shoes due to the cold weather condition. I will definitely not only have sore feet; I will probably even have cold feet! That is not good for my flat feet. Neither do I want to have frostbite! I am sure that will certainly hurt my feet.

I have several boots, high-heeled and flat ones, to complement the seasonal changes here in Dubai. My boots are not meant for snow though if I decide to go to a snowy place. So, I checked around and found this rather cozy-looking shoes called ugg. My nieces in the US have several pairs of them and showed me how comfortable they were and suggested I too should get a pair. Actually, not just a pair but several that will go with my lifestyle and the kind of weather here in the Middle East. The shoes may look big but they are warm, comfortable, soft and even light to wear.

I will probably check out the ugg boots in the US on our next visit soon. I hope to be able to strike a good deal on the ugg boots sale in the stores and buy a pair for my daughter as well.

Girls Talk - Shoes

I am not a big collector of shoes but I do have some which I bought many moons ago and they are still in tip-top shape. When it comes to shoes, I do buy mostly leather because of its durability as I walk with a shuffle. Hard to explain!

These 3 are my favorite shoes to wear in the office. The boots is worn only during the cooler climate here so it is in good condition. The other 2 are my fave high-heeled shoes. I love wearing high-heels because I am short ;)
