Not Bottega Veneta but.....

I wanted a nice pair of boots that could be worn to work and still look professional with more of a riding look than pirate or elf.



My heart was set on the fantastic Bottega Veneta riding boots Gwyneth Paltrow gets to wear as a part of her "uniform"[...] but paying $1100 was just...fantasyland.



So these little boots are the stand-in and they try hard. Not the best leather true. Wipe them down with some KIWI Express Shine and the leather looks a bit more expensive.



Excellent fit and comfort though. I wear them without socks and they're so comfy I wish I could wear them everyday. (Note to self: buy more dresses for these boots so I can wear them everyday). No ugly zipper either.



Probably the best feature besides comfort is the height. These boots reach nearly to the knee instead of stopping mid-calf like so many others and making the leg look stumpy. These are much more flattering and lengthen the silhouette.



I do wish they came in a heavier leather (they'd be absolutely perfect then) but for 100 bucks they work and quite nicely at that.More detail ...
