Instead of heading to the tents today, I went a-stomping around Williamsburg with Ms. S, and of course she not only took me to Brooklyn Industries, but to Shoe Market as well. Dangerous times, friends.
And because I love me some heeled boots, and Karen and I have been going crazy over "old timey girl" lace-up boots lately... I spotted the Kelle boots by Born. They're pretty much perfect -- real leather, up to the calf, zipper up the sides, great heel (since I'm picky about heel shapes), and they're Born, so they're totally comfortable.
The issue is, would I wear them? I don't often wear tights and skirts (I happen to be doing so today, hooray), but if I did have these boots, wouldn't I wear tights and skirts (and thus the boots) more often? I think I might.
Ms. S and I felt this was a bit of a conundrum, which is why I've decided to ask for more opinions. Should I think more solidly about the boots? I do think they're a little high, since they hit me right at the meatiest part of my calf, but they really are cute and comfortable.
So, let's hear the feedback -- what do you think? Yes? No? Spend some more time thinking about 'em?

Eeeee! Super cute! Need some mutton chop sleeves as well!
I die for that flipping Williamsburg Shoe Market--Ms. S was in fact with me when I bought my two-tone grey and black "old-timey girl" Jeffrey Campbell spectator heels there. And they matched my old glasses...le sigh. Love them, love that store, love that whole block in Williamsburg despite its super-hipster-y-ness! Did you see the Fred Flare goodness at that funky Harajuku-y boutique around the corner from Shoe Market?
I can also whole-heartedly recommend Born shoes, they are extra-comfy with good arch support. Just bought a pair of Born heels at Nordstrom Rack, love itttt.
The boots are beautiful and i've actually been lusting after them for a while. Love all my Born shoes.
Question: do the laces really work, or are they just for show, since the boots have side zippers? Can the laces be adjusted at all?
Hi Carol,
Great question! You know, I didn't try to work with the laces -- they were closely fit on my calves already, so they didn't really need to be tightened. I would imagine that they can be adjusted somewhat, but I just went ahead and zipped right up. They are likely more for show than for real use, but I'm sure they can be untied and retied -- they're not solely decorative.
Excellent! Many thanks. i think this definitely tips me into the category of going ahead and ordering these boots online. i've been looking forever for lace-up boots. Glad to hear that the heels are okay, too -- i am usually leery of heels that might be too high.
In the fall and winter, i'm totally a tights-and-skirt girl, so can't wait to own these. Thanks again for the info and recommendation.
I don't know about you but I am going to buy them.
