Luxurious Designer Boots from Christine LoPresti

Christine LoPresti was a woman with a vision, and perhaps more importantly, a woman with the determination to see it through.

Not long after I became About.com's Guide to Shoes, I received a letter from a woman who had designed for herself a unique and amazing pair of boots.

She had a bootmaker whip up a prototype, and sent me images, hoping I might have some advice on what to do next. I had little help to give, but fortunately, that didn't stop her.

I recently had the pleasure of viewing Christine's first line, and fans of unique and luxurious boots are in for a treat.
