Everything You Need to Know about Boots

Monday September 15, 2008

As we head into the heart of boot season, I know there are a lot of questions that need answering.

Maybe you're wondering if those boots you saw on that web site will fit around your calves? Are they really knee-highs, or are they more like calf-highs? And what exactly is the shaft of a boot?

These and several other pressing topics are addressed in this handy little guide to Boots, complete with definitions of some of the most common boot terms, and measuring tips to help you find the exact type of boots you're looking for.

Thanks Desiree for a very informative post on selecting Boots. I been observing that you are focusing on Boots. And this seems that your blog is about boots rather than about shoes..lol..

I hope you’ll be adding posts about discount designer shoes and other ladies footwear. Which could also be a good choice this winter.

Thanks

Hi Jay,

My pleasure.

Yes, there is a lot of boot-related content this time of year, and with winter coming, there’ll be even more. But if you’re only seeing my boot articles, then you’re missing half of the fun — I don’t write a blog post about every new article I write.

If you look at the left column of the Shoes home page, you’ll see directories filled with articles about every kind of footwear imaginable, and the tabs at the top of the page will take you to loads of articles about shoes — discount, designer, and everything in between.

I’ve also got a Fall Shoes Guide for your viewing pleasure as well.

Best,
Desiree
