Top Picks in Designer Boots

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

Designer boots from flats to high heels, and casual to dressy are all present and accounted for in this year's top picks in Designer Boots.

1. Cole Haan 'Air Petra' - Casual Designer Boots

Inspired by streamlined equestrian boots, these casual boots feature a low .75" heel, and shafts of 14.5" tall, making them perfect for casual days, and for pairing with jeans. I'm in love with the pale sand version of these lookers, but the black and brown versions are sure to please as well.

2. Georgina Goodman 'Ruben 1' - Artsy Designer Booties

These designer booties certainly aren't for everyone, but if you like artsy footwear that's a little bit different, then these might just do the trick. The black leather uppers have cut-out swirls that reveal inlaid cream mesh. The result is striking, and that's before you get to the 4.25" cylinder heels, and 1" hidden platform soles.

3. Robert Clergerie 'Viveka' - Designer Dress Boots

Chic, sophisticated, and classic, these knee high boots combine suede uppers with smooth leather toes, and feature very wearable heels of 2.75 inches. Ideal for pairing with skirts or dresses, the cafe color is gorgeous.

4. Tory Burch 'Harper' Booties - Posh Suede Booties

I usually tend to go in for taller boots over booties, but I'd definitely make an exception for these suede lookers from Tory Burch. I'm crazy about the straight, wide 4" heels, and I love the black suede uppers. But my favorite part of these booties is the wide patent straps that hit right at the ankles.

5. Christian Louboutin - Lace Up Designer Boots

As pretty as they are sexy, these Christian Louboutin boots feature 4.75" heels and .75" concealed platform soles. Though it appears that these above-the-ankle boots lace up in front, they actually have a side zipper, and of course, the all-important, signature red leather soles.
