Yes, more boots. The hunt is on!
This is Vol. 2 of my freak out over boots that I’m having. See, other than looking for snow boots, my other big obsession has been finding a pair of lace-up boots. I’ve been on the fence between finding a pair of “granny boots” or a pair of combat boots. My main objective is that they lace-up. I posted a pair of boots on my Twitter to see what others thought of the particular pair, and a honest and caring friend told me to my face that they looked “wrestler chic” (thank you!), so we are back to square one. Here are a few choices for boots that I’m thinking of:
Loving these LD Tuttle boots from Oak NYC. Not loving? The price tag at $889 is too rich for my blood right about now.
I also like these Jeffrey Campbell “Acme” boots, but I’m really not 100% sure about them:

And I REALLY like these boots from Modcloth. However, they wouldn’t work out in terms of practicality.
Now, can I show you the boots I found and thought were winners and I mean, they pretty much hit the mark on everything I was looking for and the price is right? They are here:
However, I had concerns about buying these from Ebay and the ever fabulous and kick ass Wendy Brandes was nice enough to look the shoes and agreed that I should look for some other options for something quite similar to this shoe since I’m really in love with them. I’m looking for alternatives that will be kind to my pockets (I’m not supposed to be shopping for myself unless it’s for winter boots!) and have the same aesthetic as the boots above.
So I am asking you, dear reader: do you know of a similar shoe? Think I should say “Eff it” and go with one of the above options?
And yes, I know, I still have got to do better










I'm keeping my eyes peeled!
Thank you Wendy, B! I think I may have found the boots I'm looking for, but still searching for that "perfect pair"! Agh, I just torture myself!

Thank you Marian!
Don't be scared to buy from ebay! I used to be, but now I'm an ebay addict. You can find the best things there, and I really like the boots you found on ebay! All you have to do is check the sellers feedback – if they're 100% (or really close to it), you should be fine!
Thanks Ashley! I've been kind of apprehensive after I once got taken for a very fake "Dior" bag with my Christmas money
And thank you, I really like the boots, too! I'm going to keep an eye on them and keep an eye out for what else I might find.
i really like the ebay boots. have you bought them yet? sorry, i'm not much help with finding a similar pair. i think looking for a good pair of boots is very, very difficult as you should never settle for second best… good luck with the hunt, x
Thank you! I haven't bought the Ebay boots yet, but I'm really thinking about it. For some reason, a good pair is really hard to find, I don't know why! Thanks for the well wishes!
These looked so hot on your feet!
