I've been working on building a wardrobe comprised of "classics" -- those timeless pieces that live through season and trend and carry on strong for a few years at a time {and through countless body morphings}
One basic I've been missing?
Black shoes.
My former black shoes bit the dust this past spring, and I've been in black shoe limbo ever since.
In contemplating a shoe to review from my favorite shoe company ever, Hotter Comfort Concept, I consulted my personal stylists, Melissa and Brook, from the Mom Style Files. Brook was gentle with me, and gave me a nudge in the right direction, and Melissa flat-out said I had to have a pair of black shoes and a pair of heels.
So I put together those two "suggestions," and I landed on the black Cheshire boot from the fall collection after a brief rendezvous with the Winter Boots, which didn't actually fit my feet but were painlessly and easily exchanged for the new boots.
And I'm so glad I did! When I slipped them onto my feet, they were everything I've come to expect from Hotter -- both comfortable and chic. The perfect combination -- so perfect it's hard to separate one aspect from another.
I love how the heals are high enough to give good lift, but not so high that I feel like I might take a tumble. Also, I'm so glad these boots stretch far up the calf.
Other features worth mentioning?
-I can put these babies on and wear them with no breaking-in period required.
-The material is extremely high quality, made of leather
-The inside of the boots in soft and stylish material.
-The width in the calves is forgiving and flexes easily between wearing thick wool socks and thin leggings.
