This shouldn't actually be surprising that's what fake leather is actually they are made of! And the non-porous material will not only make your feet & legs sweat buckets, but the plasticky looking material will cheapen your entire look. Non-leather pumps & ankle boots can get away with less than stellar faux looks, because they don't use that much of it. Faux leather, more often than not, will look like obvious plastic. If you're on a very tight budget, I'd recommend steering clear from nappa leather-looking boots. If you're a common shoe size like myself, though, you'd better get there before they're all sold out! This way you can get the look of a high end OTK boot, all while paying a tidy lower price for it. Think that's expensive? Well, let's not even get into the cost of a luxury OTK boot! Lucky for us, it's sale season (with boxing day fast approaching) & those mid-range 200-350 boots will be (hopefully!) grandly discounted. Such as Stuart Weitzman's leather “Highland” for instance. Their mid-range $250 US ($325 CAN) cost is a heck of a lot less pricey than their designer counterparts. Now these boots aren't “cheap” by any means. This not only allows for some give when walking and to accommodate different calf widths, but it also lowers the cost of the boot. They have real leather uppers at the front, yet the side/back portion is essentially a large elastic. My Nine West over the knee boots, shown here, are a great example. Well, my advice if you're opting for a leather thigh high look, is to scan mid-level brands that use actual leather where it counts the most (sorry vegans!). Not that there's anything wrong with dollar stores (I'm a frequent patron myself, actually!), but I'm sure we can all agree that quality products the loonie stores do not sell. Go wallet friendly & you'll likely end up with boots that might as well have been bought at the dollar store.
Splurge & they'll likely look dated by Fall 2017. So essentially we're stuck in a bit of a catch-22 with this one. No matter how ‘haute' the rest of your outfit may be. Translation: they'll look like Guaranteed. 99.9% of the time this means that when opting for a seriously budget-friendly high boot, it'll be made of a low quality faux material. These boots use up a heck of a lot of material.And when trends are as prominent as a mid thigh high boot, they tend not to last very long. I mean, it's not your black ankle that'll continuously appears fresh each season. As this footwear trend is a little extreme & rather unsubtle, it'll likely be a fleeting one.Should you splurge or should you save on this particular boot trend? Well, this one's a bit tricky. There are a slew of OTK boots on the market & everyone from Fendi to Forever 21 has concocted their version. Stone ring: Winners c/o Dixie Outlet Mall.
