“The look is buckles with a lot of detail,” say Cara and Cristina Garrison, owners of Forest Bootery. “These shoes are great with leggings, dresses or skirts because they show off the

boot.”

“Sam Edelman is a very high-fashion brand,” the owners say. “These are both shoebs — a blend

of a shoe and a boot — and are

very popular with dresses, skirts

and leggings.”

“Sorel was a leader in pack boots,” the owners say. “And they’re back and better than ever! They’re known for women’s fashion pack boots. With leggings being so

popular, there’s a lot more detail on the top and the outside of boots, so you can tuck pants into boots.”

“This is a fresh new update to the classic short Ugg,”

the owners say. “It has a lot of great detail on the outside.”

“There’s an ’80s revival with boots, as leggings are coming

back in style,” the owners say. “The leather on these shoes is out of Brazil — and it’s wonderful. They’re great boots at a great price.”

The Kathryn Kerrigan Laverne is a tall, gently-over-the-knee boot that is perfect for an afternoon strolling through town or country. The rich brown hue is reminiscent to that of a succulent date with its buttery soft leather, accented by a simple side buckle.

The Kathryn Kerrigan Helen suits your wardrobe yesterday, today and tomorrow! The tall shaft offers a classic Equestrian look, while the traditional

cowgirl boot toe shape exudes a Western

flair. The hand-painted green accent is a total

showstopper.

The Kathryn Kerrigan Eva is a gunmetal gray

patent animal-print leather,

open-toe, lace-up bootie with hints

of purple, dark gray and black. A dark heather gray ribbon tie finishes the look. It also features a 3-inch covered heel with .5-inch platform and leather sole.

Take down the city in the rugged yet feminine Lucille. A luxurious combination of suede and worn-in leather, accented with robust buckles and an all-terrain rubber sole. Available in military green.

The Kathryn Kerrigan Gulia is a timeless boot with country flair that has been loved for decades. The fantastic hard-worked leather shows in the classic lines. This is the perfect fun and versatile boot!
