Even though winter is finally gone and the heat of summer is already making us sweat, we are having a hard time tucking our boots into the back of the closet and digging out sandals for summer. This past year’s fashion brought some of the most rockin’ boots we’ve seen by combining the best of past trends and offering up all kinds of new personal touches while still being comfortable (or so sexy that comfort became a non-issue).
From classy equestrian to original Docs and designer couture to hardcore Harley, here are some favorite combat, biker and designer boots that make us wish it was winter all year long. Besides, we think the militant-rocker, boots-with-shorts look is going to be hot this summer (at least we hope that's what we will be ogling on the ladies who walk past while we sip martinis at the Abbey), and we just want to keep you prepared.
