The FitFlop Shakoha: It Shapes, It Tones, And It Was Designed By Anna Sui

fitflop clog

Let’s face it, sometimes you just can’t be bothered with getting to the gym, especially during this busy time of year. Enter the FitFlop, the shoe that actually gives you a workout while you walk, or better yet, while you shop. Th FitFlop works its magic by being biomechanically (I know, we’re not sure how a shoe could be biomechanically anything, but read on) engineered to improve your posture and muscle tone while you wear it. Sounds like an easy enough way to get in shape for the holidays.

fitflop anna sui

For a stylish workout, we like FitFlop’s Anna Sui-designed Shakoha ankle boot with shearling lining and trendy studding. Sui may have redeemed herself for that slightly weird Gossip Girl-inspired Target collection with this cute collaboration.

If you like these, you may also like what you see in our guides to the best in UGG boots and booties.

Avoid Winter Footwear Doldrums With Franco Sarto Boots

There’s nothing I dislike more than feeling forced, by cold weather, to wear the same boots over and over again until I’m sick of them.  Thus I’ve lately turned to Franco Sarto boots, of which there are a wide variety, and though reasonably priced to begin with, some of my favorites are already on sale – so I can stock up on more than one style and avert winter fashion boredom.

Franco Sarto’s lace up riding boots ($100 from $199) look put together in a neat, dapper way.  And I love the Franco Sarto track riding boot ($127 from $190) because it hits the right note of casual chic, good for everyday wear.  It comes in tan and black, too.

franco sarto moto bootfranco sarto artist collection reality boot

The motorcycle-chic look is everywhere, so why not get a deal on it?  Franco Sarto’s moto boots get the style right, and are marked down to $110 from $169.  Of course, if the look’s just too tough for you, Franco Sarto’s still got you covered – we love his sleek reality boot, which is fashionable without being overly trendy.

In case you’ve still got cold-weather footwear needs to fill, we’ve got you covered.  Shop our guides to over the knee boots, boots for wide calves, and ankle boots and booties to get every height and fit.

We’ve Heard Of Model/Actress, But Celebrity/Pirate Is A New One

celebrities wear vivienne westwood pirate bootsvivienne westwood pirate boots

Fun trend alert: Elle UK brought us these snaps of Sienna Miller, model Agyness Deyn, and Kate Moss all breaking out their Vivienne Westwood buckled pirate boots the moment it got chilly.

dv by dolce vita buckle kent ankle bootmia outlaw boot

Zappos carries a tall version of the original Vivienne Westwood in basic black (above), but it’s no small investment.  Luckily DV Dolce Vita’s Kent ankle boot lets you get the buckled-up look for a lot less, and you can loosen the straps so as to let the footwear hang a bit, like Sienna and Kate’s boots do. Mia’s appropriately-named Outlaw boot, however, keeps with the buckled style while looking quite pulled together.

Still on the hunt for more fall trends?  We’d recommend checking out fingerless gloves, fall handbags, and of course, more fall shoe trends.

How To Wear Granny Boots Without Looking Like, Well, A Granny

We’ve been seeing trendy, heeled granny boots all over town lately, and while they do sort of look like they belong on a mean, British schoolteacher, or as their affectionate name insists, a grandmother, we like this lace up look. Worried about how to style up this particular type of ankle boots? That’s where we come in.

how to wear granny boots

First things first, pick a pair of granny boots that aren’t too clunky – we like Deena & Ozzy’s slim lace up pair. While your first inclination may be to go with a floral frock, we suggest jean leggings with a sophisticated high waist. Next, add a blouse with exaggerated ruffles – Grandma definitely wouldn’t sport this super trendy style.  We suggest you tuck in your top and throw on a fitted velvet blazer to balance out your not-so-feminine foot wear. Finally, slip your arm through a slouchy hobo in a neutral gray or black.

Deal Of The Day: Take Up To 50% Off Sleek Knee High Boots From Endless

Whether you prefer to wear them with cozy leggings or to doll up a mini skirt, a good pair of knee high boots will always go a long way. And since winter seems to have hit early, we think it’s the perfect time to stock up on some discounted leather and suede.

sudini prestige boot

A structured, sleek riding boot, like this leather style from Sudini ($127 from $230) can be very figure flattering. Wear them with a loose floral dress and tights for a picture perfect fall ensemble.

Luxurious suede, girly ruching at the ankle, and a modest (but not too modest) three inch heel makes this Dolce Vita boot ($75 from $150) our pick for cold weather party wear.

nine west mentry boot

The drawstring on this Nine West boot ($68 from $170) isn’t just for fun – you can use it to adjust this stylish suede shoe and wear it either full length or scrunched and slouchy.

cynthia vincent reva over the knee bootnicole right now over the knee boot

Trend 1: Over the knee boots

This up-to-there footwear is definitely trendy, but this season we’re looking for pairs that are simple enough to have staying power that lasts into next season, too.

The Cynthia Vincent Reva ($270) and Nicole Right Now ($175) are both ideal for this purpose, in versatile neutrals with fold-down cuffs and reasonable heels.

cynthia vincent duke ankle boot

Trend 2: Ankle boots

The beauty of an ankle boot like this one from Cynthia Vincent ($350) is that you can wear it with almost anything: Opaque tights and a dress for some night-out attitude, wide-leg trousers at work for a classic look, skinny pants tucked in on weekends…the list goes on.

We’re giving away a $100 gift card to Piperlime, where all three of these boots are for sale. See below to enter.

Trend 3: Pointy flats

This more refined take on the ballet flat is perfect for work – it’s elegant like a heel, but totally comfortable. We especially like the Sam Edelman Delancey ($110) – it’s lightweight and flexible, and come in pretty fall colors, in addition to basic black.

We’re giving away a pair of Sam Edelman shoes. See below to enter.

Top Five: Buckle Up With Harness Boots

Boots are all over this fall, from sky-high thigh-high to barely-there booties. But beyond the size matters trends, another hot look is emerging where menswear meets biker chic, in the harness boot. Add a little rock and roll to your wardrobe with this easy-to-wear look.

Frye Carmen Boot

Be traditional (or at least a traditional as this trend can be) with Frye’s Carmen Harness Tall ($358) which has a distressed leathery look like you just rode in from a long ride.

La Canadienne Charlize

Two boot trends meet in these La Canadienne Charlize boots ($395): slouchy and harness. But even better is that you get waterproof comfort with style.

Charlotte Ronson Harness Boots

Glam it up with Charlotte Ronson’s Mirjam Motorcyle Boots ($297) in smooth, shiny leather.

Steven By Steve Madden Harness Boot

Sleek styling and cute buckling bring a modern touch of class and edgy femininity to these Steven “Cace” Boots ($199).

Hustin Boot

Nobody does biker chic like Harley Davidson, and their Hustin boots ($150) are about as tough as they come.

Fall is the time to indulge in boot shopping, so peruse our guides for the best in thigh-high, foldover, and UGG boots.
