The Perfect Flat Boots

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

Try Target. They had a few when I just checked to see if last year's Kady boot was out for this fall yet.

I suggest stalking your local Marshalls and/or TJ Maxx, if you have one. At the beginning of the last two falls they had some beautiful boots that were obviously a buy out that they did from Bergdorfs, Henri Bendel and other higher end department stores. They had boots with the original Bergdorf tag on the box that said $750 for some that were priced at $29.99 to $39.99. They were definately one offs so you are not assured your size, but it is worth it if you find the right pair. This is usually early or pre-fall, so start looking around mid August. I lucked out last year and bought several pairs of gorgeous boots. I can't wait to wear them again this year.

Boots · Gucci

The stores have just begun getting their boots in for Fall, so I'd start looking around but not buy a pair until at least the end of August. You'll get the best variety by then and most likely there won't be any sales before then anyway.

I love Frye boots for sturdy, well made leather boots. There's a reason you can still wear (and buy on ebay) Frye boots that are a decade or two (or even three!) old. They're expensive, but you can wear them forever. Sometimes DSW has last years styles for a little less, but it's hit or miss of course. On-line codes help too.

Here are some of the other ones I like.

Steve Madden $199

Nine West $149

Lil Red · Nine West

I second Marshalls. I got a cute pair of knee high flats by Jessica Simpson last year.

TeachingInHeels · Nine West

I agree, try Marshalls or TJMaxx for boots. I found a pair online at Victoria's Secret last year that I'm in love with!!

Suasoria · Chanel

Do you want something casual or dressed-up? Budget? Here are a couple of somewhat classic shapes...

CheryleB · Kenneth Cole

I have these in the cherry red and black and they are great.

Waterproof and warm enough to wear driving but not too warm for indoors. They look good with pants or a skirt/dress.

I really like these from the ones you posted.

Boots · Gucci

Not really a fan of the ones with the row of bows. They're too cutesy for my taste and I think I'd tire of them easily. Also not digging the black soles on the Madewell ones.

I really like these, but they look like otk boots to me. If you are looking for classic brown boots, I'm not sure if these are something you'll be wearing 5 years from now (or even 2.) If you already have classic boots or if that's not what you want in the first place anyway, I think these look really sharp.
