It is no surprise that I love boots – I do after all have half a closet dedicated to many different lengths, heels and colors. As the the cold weather approaches, the sandals get tucked back into their original boxes (stacked nicely in the back of the closet) and the boots become center stage. As a practical woman that spends most her time on foot rather than in a car, the majority of the boots I own are flat or have a 1.5 to 2 inch heel or wedge.
Currently my favorite pair of boots are a gray, over the knee, flat boot by Dolce Vita called Eve. I recently purchased these as a birthday gift to myself and found quite the deal. They were less expensive than most of my Steve Madden boots (Steve Madden is known for reasonably priced, quality boots). I have always been a fan of Dolce Vita’s shoe collection and own several of their sandals and flats. The Eve’s are the first pair of Dolce Vita boots I’ve purchased. Thankfully, my shoe size is universal in their entire collection – these fit perfectly.
Thinking about how I would like to also purchase these in black
Since I’ve only had these a short time, I have yet to pair them with a dress or skirt. I’ve worn them a few times now, always with a pair of skinny jeans and really like the way they elongate my legs.
Casual with just the right amount of sex appeal
These Dolce Vita Eve boots look great from any angle
These are also the first pair of over the knee boots I’ve purchased. They are held comfortably in place by an elastic panel behind the knee and sit perfectly above my knee (I am 5’9 and was worried these wouldn’t be long enough). They do wrinkle down a bit, something I noticed after my second wear but it doesn’t bother me nor do they slide down. Also, I noticed some women actually fold down the top of the boot creating a below the knee look. Personally, I have plenty below the knee boots and really like this boot as is.
I paired these boots with one of my favorite striped cardigans from William B, charcole Serena skinny jeans from Mavi and a Mac & Jac braided ruched green top.
