These Boots Are Made For Marching.


Ladies, gear up!  Although the military trend was introduced to us way back in twenty-ten, it looks like we're still in the combat zone, this time... we're suited up in the perfect combat boots!
Look at that starting lineup!

Sometimes when there are so many styles and options of a trend it's tricky to find exactly what piece is right for you! (The perfect striped tee, the perfect boyfriend blazer, the perfect heels, the perfect LBD??) And since we cant always get them all, I'm here to give you a hand with choosing the perfect combat boot for twenty-eleven! 
If you seek COMFORT:
Comfort seekers can never go wrong with a good flat shoe. Lucky for you, the combat boot practically caters to function and comfort. For the perfect combat boot, look for flat soles and practical details! The Steve Madden's 'Blizardd' Boot.  featuers cozy shearling, while the canvasZigi Girl 'Onsite' Boot is a simple no-fuss take on the utilitarian look. For a taller boot, OTBT 'Astoria' Boot is a wonderful option, combining comfort with a bit of a statement. And what could be more practical or comfortable than a real combat-hiking boot, like the Frye 'Archie' Hiker Boot, a darling pair of kicks that can take you from school to the streets to the clear air of a mountain trail!

If you like GLAMOUR:
Now, just because your taking on a generally tough persona in your utilitarian kicks, doesn't mean you can't add a little feminine touch! The Jeffery Campell 'All-Ruffle' Ankle Boot is a delightful marriage between rough and tumble combat boots and luscious ruffles! And of course, nothing is more glam than a 5 inch heel! Trouve 'Focus' Bootie is the most glamorous combat wedge I've ever seen! If your still looking to make a statement, look no further than Dr. Martens 'Johari 12 Tie Eyelet Zip' Boot! You can't go wrong with Dr. Martens and this pair is edgy and feminine as big bold eyelets are complimented with wonderful ribbon laces! Last but not least, if your going for the ultimate glamorous boot, Seychelles 'Romance' Bootie in Mushroom will give you quite the sassy step as you march away!

If you are CLASSIC:
Now of course, we can't overlook those who wish only to stay true to the roots of the military boot! The Steve Madden 'Troopa' BootBP. 'Hiker' BootDiba 'Miss You' Boot, and Steve Madden 'Cameroon' Boot offer classic details like lots of laces, chunky soles, canvas & leather exteriors, and heavy duty buckles! You'll look like a genuine trooper when you pair a pair of these with your favorite skinny jeans and wooly socks!

If you are OUTSTANDING:
Last but not least, these boots have been awarded with outstanding details that are sure to make statements! Firstly, the Steve Madden "Perrin" Boot is a fine pair of kicks, with layers and layers of skinny laces and an awesome red zipper up the side! Next up, the Donald J Pliner 'Gayora' Boot features distressed suede and a perfect chunky heel, in none other than a fearless shade of maroon. Steve Madden "Hoood" Boot makes it's statement in 'bone' toned suede, and is all wrapped up in bold leather buckles! And lastly, the adventurous teal laces on the Frye 'Rogan' Hiking Boot are sure to make anyone stop and salut the boot!
Hope this helped you (or at least inspired you) to find the perfect combat boot! I still can't decide just which one I love the most. I think I love them all!
XO ROSIE
