<strong>Wearing:</strong> Bata Europe.<br /><br />
<strong>Purchased:</strong> My husband got them for me in Italy.<br /><br />
<strong>How do these boots make you feel?</strong> Kind of sexy, like Catwoman.<br /><br />
<strong>Is this the shoe trend of the season?</strong> I’ve had guys tell me it is, and for a guy to say that, it must be. Plus, my husband is in the shoe business and is always a step ahead.
<i>Artist, Virginia</i><br /><br />
<strong>Wearing:</strong> Marc Jacobs. I bought them from Zappos for $200.<br /><br />
<strong>How do these boots make you feel?</strong> Sturdy and protected. They’re good all-weather boots.<br /><br />
<strong>Are skinny legs a must for this trend?</strong> Height is definitely a requirement. If you’re 5’3”, you’d probably just look like one big boot.

<strong>Wearing:</strong> Mango. They’re from a Mango store, and cost $110.<br /><br />
<strong>What do you like about these boots?</strong> They’re warm, comfortable and hide my legs. I feel stylish on the streets of New York in them.<br /><br />
<strong>What’s next on your shoe shopping list?</strong> If I go back to warm weather, I’ll get a fancy pair of flip-flops.

<strong>Wearing:</strong> I bought these at Prada for somewhere between $300 and $700.<br /><br />
<strong>What do you like about these boots?</strong> They’re comfy and you get the sex appeal without being on stilettos.<br /><br />
<strong>What’s next on your shoe shopping list?</strong> Platforms with a substantial heel. It’s all about comfort and durability, and due to the recession, it has to last.
