5 of the Hottest Boot Trends This Season
Written by Kaila H. Johnson
If I could wear any shoe for the rest of my life, it would be a boot! After living in the UK for several years and walking miles on anything from cobbled roads to granite curbstones in one of the fashion capitals, I’ve learned to develop an appreciation for quality shoes. So, I don’t have a closet purely dedicated to my shoes (yet!), but what I do have is a collection of artisanal beauty. I live for the boot trends and find the ones that not only make me strut with confidence, but make my feet absolutely happy.
Today, I am bringing to you the hottest boot trends of this season, and let me tell you, you are in for a throwback with a twist. We’ve got the hype of the 70s, a dash of the 80s, and the panache of the 90s. The classic staples are still thriving, but with some added pizzazz. So, without further ado… the trends await.
Square Things Up
You know a trend wouldn’t be a trend without a little appearance from the 90s. 2000s babies won’t remember, but back when the Titanic film hit the big screens, Sex and the City was all the rage (for the first time), and we were trying to figure out which Spice Girl we were, there was also the square toe shoe trend.
Making a comeback, and might I say, looking very classy, I give you the square toe boot.

How High Is Knee-High
I’ll be honest, there was a season when I thought knee-high boots were taking a hike, but I was far from right. With Justin Timberlake’s “SexyBack” playing in the background, have a swipe through these beauties.
