{I know this is What I Wore, but two of the pics in this post are from last year! Just wanted to clarify!}
My love affair with boots started just over a year ago.
Living in Nebraska, they are the PERFECT stylish and warm footwear choice. And there is so much variety in color, style, height, heel – any woman could find a pair she likes!
One of my newest pairs is from Kalso Earth Shoes…
{Thursday at the Relevant Conference!}
This is “The Prance” boot – a two-tone, tall-shafted boot with a rounded toe. I love the rugged look of these boots – I feel like I could wear them every day throughout winter, while staying nice and warm!
I hear a lot of women say they don’t get boots because they won’t fit their calves, but this is not a worry with these boots! The full zipper and roomy shaft made it possible to fit even over my regular jeans!
And the special extra with Kalso Earth Shoes is their patented “negative heel.” I had never tried “negative heel” shoes before, but I was pleasantly surprised!
What is a negative heel?
A “negative heel” design sets heel slightly lower than the toes, which mimics walking barefoot in sand by naturally positioning body over the frame. The heel gives you a better walking motion which helps improve posture and reduce joint stress.
I wore these boots all day at the conference on Thursday and also while traveling back on Sunday {which included running though the airport}, and I loved how they felt! My feet did not get sore at all – they were wrapped in comfort!
I would highly recommend Kalso Earth Shoes boots – very high quality!
****
My absolute favorite source for boots is
These black riding boots may be the most comfortable boots I own. And they are versatile enough to go with everything – dresses, jeggings, leggings and so on!
If you buy one pair of boots, I really think they should be riding boots!
And after having black boots, I knew I needed some brown ones as well! My black boots are leather, but my brown boots are suede!
I love suede for looking a little dressier. The only drawback to suede is having to be careful in wet weather – I did waterproof mine but I still feel a little paranoid!
So those are my Lands’ End boots from last year. I still wear them all the time and find them to be so comfortable and well-made.
Of course, I needed more for this year, so I went for a little more color…
How about those yellow wellies?!
I love rain as it is, but I want a really good downpour so I can go stomp in puddles wearing those beauties! Wellies are very popular this year as a fashion statement as well. I have worn mine around the house, but not out and about yet. Watch for those pics in a future What I Wore post!
And now for the red boots…
{Friday at the Relevant Conference!}
Yep, I’m in love with these. These are the Women’s Benton Mid Heel Pull-on Dress Boots in Cordovan.
The color is unique, the heel is not too high, and the leather is so soft! And the shaft of the boot is very roomy, but didn’t gap on me – perfect combination!
I feel very fancy wearing these without being uncomfortable – every woman should feel fancy now and then!
Have fun with your boot options! They may be a little more expensive, but the comfort and high quality are worth it! Your feet – and your wardrobe – will thank you!

Women’s Weatherfield™ Boots!!!
I think I’d have to splurge on the Zip-Up Powder Run boots in brown! So cute and look very warm! I’m in Missouri and you know our winters and PAINFUL! : )
I love the Diana Low Heeled boot!
Thanks for this giveaway! <3
I liked the Wellie boots and the mid heel bombay.
I was just thinking this morning that I need, NEED, some new black boots. I like the Diana and the riding boots.

Erin, we moved to Iowa from Nebraska four years ago so I understand your need for all things boots! My kids are so ready for our first big snow and I need to be ready to join them! I am dying for the Zip-up Powder Run Boots in Imperial Purple to go with my purple down jacket.
Thanks!
Heidi
LOVE the yellow wellies!!! & the black Diana boots. Wish I had a fabulous boot collection like yours! 😀
I like the Diana low heel riding boots in espresso. Very pretty!
I would love to try there Women’s Chalet Midshaft Pull-on Boots in slate.
My whole family needs winter boots! I’d love the Powder Run ones, if I could convince myself not to get the Diana Low ones for fun! Lovely giveaway….thanks!
I tweeted 🙂 thanks for the chance! (nikksworld)

Since I have some matching yellow rainboots, maybe I’d get some black one this time or some of the classic duck boots in navy or olive. Thanks for the chance to win!
I LOVE boots! I think it’s a toss up for me between the Women’s Diana Low Heel Twin Gore Pull-on Boots and the Women’s Weatherfield™ Boots. I really can’t decide!
Thanks for an awesome giveaway! Land’s End rocks!
I also tweeted about it!
I like boots too, Erin – I own over 10 pair! On the LE site, those bright yellow Wellie boots are fun and tempting, but for practicality’s sake, if I had to make one choice, I’d get the brown Zip-Up Powder Runs to wear in both rain & snow.
Love to have a pair of those Wellies!!!
I love the way boot look I’ve just never been able to get them over my BIG calves but I really like the Diana low heel riding boots in espresso.
I need a new pair of snow boots, and I LOVE these ones: Women’s Zip-up Powder Run Boots.
I tweeted!!
I have been waiting and waiting and WAITING for this ever since you announced it and showed off your lands end boots…you’ve started my own obsession, GAH!
Since I already have black and brown leather boots, I’m going to go for some other material…so I really like the Weatherfield boots in espresso or slate, and the Chalet midshaft in same!

I hesitated at first whether I should spend that minute to read a review about boots. I am glad I did. I can’t wait to check out the negative heel boots. Love all the detail and pictures you gave. And now, I want to feel fancy too!! *sigh* now I am torn between the two. Thanks for taking the time out to share your love for them. cliche but You had me at ‘fancy’!! 🙂
I could totally go for the yellow wellies! I just moved to a wetlands in New England so boots are a MUST year-round! I need these…..not want…..NEED! A $100 gift card could make it happen!!!
I would really like the Diana low heel riding boot – wish it came in brown! I have also wanted the yellow wellies for a long time – love them!
The women’s center zip riding boots…I heart them. Fun, cool and practical.
I really like the low heel riding boots…I have 3 boys…no time for heels!!!
I would get the riding boots………………….love love love them! I love your red boots!
Nice post Erin…I have been struggling with the boot thing for 3 years now and have been too scared to buy any….ugh…my favorite on the landsend site is the diana low heel…either black or brown….again undecided….
I like the Womens Snow Pack Boots.
