Every time fall comes around the corner I renew my love affair with boots. We have a pretty serious thing going on…Please see the above picture of my beautiful new vintage inspired lace up granny boots.
The history of boots can be traced back to the 1800’s. They became most famous during the Victorian era, which gave us Victorian/granny boots. The boots covered a womens ankle to protect them from being looked at by men. While we have come a long way from hiding our ankles, we haven't fallen out of love with granny boots. Modern versions of this classic boot can be found at almost any shoe store.
I purchased my boots at Urban Outfitters but if you want to find a pair for real vintage granny boots head on over to etsy & click vintage and type in granny boots.
Ohhh…look how many, maybe my new boots need some friends…

ReplyDeleteOOOHHH, I have a pair of white granny boots that I wore to my junior, senior proms, and wedding. They are now vintage, I have considered listing them on etsy. They are from 1987 and were worn exactly 3 times, granted 3 GREAT times!
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling quite undecided about granny boots still. Lol. Btw, I wonder why they are still called such; whose granny wears them? Hahaha. ♥,

I agree. My granny sure doesn't wear granny boots. I love them though, something about that lacing!
