Frye Riding Boots are not only a classic boot but they are currently a popular style among boots trends this season. With all of the sky high heels and platforms, they are also a comfortable alternative to looking chic during Fall and Winter. Riding boots typically have a 1 inch or less heel, making them super comfy, yet stylish at the same time.

Here are some of the latest riding boot styles by Frye…

The Frye Paige Tall Riding Boot features a traditional, timeless silhouette with chic lines defined by a top stitched leather overlay on the front. Shown here in black, the Paige Riding Boot is also available in brown, dark brown, or tan.

The Frye Paige Clovertab Cuff Riding Boot features vintage leather with prominent clovertab hardware laid across a suede insert.  Shown here in fawn, the Paige Clovertab Boot is also available in black or cognac.

The Frye Melissa Button Riding Boot features classic styling with buttons at the top of the shaft.   Shown here in fawn, the Melissa Button Boot is also available in cognac, dark brown, bordeaux, or black.

The Frye Dorado Riding Boots have buckle detailing and a 1 inch heel.   Shown here in black, the Dorado Riding Boots are also available in bordeaux, dark brown, or spice.

The Frye Shirley Riding Boot has hand-antiqued leather and buckle detailing at the top of the shaft and ankle.  The top of the shaft can be folded down or worn straight up.  Shown here in red-brown, the Shirley Riding Boot is also available in dark grey, black, or bordeaux.

Established in 1863, the Frye Company is the oldest shoe company in America. This long history has given them a reputation for making finely crafted, fashionable boots using the finest leathers and quality hardware.

Frye Riding Boots range from $300 – $500, but they are a worthy investment because they will last for years, looking better as the leather ages. You’ll want to care properly for your investment by using saddle soap are a good leather conditioner. This will ensure that your riding boots look great for many years.

Riding boots are meant to be sleek and form fitting, so make sure that your riding boots fit snuggly against your leg. If you find your leather riding boots to fit a bit too snuggly around your leg, try taking them to a cobbler to have the leather stretched.

If you only have one pair of riding boots among your boot collection, black or brown boots will have the most versatility among your Fall and Winter wardrobe pieces. You can wear your riding boots with leggings or with pants tucked inside. They can also be worn with dresses or skirts. Be sure that the hem line is above the top of the boot and, for a polished look, wear tights in the same color as your boots to keep the lines of your outfit.

        

These fierce boots by Cynthia Vincent will certainly take your look up a few notches. The Cynthia Vincent Kala boot features sexy fish bone style cut-outs, a hidden platform, and a conical heel. The rear zipper at the heel is placed well, and does not interfere with sexy lines and cut-outs on the front and sides of these boots.

The gray color of the Kala boot is perfect in that it doesn’t detract from the daring femininity but instead makes it subtle and mysterious. These boots would look fabulous paired with gray tights.

Cynthia Vincent only recently expanded her clothing line to include footwear in 2005. In that short time, her shoe collections have gained a reputation for unique styling that is feminine and sophisticated.

        

I’ve been drawn to navy blue boots ever since I spotted the Daria Boot by Donald J Pliner. Now I’m seeing many other brands with blue boots in their Fall/Winter collections.   Navy blue boots stand out because they are an unusual color for leather and not the usual black or brown shade that we see and wear so often. However, navy blue boots are more versatile than you would think because they go with so many things and they are a great way to add color to your Fall/Winter wardrobe. Wear them with neutrals, such as black, brown, camel, and grey or with complementary colors such as orange, blues, and yellows.

There are quite a few navy blue boots available now and in quite a few styles, including both knee high and ankle boots. Here are a few of my favorite navy blue boots…

Donald J Pliner Daria navy blue boots in denim oilskin feature sexy lace up closure and a tractor platform sole.

Gabriella Rocha Adair navy blue boots feature gold buckle and studs as well as a very reasonable 3 inch heel.

Vince Camuto Mikey in varsity blue in the ever so popular ankle boot style. The
Vince Camuto Mikey navy blue boots feature suede leather, rounded toe, stacked chunky heel, and an inside zipper closure.

Nine West Halfpint dark blue ankle boot features gorgeous suede and a low stacked heel at 2 inches. At less than $100.00, this is a very affordable option!

If you’ve decided to wear the western trend that is so popular now, here are some navy blue boots in western style…

Frye Carson pull on boot in sapphire features classic Western detailing with supple, slouchy antiqued soft full-grain leather with a self-lining so it can be worn fashionably cuffed.

Navy boots are a great way complement and add color to Fall/Winter wardrobe pieces in neutral shades. For many, navy is just the right amount of color without being too bright. It can also be classic and looks nice with traditional Fall patterns, such as plaids or tweeds. If boots aren’t your style, try some navy pumps or mules.

Navy comes in many hues and can be difficult to match with a blue outfit. It can also look a bit too matchy-matchy if matching with an all blue outfit. I find navy looks best when paired with neutrals and complementary colors.

Via Spiga’s new Fall 2009 Collection is getting noticed and for all the right reasons. Why you ask? Well, it may be because it is the first collection from their new Creative Director, Paola Venturi. With nearly 2 decades of experience, Venturi has led creative design for some well-known design houses including Te Casan, Kate Spade, Calvin Klein, and Sergio Rossi (where she started her career).

Venturi is based in Italy but she recently visited Chicago earlier this month to promote her collection. During her visit to the Windy City, she was interviewed by Second City Style. You can read more about this talented Italian shoe designer here.

Here are a few of Via Spiga’s Fall 2009 Designs…

Via Spiga V-Sorina Dress Shoe A chic and tailored suede pump with a strap and buckle across the instep.

Via Spiga Daria Peep toe platform Mary Jane style pump with perforated, contrasting trim.   Shown here in brown, also available in black.

Via Spiga Pansy- Stone/Black Suede Suede pump with ornamental buttons and suede covered heel.  Also available in black suede.

Via Spiga – Oasis These adorable suede flats feature lizard-embosed accents and come in dark olive, plum, or luggage suede leather.

Via Spiga V-Linden Bootie I love the sleek lines and classic silhouette on this ankle bootie. Available in black or brown smooth leather or wine suede leather.

Via Spiga Suri chic fold over suede bootie. Shown here in dark olive; also available in stone, dark plum, or black suede.

Via Spiga – Elise Gorgeous suede ankle bootie. Shown here in luggage suede, also available in plum and black suede.

Via Spiga Nevin Sleek and sophisticated knee high platform boots in black suede or calf leather.

I’m quite impressed with this collection from Via Spiga. It’s feminine and sophisticated, yet it also has a playful and carefree style as well. I could easily have and wear all of these designs with my current Fall wardrobe. I’m looking forward to seeing more of Venturi’s designs, soon to be unveiled, in her Spring 2010 collection.

The Donald J Pliner Zandra Open-Toe Bootie (left) has softly gathered suede leather draping across the foot and an elastic gored side buckle make this the open toe bootie of the season.   The Zasha Bootie (right) has asymetrical folds that accentuate the smooth lines.  The open toe and antique metallic leather make this footwear a great option for both dressy and casual outfits.

For footwear with style and substance, Chie Mihara shoes and boots are an easy choice.   The incredible styles are apparent. One only has to look at the fresh and innovative designs that consistently come from Chie Mihara’s shoe collection each season to realize how talented this designer truly is.   Instead of focusing on the latest trends, she sticks to basic forms, usually with a retro vibe or vintage silhouette and from this she creates her unique and exciting designs through the fine detailing that can be seen in every Chie Mihara shoe and boot.

In addition to great styles, Chie Mihara shoes and boots are also beautifully crafted with comfort in mind and are made to fit the foot perfectly.   This is likely attributed to Chie’s past experience as an intern at an orthopedic shoe store where she learned about the importance of foot health.

Here are some of the new Chie Mihara shoes and boots that are out this fall.

Chie Mihara Naida in navy with suede leather upper and  smooth leather elongated collar at heel.
