I've been looking at some saddles lately, but I haven't made the plunge. I really need to get some duck boots as my next purchase. We're going to get back into the second rainy season in September, and I am going to need them.
I've collected a few saddle shoes at the thrifts, but certainly have nothing like this. I have brown/tan, brown/black, brown/white... but I'll never wear black/white. Are you familiar with Nordstrom's 1901 line? They seems to offer trendy colors and styles, but are priced under $100. I'm not sure if they currently have saddles available, but the selection for spring/summer was incredible.
You can't go wrong with Bean boots. I've read terrible reviews on Lands' End knockoffs, so though they may be considerably cheaper, I would go with the real thing. Personally, I have a pair of Bean boots (10") from a yard sale as well as Eddie Bauer knockoffs. The EB model came from a thrift for $1, is made in America, and has a shearling lining - couldn't be more comfortable. Plus, these have a green shell and only a 6" rise, making them much more practical for daily use. While I'm not sure of the current state of EB's productions, I'd give them a look as well.
I'm familiar with Nordstrom's 1901 line. I've even tried them on. The black/whites can look good, but often just make you look like a Catholic school girl... Now... As a former Catholic school boy, I certainly like to see them on Catholic school girl. Especially if paired with the lacy ankle socks and plaid skirts...
