All You Need To Know About High-Heeled Boots

We all know that a hot pair of high-heeled boots makes Mondays a little easier and Fridays a lot more fun. So, how to get the most out of your look? We're taking you through the ins and outs of this classic shoe to share the newest trends, best deals, and hottest brands.

For the past year or two, pointed toes were in; this year, the tide has shifted. With a much stronger emphasis in rounded and boxed toes (as influenced by designers like Zac Posen, Christian Dior, Dolce and Gabbana,) high-heeled boots just got a little more comfortable. Franco Sartre has a fabulous solution for those seeking a really great pair of classically designed, round-toe, high-heeled boots. His cool 'Moon' line showcases a three-and-a-quarter inch heel in sleek suede or patent black. These upper calf-length boots are topped with a cute ornamental button. For a reasonable price (between one and two hundred,) you can purchase this fashion forward take on a classic high-heeled boot.

Or, if you're looking for an even more 'next gen' version of the rounded tow, check out a popular European-inspired trend: the slouchy high-heeled boot. By adding a little casual looseness at the shoe's top, designers certainly give an extra 'je ne sais quoi' to your style. A fabulous example in this ephemeral mode that blends casual with class is Jean-Michel Cazabat's Volcana High Heel Stretch Bootie. These sexy, yet sophisticated, high-heeled boots are available in ever-classic black or brown suede. The three-and-a-half inch heel and Italian leather certainly set this trendsetter over the top.

If you're looking for a steal, look no further than Journee's Anne Michelle Mid-Calf High-Heeled Boots. Classic shape, available in black, dark brown, and chestnut for a mere $29.99, these puppies are most definitely the best bang for your buck. Just shy of a three-inch heel, these solid, wooden heels are comfortable and versatile. Quite simply, the price just does not get much better for a classic everyday high-heeled boot.

For those of you putting price out of your mind and hot, quality brands to the forefront, please, please peruse the Frye 'Penelope' Line of high-heeled boots. These round-toed, knee-high buckle-detailed, rich leather high-heeled boots are class and comfort and quality all in one. This stacked heel available in mocha and tan, is absolutely classic. Strut your stuff in these beautiful British-inspired, timeless high-heeled boots. Another, shorter option from Frye is its Adrienne Lace High-Heeled Boot. This lace-up, three-inch, just above the ankle shoe has character without shouting it at you. Perfect to be paired with skinny black pants, or dark denim jeans, these round-toe, high-heeled boots will last you season after season, but won't lose their luster.

Let's round up this round-toe inspired high-heeled boots season. For the best buy, you can do no better than Journee's (Target-stocked) Anne Michelle Mid-Calf Boot. For the epitome of classic chic, Franco Sartre is your answer; but, if memorable and remarkable is your goal, Frye will not fail to deliver the absolute best time, and again.

Do you think high heel boots look good with a miniskirt?

Would it look good or only provocative or both? I have a gorgous pair of heeled brown boots, and would like to wear it with a miniskirt that goes about mid-thigh. I would of course wear warm tights and leg warmers under the skirt too.

Personally I tried it on and thought it looked really good, but I want to hear other's opinions too.

Boots and mini skirts do tend to look slutty together. Just make sure the skirt goes to your fingertips (when your arms hang down naturally) or a few inches past them which would be best. If that's not possible, just make sure you are covered on top. Maybe a nice sweater, or a turtle neck, something to cover you up. No cleavage hanging out, no sleeveless, and no huge patches of skin. Leave all the sexyness to your legs.
