Ahhh the joys of the perfect mid heel ankle boot! I need little encouragement to extol the virtues of this particular incarnation, the by hudson Encke multi sued buckle boot in tan.
Browsing in the shoe section of the Topshop website is a risky business. Not for the first time, I have fallen prey to the delights of their stylish range of footwear. I go on with the best of intentions, just to browse, not to buy anything. Inevitably a pair of boots catches my eye, I imagine myself wearing them, imagine pairing them with skinny jeans, that pretty summer dress that just needs a bit of edginess adding and the next thing I know I'm obsessing over said pair of boots. In this instance I took a strong line balking at the £150 price tag. That is, until I came face to face with this specimen of sartorial temptation in store. Predictably I promptly caved in. The fact that they were in the last chance to buy section forced my hand.
They remind me of the Russell and Bromley cowboy ankle boots that Sienna Miller made famous in 2009, which make a reappearance each season with a crippling price tag of £295 plus. So the by hudson beauties were a bargain really. Anyone smell self deception? Denial is bliss.
Supremely comfortable, with a low but flattering heel these are the perfect daywear ankle boot, gorgeous with just about anything. They will be a staple of my wardrobe through summer and winter.
