Gucci: Rule of the Boots
Shopping | Nicky Branagh | September 30, 2008
We all listened when we heard Nancy Sinatra proclaim that ’these boots are made for walking’, but that does not mean to say that we are going to be wearing any walking boots. No Sir, not if Gucci have anything to do with it.
The A/Wo8 footwear collection at Gucci is a 4.1” heeled, boot heaven and this year they have undoubtedly led the high street with their statement style, yet wearable designs.
The luxurious Russian Folklore theme which was explored through the detailed prints and bohemian embroidery down Gucci’s catwalk, is echoed in the tassled designs of the Devendra ankle booties which boast traditional Gucci crest ornaments from the fringed suede.

Furthermore, the inspired just-below-the-knee Babouska boots (though slightly too riddled with gold for my wearing), set off the Gucci fur coat and skinny trousers to perfection.

And how about the much sought after over-the-knee, low-heeled Devendra riding boot, perfect for those cold and rainy runaround days..?
The choice is endless. Of course, at over (and in many cases, lots over), $1000, we can’t all afford to go nabbing these babies. If - like us - however you are pining for your very own Devendra flats, head to Russell and Bromley where you can find an imitation suede design (complete with extensively long tassles) for £275.



Oh, I just seen the Devendra. Zara made! And I promise, it looks every leather inch like this one! (almost bought it, but I was searching for something lower, more of a bootie featuring a cowboy ride. don’t know if I’ll find it, but I’m not giving up the search. Who knows what ripoffs I stumble upon!)
..oh, and just to let you know - right after posting my comment (in fact after pushing the submit button), I got myself a royal screen of errors… I went back to my original comment form, pressed F5 and what do you know? nevermind those errors, my comment was posted..
Maybe it will help you..
Hey kpriss, thanks for letting us know about the errors! We’ve just updated the site and we’re trying to iron out all our teething problems so thanks for that. Didnt know Zara ripped off the Devendra. Will go check it out!x
