Get the boot

MANILA, Philippines - Proenza Schouler’s campy footwear, boots that look like they were airlifted directly from the Adirondacks, may be making waves, but it’s those glossy thigh-high boots straight out of Sunset Boulevard or, better yet, Pretty Woman that are making everyone tremble in their boots from excitement.

Manolo Blahnik, Stella McCartney and Christian Loutoutin have all worshipped at the temple of the boot. Even Jimmy Choo is offering a thigh-high boot for the soon-to-debut H&M collaboration.

Worn with figure-hugging dresses or, as the high-flying women of French Vogue have shown, with painted-on jeans and a Balmain jacket, thigh-high boots make a fierce sartorial statement. Mainly, these shoes kick ass.

You can bet your boots this style is here to stay.
