Looking for a stylish, moderately priced boot? Ash has you covered

As most of us know far too well, the bigger the shoe, the bigger the price tag. Leather boots regularly bump up into the four-figure range, and it can be difficult for fashionistas on a budget to find knee-high boots that are good quality but also don’t send them to the poor house.

I’m one of those fashionistas on a bit of a budget, and because of that, I’ve been following new brand Ash very closely. According to the company’s website and my vague memory of the semester of Italian that I took in college, the brand has been making shoes since 2000 but has just recently gained widespread distribution in the US. And not a moment too soon, either – I am coveting the Ash Tall Ruched Wedge Boots for fall.

I just can’t do heels on a daily basis. I love to look at them and talk about them, but spending big parts of my daily life on my feet in heels is generally something I try to avoid with cute and comfortable flats and wedges. For that purpose, these boots are perfect – they’d layer easily over tights (I’m not a wearer of pants, generally) and look stylish and sleek with my winter wardrobe, all the while giving me the height of heels without as much pain. My favorite detail is that the side zipper runs all the way to the ground, but the best part of the whole shoe is easily the price. Buy through Saks for $345.

I’m not sure how I feel about the zipper going all the way to the bottom of the sole, but other than that I like these.

They are cute, I just don’t think I’d personally wear them very often.

i hope to snag a pair of Ash over-the-knee boots this coming winter season. last year i was so overwhelmed by all the amazing OTK boots that i didn’t get my life together as well as i should have. i like these!

Are we seeing winter shoes already??? So much to enjoy about summer shoes…

  It seems like boots never entirely went away. I live in a very, very hot part of the country, so I’m at least 4-5 months away from even THINKING about wearing tall boots, but online retailers are starting to feature them again because fall collections are just starting to be put up for preorder.

I love tall boots- literally live in them fall through winter. These are great- and at a reasonable price point!

The zipper going all the way to the ground throw it off for me.

Ash is great! I own a pair of short black wedge laceup booties from them that are so comfy. I also almost purchased a pair of open toe studded wooden wedges from them but the store I was in didn’t have my size.

  Not a fan of the wedge. They’d look great as flat boots.
Rachel

I also love the way the zipper goes all the way down to the wedge…I’m not sure I love the ruching though. But they’re really cute!
Laureen

A lot of style for the price!
Treselle

don’t like the zipper on the side.
Amber

These are cute and I actually do like the zipper up the side. I’m a shorty, so I love boots, they dominate my shoe collection most often.
Sarah Hirsch

The zipper to the bottom is a cool touch, but I don’t like the wedge platform
Jane

I will have to continue to find Ash shoes because I love these boots and the price.
erg

I don’t care for several of the details of the boot (side zipper, platform and ruching), but I think that it is a nice price.
Michele

I’m not a big fan of these, although they definitely have their place with a certain look. They are well priced for $345
jo

love how the zipper goes all the way down to the heels. these are fab. too bad i cant wear these in my country or else my legs will die from the heat
adrienne

i would love to see what these look like completely unzipped.
Typhanie

Love the zipper, but not a huge fan of wedges
quimerula

I am seriously considering them…
faith24

for the price they are not bad at all! i am not sure if i like the zipper but that is one thing that makes these boots stand out in the crowd of all other black boots
Katrina

WOW!!! love these…
Ashley

I adore tall boots, but I hate these.
Kim

Cute, but a little to tall.
Mel

I love wedge boots! Easy to walk on Ash is a great brand.
Laura

I like the zipper & the wedge platform, but I would like them better without the ruching.
Hannah

BTW i’m looking for more Ash shoes. Do you have any idea where I can find the Ash’s Twist Buckle Wedge Black Canvas? Thank you!!!
ter garney

Kristen

Love these! The price is pretty good for nice boots.
Kelly

I like these; idk about the wedge heel though.
Chelsea Clark

Those are very sexy, I have large calves though & they probably wouldn’t fit me..
ellen geller

The size 7 is no longer avail for pre-order and I can’t find this anywhere else online. Have you located it anywhere else? Thanks!
