Burberry Rubber Wellington Boots, $395 via Net-a-Porter

Sometimes, life necessitates that you wear a rain boot when you really, truly don’t want to be wearing one. A job interview? A date? An afternoon of high-end shopping? Sometimes you want to look just so, and wearing giant rubber boots that look at home on the farm screws all of that up before you even get out the door. Read More…

Burberry Milford Raffia Sandals, $695. Burberry Verulam Beaded Sandals, $795. Both via Net-a-Porter.

All the talk that the fashion world has been doing about the return of the non-platform pump still didn’t stop most brands from making a few for Resort 2012. Burberry in particular is still enthusiastic about the shape, with both the Burberry Milford Raffia and Leather Sandals and the Burberry Verulam Beaded Sandals hitting online retail at the same time.

You guys, it’s the last Friday of summer. Of arbitrary New York summer, anyway – Labor Day may mean something here, but I know that back home in Atlanta and throughout the rest of the South, the summer weather isn’t going to let up until the end of next month.

Because of that, let’s do something fun. We haven’t had a Fill in the Blank in a while, and I think that the Burberry Suede and Canvas Platforms are a good candidate for discussion. Read More…

The return of tough, black, flat-soled leather boots warm the cockles of my little ex-teenage-punk heart. I do not simply want a pair of these boots, I want all of the pairs. In fact, I already have one pair of great, grungy BedStu boots waiting for winter, and I’m going to be adding more pairs as soon as possible. Read More…

The shoes and accessories that Burberry showed at its Spring 2011 presentation received just as much criticism from the fashion press as the clothes themselves received praise, and now that those shoes and accessories are finding their way to retail and proliferating across the Internet in stock images, I’m still confused about what went into designing things like the Burberry Prorsum Patent Leather Platform Pumps.

On the way back from a recent trip to New York City, I waited at LaGuardia for my flight home to Atlanta next to a woman wearing the Burberry Platform Biker Boots that I love so much. After I forced myself to stop staring at her in unmitigated shoe-envy and restrained myself from tapping her on the shoulder to talk about her boots, I remembered that I was sitting in an airport, waiting to board a plane to yet another airport, one which is so big that I’ve nearly missed flights out of Atlanta because it takes so long to hoof it from security to your freaking gate, which is always the last one on the concourse, always.

I would have had no hesitation about the Burberry Mega Stud Platform Sandal, had it come out about a year ago. It would have seemed current and fresh, and I wouldn’t have been sick of studs yet by that point. I’m kind of sick of them now, but is this pair of shoes interesting enough to pass my test anyway?

I’m always slow to give anything a superlative like “best” because I’m usually sure that something will come along that will be better and I’ll have to eat my words and backtrack. Plus, if you say it too many times, the term loses its very finite meaning. That being said, the Burberry Prorsum Shearling Ankle Bootes may in fact be the best shoes of the season. Read More…
