I mean, look at UGG. “A diverse collection of leather, suede, and embellished designer boots for women.” Okay, UGG, you do you. But are those *really* what I’m picturing when I think “designer?” Maybe? Depends on the embellishments, I guess. And then there’s Saks! “Booties Designer Shoes at Saks: Enjoy free shipping and returns, and discover new arrivals from today’s top brands.” Free shipping is ALWAYS a win, let’s be real. Makes dropping serious cash on boots a *little* less painful. Plus, “new arrivals” means there’s a *chance* you won’t see everyone else rocking the same pair.
And then, BAM, Neiman Marcus. They’re throwing around all kinds of options: ankle boots, riding boots, over-the-knee boots… It’s boot overload! And both their listings are for “Lace-up Designer Boots for Women”… Like, okay, I GET IT. You like lace-up boots. But what if I don’t? Hmmm? I’m more of a zipper-and-go kinda gal, personally. It’s less fuss, y’know?
Oh, and Drew’s Boots… I see the “Custom Boots” title in the provided content, but is this actually an advertisement? I’m not sure if this is for the designer-style boots or not.
And don’t even get me STARTED on the “brave the cold” ads. “Soft leathers, suede options, knitted styles and diamante designs…” Knitted boots?! Seriously? I feel like those would be ruined the first time you stepped in a puddle. Diamante though? Now *that* has potential. But like… tasteful diamante, not like, “I raided a craft store” diamante. There’s a difference.
And Gucci at Saks? Okay, now we’re talking. (Although, again, free shipping and returns are the real MVPs here). But Gucci… that’s a whole different level of commitment. Like, are you ready to commit to dry cleaning those boots for the rest of your life? I dunno. I’m kind of clumsy.
