Marc by Marc Jacobs – Knee-high Cinch Boots

Slip your feet into these soft and lavish Marc Jacobs knee-high cinch boots! Your feet and calves will be wrapped up in soft chocolate brown calf leather, right up to your knees. The truly unique feature of these soft calf boots is certainly the cinched collar. The matching drawstring collar is pulled as tight as you like via matching soft calf skin laces in the same rich coffee hue. Cinch them loosely and wear them as shrug boots, or cinch them tightly, all the way up to the knee for a bagged look. The rounded leather toe takes away from the cowboy resemblance, making these boots the perfect footwear for work or nighttime play.

These Marc Jacobs knee-high cinch boots are perfect for pairing with a short skirt and matching tights, or thanks to the cinch collar, they’ll slip perfectly over your favorite pair of skinny jeans. The stacked western-style heel makes them the perfect complement to denim of any kind—dark, light or even black. The 4-inch heel will definitely give you some decent height, and the hidden platform bottom makes them extra comfortable for walking, line dancing or wearing all day long. Get them for $793.95 at Zappos.com.

If that almost $800 price tag doesn’t have you dancing in your boots, try on a pair of Baci Master cinch boots in the same chocolate brown. They have a similar slouchy look, but are much shorter, cinching around the ankle. The cinch strap ties on the outside, adding a pretty bow for a feminine touch. The upper is made of one hundred percent suede, and the three-inch heel is also covered in the same material. The sole is leather, so be sure to scuff it up a little before walking out the door. Get the Baci Master cinch boots for just $98.95, also at Zappos.com.

Dying to slip on chocolate brown boots this fall, but can’t handle going over $100? Good news. Me Too Women’s Galant boots with sweater tops instead of drawstrings are very affordable. The front has a nice lace-up detail, and the chunky heel offers stability as well as style. They’re made of one hundred percent suede with a rubber sole for good traction. If you wear these over skinny jeans, you can turn down the sweater top cuff. Or, if you want affordable suede boots but you’re not crazy about the sweater top, wear them under jeans, or a long skirt.
