Even when it's 100 degrees with 50% humidity, it's not too hot to wear Tramper Moccasins. Two ladies spotted this week wearing them with dresses and shorts. They looked unusually cool in this heat. Continue reading

I unearthed the designer of one pair of boots by randomly meeting a woman wearing the same brand. I like to talk to strangers about boots and then take pictures of them with my Canon point-and-shoot. Hey - at least I'm not on the street selling crack to kids. Continue reading

I have mixed emotions over the Phi FW2010 boot influenced by the Hardrige-Colette Boot of 2009. I'm happy that I predicted the style and upset that it wasn't what I imagined. Continue reading

I love these tan riding boots from Spain. This is an older post I wrote a few weeks ago and saved as a draft because I've been searching for the designer. I haven't had any luck, so now I'm posting hoping that the OverU woman sees my post and calls me. Continue reading

At some point in February, I became weary of women pairing their boots with skinny jeans or leggings. I understand better than most that the boots are the icing on the outfit and have to be shown off at all costs, but I needed a change!! That's why this woman was a breath of fresh air for me. As you can see from her winter wardrobe and the ugly piles of snow on the ground - oh, wait - that's just overflowing garbage - it's been a while since I took this picture. I've seen many, many beautiful women and... Continue reading

I just found these Hardrige & colette Boots on a website called Definitive Touch, a blog for men's fashion. I can't tell you what I would do to a man walking by me in these boots. It's illegal in all states and bad for my reputation but if he was a small man with small feet I'd try to knock him unconscious and snatch em off. Buyers of these boots beware: When walking the streets of NY do not run in to the Boot-Obsessed Eccentric. She is not opposed to wearing men's clothing, least of all their boots. I think...
