Very happy with the La Canadienne Jenny pair that I just got. I'd been looking for the perfect "one and only" black boot for a while. I can attest that they're waterproof-- they made it through Hurricane Sandy!

I saw them at anthropologie a few days ago. You can look them up online and use the "find it in store" tool to see if yours has them too. They are called the "ridgecrest" boots on anthro's site.
I have these and love them! They are my most comfortable boots. I think they are true to size.Last edited by AtlantaMom; 11-01-2012 at 06:49 PM.

I tried on a pair of Arche Delor boots in store the other day nd have been drooling and dreaming about them ever since. They were (gulp) $450 (ridiculously soft pebbled leather, Made in France, gorgeous). I'm such a frugal shopper, I can't imagine dropping that kind of cash on one pair of shoes so I didn't get them. I'm also in the market for a one and only pair. Maybe they'll go on sale, or maybe I'll make that my one and only holiday/anniversary request! Has anyone worn Arche before?
(PS They are this ankle boot in black, size 39 or 40, or maybe this mid-calf boot - if you find either one on sale let me know!)Last edited by citymama; 11-01-2012 at 07:04 PM.

[QUOTE=firstbaby;3634874]I have the Jane in Redwood and Shirley Riding in black. I like having a black boot, but I LOVE the Janes.
How's your Shirley Riding boot? I've been looking for riding boots and that's the one I'm contemplating on getting but not sure about fit especially calf and length of the boots since I'm short and have big calves.

Jenrub - I really like the Shirleys. The only thing I don't *love* about them is the black color - it is more of a faded black and I would prefer a sharper black if that makes sense. I don't have skinny calves and the Shirleys are great. I thought I would wear the top folded over as I've seen pics on line but it looked horrible on me. So they stay up

I'm looking for long boots as well....Jen, you work in a hospital, right? Are these appropriate for wearing to work? I'm wondering if the riding boot look is appropriate to wear to work in a patient care/outpatient setting where I may be doing patient interviews? Originally Posted by jent
