It's the middle of winter, and you're tired of wearing hats and scarves and giant coats and especially, maybe above all, if you have a shoe fetish like some of us (*cough Anne cough*), boots that are boring. Your feet may be warm on the outside, but do they match your insides? Your shoes should reflect your soul; your soul should not be a pair of Uggs. And sometimes it is okay that your shoes will not keep you upright in the snow--because sometimes, practicality must take a back seat to being kind of ridiculously fabulous. And sometimes, fabulousness just falls into your lap and begs to be bought--at only $24 for these seriously, absurdly excellent pleated boots by Abaeté, for Payless, how can you turn them down? Just sashay carefully in icy conditions, please. --Anne
