Red and black boots. What could be more striking or perfect? Of course, as usual, the shoe world mocks me with its complete lack of availability or imagination regarding these two colors together. I used to have a pair of black boots with a red sole that I gave away and forever regret. Trying to find anything in this combo has proved difficult, but this is kind of what I mean (though the toe is too square and the look overall more severe than I'd like):
Or, ideally, these but in a more delicate women's version:
As they stand, not only are they men's boots they're too clunky and kick-ass for what I have in mind. But the color is great. I'm not loving the way red gets watered down into dark burgundy in shoes. It makes me wonder if red shoes--true red--just don't sell well. I did covet these for a while, but they're all gone (unless you're a size 36) ...
Boots available at John Fluevog, Zappos, and Infinity Shoes.
