Boots, boots for travelers

I went to the horse show last Sunday and I found these boots. I saw them glowing in cherry red across the exhibit hall and had an instant image of myself walking through Paris in them. Max Weber Italia makes great boots in Macerata, in the arch of Italy’s boot. The workmanship is wonderful and the leathers are really high quality. The color chain made me moan.

So you buy this short boot so that when you are wearing trousers or jeans you don’t have a bulky shaft to deal with.

Then you but these matching gaiters for when you wear a skirt or need extra warmth or protection. You can wear them with anything to protect your legs when you hike, too.

When they are together they look like my favorite riding boots, the ones with laces at the arch to make them fit perfectly. I wish they were showing them on the website in the greens and fauns and reds, but they aren’t.

If you don’t like the laces, buy this boot.

If you don’t believe my estimation of the quality, look at this fashion boot made by Max Weber for Chanel. Chanel knows.

The toe cap and cuff are pearlized, which is just a little too much the lady to suit me, but they are beautiful. I expect they are a bit pricier, especially if you buy them at Chanel. You, however, can buy the short boot and matching gaiters for Euro 210.

The website, a rather modest affair, is at Max Weber Italia and although it is written in Italian, stivaleria means boot seller, so go have a look about.

Throw that jockey in here, too. Fashion victim? Bloody murder.
