A random purchase that has been my go-to with the heavy snows we have experienced this winter. Unfortunately, the Kinley booties are only available in black at the Cole Haan online store so you may want to checkout the Cole Haan store in person…or this ebay sale for a size 10 (disclaimer: I am NOT affiliated to the vendor in any way, found the link via a random Google search). A link to the longer, more conventional version here.
My review of the short boots below.
Pros: waterproof (yay, I was very skeptical but they hold up very well!), comfortable, can wear all day long, nice almond color, great quality on leather, flat heels
Cons: the fit at the ankles is not my favorite. Compared to the MK Arley, the ankles in these Kinley are pretty loose and no option to tighten…so your socks will show up, which may be good for some and a deal breaker for others
Material: breathable and waterproof leather (whatever that means) with rubber sole
Fit: true-to-size with room for heavy socks; loose fit at the ankles
Sissi’s Verdict: the store was offering a 50% promo with extra 20% sale coupon at the time of purchase, so the final price was a bargain for the quality and through wear during winter storms, the booties are a definite keeper!
The half-yearly sale is up at Nordstrom…Some items which caught my eye (be still, dear wallet, not buying):
My dear LJ gifted me some fierce booties: the Michael Kors Arley Leather Ankle Boots. They remind me of motorcycle boots, and I love them! I did not own MK shoes prior to these, so I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the boots. If you are thinking of purchasing MK boots, below is a review of the Arlet Ankle boots.
Pros: very comfortable, soft leather, in-the-moment style, hip, flat heels
Cons: the golden MK logo (for some it is good but I have never understood nor liked big logos on shoes)
Verdict: Will keep! Thank you so much dear LJ.
