Ascending Butterfly's 2011 Holidays Buying Guide, Giveaway #11 brought to you by:

DRESS BOOTS!

We've focused on some fantastic cold weather boots this holiday season, but not nearly enough on Dress Boots. I thought today would be a good day to remedy that. I was actively on the look out for a killer pair of Grey Boots so I could pair them with my favorite Kooba bag, and it took awhile, but I found two pairs that not only fit the bill but did so in style. I will focus on one now, and the other very soon.

My instant love of this particular pair is probably very likely because they look like the boot version of a summer shoe I featured earlier this year on Ascending Butterfly. (see my review of the Earthies Veria Shoe HERE).

About Earthies Jasko Boots

Earthies Jasko Boot in Grey (Insert Choir of Boot Angels here!)

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Elaborate folds of brushed suede that wrap from forefoot to shin in lustrous Norwegian elegance.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - A sleek zip-up the back snugly nestles the foot over the contoured footbed

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Exposed platform - Platform Height: 0.87

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Smart 'wellness' heel

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Heel Height: 3.35”

Aren't these GORGEOUS?

 My Take:

As you guys remember heels are usually not the first choice for me after a certain height, (you know fun stuff, a formerly fractured toe, really bad arches, and super high insteps), and Earthies shoes always amaze me with their comfort level at a height that I had already given up on for myself.

These didn't require much of a break in and thanks to the platform and wellness footbed I find wearing them a pleasure!

and I love that I can match them with my favorite bag!

You didn't think I'd forget about you right? Who loves you butterfly?
