Wanted: A Pair of Reasonably Priced Boots

Okay blogger-land friends, I need your help!  We all know that I have a slight serious shoe addiction, an addiction that I LOVE to feed often. 

Hunter Boots from Nodstrom

Meet my fabulous birthday present from back in September.  I absolutely LOVED these Hunter boots, that is, until I tried them on.  Between the stiff rubber and the placement of the seams in the sock inserts they killed my heels.  It would have been blister central people.

So, finally, I decided to give up on these lovely boots and return them.  {sigh}

Of course, I already had a back-up shoe in mind......

Frye Melissa Button Boots

.......riding boots.  Well, until I saw the price tag of these beauties {$318.00.....ummmm, no thank you).  I think if I spent $318 on these Hubs might divorce me or commit me to a mental hospital for my addiction.  So, I started browsing around trying to find a similar pair that I like that has a much more reasonable price tag but unfortunately I always come back to these.

So, my friends, do any of you have any suggestions for a pretty pair of boots that are a.) reasonably priced, b.) comfy, and c.) fabulous?!  Help a girl out!

Thanks and have a wonderful day!
