If you ask me, the best thing to shop for is shoes. Of course, I love to shop for anything and everything. I basically do it for a living. But shopping for shoes has always had a special place in my heart. My love affair with shoes has gone on for years. Ever since I was back-to-school shopping in elementary school, I would drag my mom through department stores, always starting with shoes. Now thatfall is around the corner, I'm getting thatback-to-school nostalgia and thought, What better time to indulge myself with a little shoe shopping for fall? When I think of fall shoes, the first thing that comes to mind is, of course, boots. Boots are the backbone of a great fall outfit, and with so many options out there on the market, I decided to roll my sleeves up and get to digging for the best of the best for this upcoming season. Nordstrom, Reformation, Shopbop, H&M, and DSW came to the rescue. I found Chelsea boots, knee-high boots, rain boots, and ankle boots galore.
You can thank me later—take a peek at the 30 chic boots that are sitting in my cart as we speak.

Vamp. The vamp is the lower part of the boot, and ideally it's cut from a single piece of leather. It comes together in a series of steps.

Vamps – Also known as uppers, vamps are the top portion of the shoe that stretches from the toe to wherever the shoe ends on your foot. Depending on the style and shape of the particular shoe you're wearing, the vamp may look totally different or cover different parts of the foot.
Throat: The main opening of a shoe extending from the vamp to the ankle. Tip: An additional piece of leather covering the toe of a shoe. May be in several different shapes or patterns.
Its standout feature is the use of stingray fish skin exotic leather, known for its durability, unique texture, and distinct patterns that add a touch of luxury to the design. The genuine leather used for the boot ensures a superior fit and style, promising both comfort and elegance.
To see if you have enough room, slide your foot forward so your toes are just touching the end of the unlaced boot. In this position, you should have a finger's width (about ½") between the base of your heel and the boot.
A quality product like Loctite Shoe Glue is best for any shoe because its flexible formulation bonds a variety of materials. In fact, it's the glue of choice for many repair shops. Since it bonds, seals, and repairs, it saves you time and money.
Shoe Goo has mostly positive reviews from people who use it for sports and recreation, like running or skateboarding shoes, since it's also supposed to add extra traction. It's also great for fixing small holes, and is completely water resistant.
