Spring Must-Have: The Desert Boot

What’s a desert boot? Just one of the hottest footwear options you can choose for your feet this spring. With a lace-up front that reaches past the ankles, you’ll be making a statement no matter what you choose to wear along with them.

Don’t imagine these new desert boots in just leather, either. These combat classics have been reworked in some interesting options: canvas, waxed cotton, and calfskin can all be found during spring 2007.

While the shoes have a white sole that makes a statement, the slimmed-down version in a neutral tan are a new classic in the making. Even if you’ll be rockin’ your desert boots far removed from their intended purpose, they’ll still look right at home. Find yours at Marc Jacobs in San Francisco, or by calling the shop at (415) 362-6500.

If traditional isn’t really your thing, try a pair of Raf Simons’ desert boots with a perforated design and an inner layer of contrasting suede. You can buy at Raf Simons boots at Seven New York in New York City or by calling (646) 654-0156.
