For over a year now I have been lusting over the Stuart Weitzman Highland boot. However, spending upwards of $900 (after tax and shipping) seemed a bit excessive. I know I preach buying quality over quantity but with all the travel I have planned, $900 was not in the budget. So like I usually do when I can’t afford something, I search. My first stop was Ebay, however they were the same price there as they were in the store so I moved on. I then looked and looked for similar styles, only to be very disappointed by the quality, shaft height, or price. I didn’t want a $50 boot that would only last one season so I grew frustrated when all I could find were $50-$100 boots or $1000+ boots. There had to be something in the middle that was simple and a true over-the-knee. I am not kidding you when I say I searched for at least a month for something only to turn up empty handed. But then… I found it!

Ted & Muffy is described as a luxury British heritage footwear line. I had not heard of them yet so was very intrigued by their selection. After doing research and comparing them with other well-known luxury brands I was was really impressed. Not only was the quality of the boots similar but the price was exactly what I had been looking for. And better yet, they had a boot called The Empress, that looked almost identical to the boot I had in my mind for the past year. I really believe, if you are patient it always works out (and often times better than you could have imagined). I know we are talking about a boot but I take my shoes very seriously and this was absolutely the boot I had been waiting for.

Now the true test, once it arrived in the mail would it be as perfect in person? Would the suede be beautiful? Would it be comfortable? Would it look like a $1000K boot for a fraction of the cost? And the answer: yes, yes, yes, and yes! The boot is an absolute stunner in person! I have been stopped numerous times in the street and asked, “who makes that boot?” And being someone who likes to be different and not have what everyone else has I proudly say, Ted & Muffy! I can’t speak highly enough about the boot or the brand, all I can do is recommend you trying them for yourself! The boot arrived really fast so if you are worried about shipping from overseas I wouldn’t think twice!
