Kourtney and Kim got together for a midday lunch date at a friend’s house. They then went their separate ways with Kourtney hitting a few stores to pick up a gift for a friend’s birthday party later that afternoon.

Kourtney Kardashian heads to a friend’s birthday party after going shopping and lunching with sister Kim in Beverly Hills, California on January 27, 2012

For that relatively low-key day, Kourtney Kardashian brought out her pair of Koolaburra Jaden stiletto biker boots which was first spotted on her sometime late last year. These 5-inch stiletto boots aren’t what most of us would choose to wear on a kickin’ it back day but for someone who’s used to wearing sky-high heels like Kourtney, these probably feel like fuzzy slippers to her.

Well, these boots are lined with soft and luxurious shearling so maybe they do have a bit of a fuzzy slipper-like feel to them.

Just a little bit though because as you can see, these biker boots look nothing like fuzzy slippers. In fact, they could even be considered as lookalikes of the Burberry shearling-lined buckled booties which as many of you may know, are only the most sought-after Burberry boots since the Fall 2010 collection.

Koolaburra Jaden stiletto biker boots, $494.95

Wish we could say that these boots are look-for-less versions of the Burberrys but at nearly $500, sadly, they are not. They do however currently qualify for a 15% discount at Shoebuy‘s once a year winter clearance sale. Shop for these boots at Shoebuy, use the coupon code “SAVE15” at checkout and you’ll get your 15% discount.

If you can wait until Saturday, you just might be able to score these boots at a higher discount because Shoebuy almost always holds a 20% off sale on the weekends!

But nowadays, thanks to a growing demand and a general acknowledgement that well, women do come in different sizes, we’re starting to see more and more choices of booth widths.

It felt like they just didn’t exist!

But nowadays, thanks to a growing demand and a general acknowledgement that well, women do come in different sizes, we’re starting to see more and more choices of booth widths. Many shoe brands have expanded their inventory to include not only wide calf boots but also extra wide calf boots, with some companies even establishing themselves as wide width boot specialists.

What are these shoe brands? Fitzwell, Naturalizer, Ros Hommerson and Lumiani to name a few. UK-based shoe brand DUO is one such company that markets themselves as wide boot specialists and websites dedicated just to wide calf boots are quickly following suit.

Plenty of online retailers have also made looking for wide calf boots much easier; all you have to do is select the “wide” and “extra wide” categories and you’re all set to shop.

Suddenly, it feels like we have more wide calf boot options than we know what to do with. And because of this glut in supply, prices for wide calf boots have become very competitive, very reasonable and sometimes, even downright cheap.

So it was pretty easy for us to round up this list of a dozen wide calf boots that are all priced under $200. We could’ve even limited ourselves to under $100 because the choices were that plenty! But to show a variation in styles, we upped the price range to $200.

Here they are arranged from least to most expensive, 12 under $200 wide calf boots that are sleek and stylish:

1. Diba All Aboard high heel knee high boot, $99.36 (was $168.95) at Endless

2. Chinese Laundry Nostalgia flat over the knee boot, $99.95 at Nordstrom

3. Naughty Monkey Lots of Laughs wedge knee high boot, $99.95 at Endless

4. Fitzwell Lynx high heel knee high boot, $115.00 at Zappos

1. Sbicca Haylen suede flat knee high boot, $120.00 at Endless

2. Me Too Lorena high heel knee high boot, $129.00 at Endless

3. Fitzwell Mentor riding boot, $159.00 at Zappos

4. Enzo Angiolini Sten mid-calf boot, $159.95 at Nordstrom

1. Lumiani Lindsay2 riding boot, $169.00 at Zappos

2. David Tate Ranger knee high boot, $169.95 at Shoebuy

3. MICHAEL Michael Kors Bromley over the knee boot, $197.95 at Nordstrom

4. Sofft Casoria flat boot, $199.95 at Nordstrom

Our sister site YourNextShoes has already spotted Charlize in metallic silver Versace pump booties, in taupe Christian Dior Cavaliere buckled boots and in grey Corso Como Christian suede peep toe booties!

Well, we can add another one to the list — and state “Charlize Theron is a grey bootie fanatic” as a fact — with the South African actress’s most recent spot at Nobu in London, England.

For dinner that evening, she wore a navy blue fringed sweater over a black t-shirt and jeans finished off with you guessed it, grey-colored booties:

Charlize Theron leaves Nobu restuarant in London, England on August 23, 2011

Charlize’s booties look grey in the pictures above but they can also look nude-colored under certain lighting:

You can see how its color changes in these two close-up shots:

Gucci Spring 2011 woven calfskin booties, $1,980.00 (sold out)

AFAIK, Gucci only released one color of these woven calfskin booties, although Nicki Minaj was seen wearing the dark brown color which was not seen anywhere or on anyone else. You might remember that Nicki Minaj also has the knee-high version of these; she wore them to the Samsung Infuse 4G launch event in May of this year.

The Gucci woven calfskin booties are now sold out everywhere so even if you felt like spending two grand on these, they are unfortunately unavailable for purchase. But if you’re looking for a less expensive alternative, these 3 woven bootie options still are!

These are all from Vince Camuto which is one of our top go-to brands for summer-appropriate booties. Two of these are already marked down at Endless; you can get the third one at 10% off when you use the coupon code “YOURNEXTSHOES” at Shoebuy.

1. Vince Camuto Adita woven strap sandal, $70.95 (was $129.00) at Endless
2. Vince Camuto Galena knotted strap open toe bootie, $72.85 (was $128.95) at Endless
3. Vince Camuto Amelia basket weave bootie, $148.95 at Shoebuy

Hilary Duff’s Chanel brown leather boots caught our eye yesterday and today, it’s older sister Haylie Duff’s be-fringed brown boots:

Hilary Duff’s Chanel brown leather boots caught our eye yesterday and today, it’s older sister Haylie Duff’s be-fringed brown boots:

Haylie Duff leaves after a shopping spree at Barneys New York in Beverly Hills, California on August 18, 2011

Haylie Duff was spotted wearing these boots while shopping at Barneys in Beverly Hills with Ashley Tisdale yesterday afternoon. It seems like Haylie Duff has picked up some fashion pointers from Ashley T. because her boots look like something Ashley herself would wear too!

In fact, Ashley HAS worn boots like these, except they’re taller, have more fringes and don’t have the wedge heel.

Wait — you say you didn’t notice the wedge heel? That’s because it’s being covered by the fringes. Here it is up close:

Seeing as how Ashley Tisdale owns a very similar pair of boots, it was pretty easy to identify these. Haylie Duff’s boots are these Koolaburra Savannity boots which feature a 2 1/4″ wedge heel and a two-layer fringe detail:

Koolaburra Savannity boots in chestnut

I’m actually not a big fan of ugg boots with wedge heels but I guess these ones are okay because the fringe covers them anyway.

Plenty of e-tailers carry Koolaburra boots but we recommend you shop for these Koolaburra Savannity boots at Shoebuy. With our sister site YourNextShoes‘ special coupon code “YOURNEXTSHOES“ you can get $30 off on these $299.95 boots, which is a nice 10% discount on your purchase.

Other places that have these boots on sale now are Endless and DNA Footwear. No word until when they’re going to hold their sales but better not hold off on buying these too long — colors are already limited and sizes are going fast!

The 29-year-old entertainer was wearing an outfit consisting of a black tank top, black leather shorts and fur boots, which is also an outfit many people would categorize as a ”fashion don’t”.

The 29-year-old entertainer was wearing an outfit consisting of a black tank top, black leather shorts and fur boots, which is also an outfit many people would categorize as a ”fashion don’t”.

Check out pictures of Beyonce’s um, “inter-seasonal” outfit:

Beyonce Knowles heads into an office building in London, England on June 27, 2011

I’m finding it hard to fault Beyonce for this fashion slip-up when she’s all smiley in these pictures. If she’s looking happy and comfortable in what she’s wearing, we can’t entirely call it a fashion no-no, can we?

Besides, those fur boots look ridiculously cozy and comfy — they’re something that I would try to get away with wearing in as many places and on as many events as much as I can.

Beyonce has also been known to wear mukluks so these mukluk-like boots she’s wearing in the pictures above aren’t really anything new for her:

Beyonce’s charcoal grey mukluk booties

It hasn’t been confirmed if Beyonce’s boots ARE by Manitobah Mukluks or not, but they do look very similar to these styles that are currently available online:

Manitobah Mukluks Half Mukluk Fur Boot, $190.00

Manitobah Mukluks Short Wrap Vibram Sole Mukluk, $389.95

These are not exactly like Beyonce’s (her boots have a different boot shaft and no beading on top of the vamp) but they’re pretty close!

You can get the first pair of mukluk boots at Endless. The second pair is available at Shoebuy.

The 18-year-old singer and globetrotter was spotted taking a breather in Sydney, shopping, relaxing and taking in the sights and sounds a few days before kicking off a series of concerts in the Land Down Under.

The 18-year-old singer and globetrotter was spotted taking a breather in Sydney, shopping, relaxing and taking in the sights and sounds a few days before kicking off a series of concerts in the Land Down Under.

Here’s Miley out and about with her entourage in Sydney, Australia:

Miley Cyrus and her band mates leave their hotel and head to lunch at Woolloomooloo Wharf in Sydney, Australia on June 18, 2011

Miley Cyrus’s baby plaid grunge shirt + military jacket + boyfriend jeans outfit is confusing me but hey, that’s Miley and I’m going to leave it at that.

What I’d really like to focus on of course are those CLOG BOOTS, a trend which I thought fashion had already given up since spotting them on Jessica Simpson over three months ago.

Close-ups of Miley Cyrus’s clog boots

Clog. Boots.

Do you think this trend will continue on until fall/winter of this year?

If you think they will, you can get Miley’s Koolaburra Lucinda Deluxe clog boot in black at the discounted price of $241.91 at Endless:

More sizes of this boot in this color are available at Singer22 but they’re listed at the original price of $297.00.

If you want them in another color, then I’ve got the best news for you: you can get the nude, chestnut and grey colors of these boots at Shoebuy for $274.95. And with our sister site’s special coupon code “YourNextShoes“, you can avail of these boots at that site at a nice 10% discount.

I wonder if they also talked about Jessica Simpson’s upcoming wedding in November? Anyway, check out the chic business outfit Ashlee put together for the client-lawyer meeting:

The singing sisters apparently had a lot of legal matters to settle because they attended what ended up being a nine-hour-long meeting at their lawyer’s office.

I wonder if they also talked about Jessica Simpson’s upcoming wedding in November? Anyway, check out the chic business outfit Ashlee put together for the client-lawyer meeting:

Ashlee Simpson pays a visit to their lawyer’s office in Century City, California on May 25, 2011

I love how fashionable the definition of “business attire” is among the people in Hollywood. I mean, how often can you wear Alaia lace-up peep toe booties to a work-related meeting and actually get away with it?

Ashlee’s Alaia booties are the ultimate in chicness and I know that many stylish people are dying to get their hands on it (or should I say, dying to get their feet in it?). But despite their $1,805.00 price tag and how few retailers actually stocked them, Ashlee’s Alaia booties have long since sold out.

The $1,805.00 and no longer available Alaia lace-front peep toe ankle boots

But don’t despair – other lower-priced shoe labels seem to be on an Alaia kick lately and have started taking, um, “inspiration” from the Tunisian-born designer.

One of them is Sam Edelman who came out with this Kellan wedge which you can clearly see where it got its design inspiration from:

Sam Edelman Kellan lace-up wedges, $225.00 at Zappos

Another is this Carma bootie from Vince Camuto which would have been the perfect low-cost alternative if only it had a stiletto heel:

Vince Camuto Carma cutout leather booties, $95.95 (was $138.00) at Shoebuy

But I think I’m liking the thicker stacked heel on these Vince Camuto booties anyways because it makes them look more stable and actually more wearable than the Alaias for me.

If your heart is really set on the Alaias, you can shop for similar Alaia booties and other Alaia shoes at discounted prices at Bluefly.

While searching for Brooklyn Decker’s Dolce & Gabbana mesh and lace peep toe booties a couple of days ago, I came across these other mesh and suede lace-up booties also from Dolce & Gabbana:

While searching for Brooklyn Decker’s Dolce & Gabbana mesh and lace peep toe booties a couple of days ago, I came across these other mesh and suede lace-up booties also from Dolce & Gabbana:

Dolce & Gabbana mesh and suede lace-up booties

Thes seriously sexy mesh and suede mash-up on these fierce booties made them very unforgettable and left an indelible impression on me.

So when I saw these Two Lips booties while shoe shopping online today, you KNOW what these instantly reminded me of! The mesh, the suede, the lace-up front — it’s all very Dolce & Gabbana. If it weren’t for the bigger holes in the mesh fabric, I could easily mistake these for the D&Gs at first glance:

Two Lips Attitude Booties

But that’s just at first glance. The slightly thicker platform, the fatter suede shoelaces and yes, the larger holes in the mesh fabric on these Two Lips booties completely alter the original D&G design! You know that we’re always game for lower-cost options and look-for-less alternatives here on Boots 4 You but I wish Two lips had at least used a finer mesh for their version.

As for the prices, the Dolce & Gabbana booties are $760.00 (discounted down from the original $950.00 price) while the Two Lips booties are $69.97 (also discounted down from $99.95). I guess with that huge price difference, we can accept a few tweaks here and there.

The Dolce & Gabbana mesh and suede lace-up booties are available at Bluefly. You can shop for the Two Lips Attitude Booties at Endless and Shoebuy.

But now that we’re officially a little over two weeks into spring — and much too late to be holding on to last season’s boots — we figured that NOW is the perfect time feature these shoes.

So even though we’re ...Read more »]]> Our sister site Your Next Shoes already wrote about these shoes we’re featuring today way back in January but that was when they were desperate for new spring shoe styles and we were still reveling in all the gorgeous fall/winter boots.

But now that we’re officially a little over two weeks into spring — and much too late to be holding on to last season’s boots — we figured that NOW is the perfect time feature these shoes.

So even though we’re a little late in writing about them here on Boots 4 You compared to most blogs, we think your disappointment with us will disappear once you lay eyes on these wondrous Whirl wedge booties from Carlos by Carlos Santana:

Carlos by Carlos Santana Whirl wedge booties, $119.95

Here’s our peace offering, in the form of these lovely wear-with-all-your-spring-and-summer-outfits wedge booties.

The Carlos by Carlos Santana Whirl wedge booties feature a snake-embossed leather upper accented with tonal patent leather on the ankle strap, soles and along the back of the heel. You can adjust the buckled ankle strap according to how you want it to fit but it’s that sexy back zipper that’s the real entry of this shoe!

A word of warning though: the height on that covered wedge heel is a staggering 4 inches so if you’re not comfortable with that, we suggest you leave it to the pros. Not only because that’s a HIGH heel to teeter on but also because these wedge booties don’t have any platform sole whatsoever to help balance out the heel height.

But if you are willing to tolerate pain for fashion (and study shows that 60% of women are), then here are a few places where we recommend you get the Carlos by Carlos Santana Whirl wedge booties:

1. Shoebuy - Shoebuy is having their once a year spring sale right now so here’s your chance to get these wedge booties (and more!) at 15% off. Use the coupon code “SPRING15” at checkout to receive your discount.
2. Shoes – They have these wedge booties listed at their original price ($120.00) but if you use our sister site’s coupon code “YOURNEXTSHOES” at checkout, you get 15% off on them!
3. 6pm – They only have the black color and very limited sizes of these wedge booties, but if you’re a size 7.5 or a 9.5, you can get the Whirls for just $84.00 (30% off).

Happy shoe shopping (and we hope you’ve forgiven us)!

Why? Well because in them, Shenae is wearing an outfit that looks eerily similar to an outfit that Megan herself wore 3 months ago. So pardon the back-to-back Megan Fox blog posts but I think you have GOT to see this:

Why? Well because in them, Shenae is wearing an outfit that looks eerily similar to an outfit that Megan herself wore 3 months ago. So pardon the back-to-back Megan Fox blog posts but I think you have GOT to see this:

Megan Fox arrives at the L’Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on January 26, 2011

Here’s Megan Fox’s outfit. She was on her way to the L’Ermitage Hotel in these pictures. Megan obviously loves comfortable casual outfits and this particular one imprinted itself in my mind because it’s one of her top “just thrown together” looks. Megan also wore a near-similar look to a Grammy after party but this grey sweater + black shorts + black over the knee socks + wedge booties combo preceded it by a couple of weeks.

And here’s Shenae Grimes’s outfit:

Shenae Grimes gets a flat tire on her Toyota Prius fixed at a gas station in West Hollywood, California on April 5, 2011

Shenae had some car trouble yesterday and the paps caught up with the 90210 star at a gas station in West Hollywood. Check out what Shenae is wearing: a grey sweater, black shorts, black over the knee socks and mid-calf boots!

Megan’s “thrown together” look suddenly looks polished compared to Shenae’s loose sweater, cuffed shorts and military boots but overall, it’s the same outfit.

But who do you think wore this look better - Megan Fox or Shenae Grimes?

Either way, it’s a cute way to wear booties and mid-calf boots. It’s also something to try this spring/summer especially if you’re one of those people whose extremities (arms and legs) easily get cold!

Try these socks and boots with your shorts and shirts:

1. Missoni Zigzag Above the Knee Socks, $58.00
2. Ozone Thigh Zone, $27.95 (2 pairs)
3. Falke Striggings Ribbed Over the Knee Socks, $39.00

1. Steve Madden Troopa lace-up boot, $74.98 to $99.95
2. Miz Mooz Hannah motorcycle boot, $79.97
3. OTBT Astoria motorcycle boot, $123.75
