It's never "should I wear boots or not"....it's which boots should I wear?
Some of you are very aware of my love affair with boots. I am passionate about them. This is one of the few privileges of living in a cold climate....boot season starts early and ends late. However I'm fairly sure, if I lived in a warm climate I would be the crazy lady wearing boots in 90 degrees. True story.
Why do I love boots so much? I think boots exude their own style. They add a certain "je ne sais quoi" to an ensemble. And when you can find a pair that compliments who YOU are? Well, that is a beautiful thing!
Wolverine, is an American founded company which began in 1883 right here in MY city, Grand Rapids, MI. They were founded on one man's belief that great things were possible...a motto I try to embrace each day. It really is a true success story of a man who wanted to make good products for good people. Simple. Amazing.
You may know this company better by some of their brands... CAT, Harley Davidson, Merrell, 1000 mile, 1883 Collections, Hush Puppies and Patagonia. Not names you usually associate with high end fashion...
...until now.
CAT has a new line of boots called Legendary RAW that made me swoon...seriously. And since they asked me to review a pair...I have rarely worn anything else. And y'all have seen my boot collection...THIS is a very big deal.
My favorites? The LIV boots in Iron. The are fantastic! Comfortable. Fashionable. Easily wearable from a dress to skinny jeans. Everytime I have worn them, someone makes a comment about my "cool boots"!
This particular pair debuted in the Autumn/Winter 2010 season, it was the FIRST shoe style in their Women's Legendary RAW collection. I love how RAW it is...but yet terribly feminine! What does CAT say about this design (and I LOVE this - I think it fits perfectly):
Cat Women are strong, confident, tough and independent- they blaze their own path through the world and move the earth through their passions. LIV empowers them to do that.
But that's just one pair from their new line...you have to check out the rest on their site!
But wait...there's more!
Not only has Wolverine has offered to give away 35% off discount coupons to these LIV boots from Wolverine Company Store to the first 50, yes 50, of you who leave a comment on this post! But they are also GIFTING this sweet bag! Seriously awesome.
Here's the deets.
- go to the Wolverine site and tell me the boots or shoes you - or someone you love - canNOT live without, and post the link in the comments.
- "like" the Wolverine Company store on Facebook for an extra entry - you will only be eligible for ONE 35% off coupon, but this will count towards the bag giveaway
- Make sure you leave your name and an email to contact you, or we can't get you the coupon code or let you know if you WIN!
***DEADLINE!! Friday December 30 at midnight. SO HURRY!***
** Secret bonus....word on the street is that they will be giving away CAT boots in the future to their Facebook Fans! WOOT!
If you want to choose one pair of boots this season...and you are not what you would consider yourself to be a "fashionista"...the LIV boots are a great place to get started. They have the fashion factor...but they are SO well made..they hit the function factor too!
Now, shoo, go...tell me your must haves...and Good Luck!
xoxo,
lisa

ReplyDeleteMy Wife has been in the market for a new pair of boots, but has had trouble settling on a pair. After your review & seeing the styles that are available, you better believe that I'll be headed down to the Wolverine Company Store to visit my buddy Brian Cousins.
