My favorite things - Boot Straps

Boots. Tall or short. Flats or heels. Over the knee or ankle. If you know me at all, you know it's never "should I wear boots or not"....it's which boots should I wear?

We've been over my love affair with boots...my slight obsession...recently we even partnered with Wolverine to help you get into your OWN pair of leather love!

But that is not what this post is about. This is about something that I ADORE, something that makes boot wearing just a little bit easier. Something that keeps me and my boots in top notch fashion.


What is it?

I thought you would never ask! :)

Boot straps.
Yes, boot straps.

About two years ago I heard they existed. I was NOT about to revisit the 80's stirrup type pants invention...don't even pretend you don't know what I'm talking about! A kind of equestrian jodhpurs type strap. I hated that feeling under my foot then, and I was pretty sure I would hate it now!

When I FINALLY found what I was looking for in JUNE last year, boot season was pretty much over...drat. But I began to eagerly anticipate fall. 

Let me tell you. I wear them ALL the time. 

Skinny jeans, stay skinny with these. No baggy knees. No struggle to tuck your pants into your boots. None. Nada. Deep knee bends are no match for the strap!

Boot Straps

Socks up. Pants down. Straps on. Boots on. Viola. Amazing.

The particular ones I found are called Hollywood Boot Straps, you can find them on Amazon. And honestly? They are one thing that I absolutely can not live without!

Do yourself a favor, buy these. Then come back and tell me how awesome I am for introducing you to a fabulous invention. You're welcome.

p.s. I'm still looking for your "ask Lisa" questions...about anything! So let me know if you have something you just "need to know"!

  1. Awesome! The other day I was considering resorting to my dear daughters mitten clips -- you know, the ones that clip the mittens to the jacket - just so I could keep my jeans down. Off to buy some of the boot straps!!!
