There’s a lot to love about boots. They can be worn casually to spice up an outfit or formally to, well again, spice up an outfit. They’re also very durable and can stand up to wear and tear. Often times, they start to look better the more worn they get. When considering a good pair of boots, price isn’t the only deciding factor. But let’s be real, if you pay $20 for a pair of boots, as soon as you put them on, you have to begin counting down the days left until they evaporate into dust.
