Fall is approaching and I want a new pair of black boots. I want something that will look gentlemanly enough for my blazers and long coats, yet tough enough to wear with my new Lewis Leathers Perfecto. If I can't find the right pair, I'm sure there is something in my closet that will suffice, but where's the fun in that?

The Prada boots ooze elegance and probably are the least trendy. Nice, but are they special?

The Buttero style seem the most practical and are priced reasonably, but seem to lack some sort of glamour, or is it just the "fashion label" that is missing?

The Wolverine 1000 Mile boots have just arrived at Leffot and they are gorgeous. But, they have a "working man" aesthetic that I am not totally sure I can pull off. The 1000 mile boots are inspired by a 125 year old style by the time honored American company and are being reintroduced this Fall 2009. You know I love a story.

The Jil Sander model may be a bit too severe. These will have to be tried on. Will skinny jeans even fit over those?

Alexander McQueen might be perfect or may just look too much like combat boots.

Another trip to Barneys NY and Leffot is in order.

Any votes?
