Now before you go pulling out your credit cards there are a few pieces of advice to follow when purchasing boots on sale. Buyers beware! Sale can either mean that the boots are on sale because they are duds (bad fabrication, uncomfortable, too pricey for the actual quality) or purely because there was an overstock (a.k.a.: the buyer bought too many of a super fabulous boot). Follow these 3 EASY tips to find the STUDS v. duds:
1. Buy Online! Why? Simple. Buying your boots online allows you to take the time to compare sale prices on different sites. If you find your next favorite boot go ahead and put your size in a shopping cart. In another window open your browser and search the specific boots looking to make sure that no other site is offering it at a better sales price Don't forget to take into account shipping and a return policy! The site with the lower price might have higher shipping and no return policy so be sure to take into account!
2. Go faux? No! Take a look at the fabrication. Synthetic boots will naturally have a lower beginning price point. Therefore if you find a like style in synthetic for say $40 versus leather at $90 go for the leather. You don't have to go faux on sale! Why not? Overtime your leather will wear better and will resist scratches and scuffs slightly better than real leather.
3. Read the reviews! Prior to purchasing look at how many reviews does the boot have? How many stars? Sure it may look super cute but if half of the reviews talk about how uncomfortable they find their new boot then it's time to look at other options!
Please also DON'T FORGET: when you receive the boot in the mail check to make sure they have not been worn (no marks on the sole or abnormal scuffs). Take my advice and you can find new love in the forms of boots for the remainder of winter. Here are some great boots out there now for sale under $100!
