Doc Martens are supposed to be in the midst of a minor comeback but those aren’t the lace-up boots I’m talking about today. Although lace-up boots take cues from the 19th century, the country, old-fashioned feel has been traded in for modern details and stacked platforms.

On fall 2009 runways, labels like Chloé, Alexander Wang & Marc by Marc Jacobs took advantage of the versatility of lace-up boots. Some boots added a rustic touch while others completed edgier looks.
When you’re having one of your more demure days, hang up those Over-The-Knee Boots & get all tied up with these boots! They look great when paired with jeans, dresses…whatever!
