Button Boots!
Posted on December 9th, 2007 by shoesense under Boots, Dolce & Gabbana Shoes, Fendi Shoes, Marc Jacobs ShoesI’m opening up a question from one of our readers, who is desperate to find these boots:
(as seen in the original context here).
I’m afraid I couldn’t be of much help. The only thing I could do is go hunting for beautiful button-embellished shoes, and hope one of them will strike her fancy. Buttons are a wonderful embellishment on shoes if used wisely; here are some of my finds:
- Frye “Adrienne” boots, already a bestseller, and for a good reason–they’re beautiful, and they look comfy, too. $398 at Piperlime.
- Dolce & Gabbana dark brown button boots, $800 at Overstock.com (that’s 43% off, but sizes are limited):
- Gorgeous Fendi high-heel suede boots with patent trim and brass button details, in dark brown, $795 at Barney’s (the all-leather version is just $500 at eLuxury):
- Duo “Bordeaux” Boots (in black leather)–stylish and custom-made to fit your calves; £129 at Duo Boots:
- Gabriella Rocha “Romina” button boots, $150 at Zappos:
- Type Z “Merengue” button boots with metallic leather trim, $225 at Zappos:
- Cesare Paciotti military-inspired boots, $928 at Zappos:
- Marc Jacobs suede and leather knee-high boots with the famous conical heel, $1400 at Net-a-porter (also available in a mid-calf version for $1,135):
- Tory Burch patent button boots, $545 at Shopbop:
You can go vintage, in which case I particularly love these sexy velvet Victorian boots , ca. 1880(unworn, no less!):
It’s a shame that during this research I didn’t really find anything that looked like the boots that started all this, in order to answer our reader’s question. Perhaps one of our savvy readers can help?

I left this response in the Shoe Help forum, but I’ll stick it in this thread, too.
It’s the Miz Mooz Astor boot, and you can pick it up for $200 at Shoe Parlor.

I see this, but they don’t seem like the same boots–the buttons on the Miz Mooz are smaller than the ones in the picture, plus there are no straps on the original one. Oh well! Perhaps one of these choices will work out for her. Or for me, for that matter!

Those boots in the original picture may be Steve Madden Kelton style. See here: http://www.zappos.com/n/multi_view.cgi?product_id=7392624&color_id=216&view=multi
