Such a needed video. Thank you! Love the intersection between pragmatism and style. The only thing is it would be SO helpful for you to include the “make/model” of the shoes in your video. As someone building their basics (and trying to buy quality) it would be nice to have the info!
Perfect!!! Yes!!! Another video demonstrating true authenticity. Super useful for us out here in the cold ♥️♥️♥️ also I love that you shared the dear Frances boots and your honesty in saying you saved for 3-4 years for them. It helps me to relate!
Now i am SOOOO CURIOUS as to what brand those last (gorgeous) boots are. Love 'em. Sigh... Alyssa, could you possibly do something for people whose feet hurt and need a lot of support? Or, amazing insoles (that i've been looking for for years)...? And is your B-Roll on ths vid current ? You have snow??????
Hi Alyssa! I have been watching you for over 2 years and I GREATLY appreciate your message of 'creativity over consumption." You have been pivotal in helping me downsize and curate my wardrobe to fit in a 200 square foot home! I kept a pair of winter boots, (even though we hope to chase warm weather) and a pair of hiking boots. I also have two pairs of tall boots (brown and black) and short shank boots (brown and black) Thank you for this video! I love the way you show how to style these different kinds of boots. -Michelle
Another delightful video. I was inspired a few years ago by your Dear Frances boots, and after much searching and patience, I found a pair last year 2nd hand 🎉 I never really shopped second hand before starting to watch your videos. Thanks for promoting sustainable shopping ❤
Ahhh, boots my absolute favourite footwear, and I live in a warm to hot climate 10 months out of the year (11 months this year). However, still loving the tips, Alyssa. Love your collection so much and how you style them so beautifully. Cameo by Apollo, priceless 😅
Thank you for the practical styling tips! I love your vibe and your methodology. I have a couple pairs of Aquatalia waterproof boots that have lasted over a decade, and are still going strong. Beauty and function, a worthwhile investment for sure! Keep up the good work!
I am so so envious of people who are lucky enough to be able to easily buy footwear that fits them. I am a size 42.5 to size 43 and I have to make numerous orders of shoes and boots and just keep trying on until I finally find something to fit me. The manufacturers often seem to assume that if your foot is long it must be wide too and often shoes that are long enough are just far too wide. And the boots in the bigger sizes are often ridiculously big around the calf so you could almost fit your arm in too! I mostly just wear mens trainers but my feet do get really cold in the winter. A lot is written about size inclusivity but it never seems to extend to shoes! And more and more brands seem now to only stock up to size 41. Whereas in the old days they always used to stock a size 42 and I had half a chance of squeezing into them if they came up big.
Classic style black boots never go out of style. I’ve had mine for about 8 years now. Last winter I didn’t wear them, but this winter I will definitely reach for them again😊
Loved the selection of boots! Especially the Anfibio ones.

I'm contemplating a trip to Croatia in April, which I think will still be chilly(?). I want some footwear that will be functional, yet cute (of course!). Worried about all day sightseeing, so think walking around in skimmers is out. Was contemplating Blundstone's (black --or pearl white for fun), tennis shoes and then just not sure what else. I know you've done capsule wardrobes for summer, but this is a shoulder season, and I am stumped. Helllllllpppp.
Love this video! I’ve started thinking about the length of my pants and height of my boots a lot. So many cropped pants that just feel super impractical in winter. I’m in Colorado, so I need to be ready for the cold and snow. I have a pair of winter hiking boots, with a great textured sole and faux fur lining. I also love your new boots!
Loved the video! Such a challenge pairing winter shoes/boots sometimes…somehow your authenticity and practical approach made me wonder if I don’t overthink winter boot pairing too much sometimes😅 Thank you!!
I always have in my fall/winter wardrobe laced leather high shaft winterboots. In black or brown. But my absolute faves are my burgundy Doc Martens. Live in them. Love them.
Great video! Thank you Alyssa! I was looking for links to the boots you showed but cannot see them... can you please let me know where you got your moto boots?
Such a good video. People from other countries do not understand how cold and snowy it is in our country. Sometimes you have to wear big boots. I have several pairs of boots, but my snow boots are the most worn. We have to keep warm after all!
Great video, thank you. Been struggling with the new looser jean silhouette and winter footwear. May I ask what brand/ style of jeans you’re wearing in the clip of you turning the corner near what looks like a cafe named Barba? Thank you! Love your style
Yes I learned something new! Buying black boots has been my goal for sometime (I live in sunny CA though, sorry not Canada, (my grandma grew up there). I liked how you said you wanted your boots to disappear under your pants/denim, that's exactly what I want for me. I wouldn't need the "winter" boots but I loved seeing yours, and your story of them, which will help me decide on my next purchase. (love seeing your cat too).
I'll add that even though I've successfully bought boots online, they're one purchase I think is best made trying on in a store. Being a great walker = great calf muscles!
First time commenting on your wonderful blog. Your fashion advice are so great and practical. I just love this one on boots, because I am a man who enjoys helping my wife shop for her clothes. But also , I’m a big guy who needs large wide width shoes and Amphibo, Carrie’s 3eee boots . Thank you so much. Forever a fan.
I live in Texas so rarely snows. However I’m trying to be mindful with my purchases and contemplating a combat style boot. So searched your page and of course first up on your list is the combat boot. This helped a lot. Thank you. Now off the search for a combat boot second hand.
Thank you so much Alyssa for every video you did - I love them all .-) Still looking for a coat in a beautiful color and your blue coat in this video catches my eyes - may I ask you about the brand?
Great video as always! I didn't recognize a lot of the coats you have on in the B roll, maybe it's time for a winter coats video? I'm especially curious about the purple wrap coat - a wrap coat is on my wishlist!
Excellent! Another video full of great content. I love my winter boots and you give great advice on the best ways to utilize them for style and functionality ! Thank you
Definitely getting out my boot collection today and putting them in a place where I can see them! It’s is cold and wet in the Pacific Northwest, but we don’t get a lot of snow so I have fewer options for snow. Still, when I need them, I have them and know where they are. Thanks for this video. How about a spring/summer shoe video in the works? See you at the LIVE.
Loved this and all your videos!! I’ve been trying to go minimal and repair over replace but I definitely need to find another staple boot so thank you for the ideas! If you or anyone else have recommendations for a classic flat/no heel leather boot that has enough room to swap for a thicker insole please send them my way, thank you!
Great video, as always. I had to laugh though on hearing that your 'incredibly old' boots are 4-5 years old...I guess we slightly more 'mature' ladies have a different perspective. Incredibly old I would call my 30+ year old Paul Green boots/shoes (2 pairs) which are both still going strong, thanks to a recent investment at the cobbler (that I might not have made if it wasn't for your example.) And I have to say : that short red coat (boucle?) looks so good on you! With the new boots, it is 'moody color perfection', and I am swooning over that outfit...
Omg Alyssa the knee boots are amazing on you (please remind me the brand) and its shows beautiful Montreal area in background of your video❤Happy Sunday
Hi, thank you for the very practical video, I always love the inspiration. Something that I often struggle with is tights and leggings. For example I think I have never had beautiful and good quality leggings that I really liked wearing out. Do you have tipps on leggings and tights, how to find good quality and how to style them in different ways?
Me too I have that colour type of boot but they are laceups and the colour given for it is PEWTER. It's quite rare to see people wearing this colour but I love it
Ooh where is the patent textured boot from? I haven't found anything that both suits my style and functionality in the winter - I've just stuck to my insulated L L Bean shoes or boots, which don't always suffice for style ot warmth 😅
Great video, BIG HELP! Please do some more videos with boot incorporated outfits , casual an dressy, MAYBE SUGGESTS SOME COATS , JACKETS, VESTS .thank you
I love your videos, they are so helpful! I have a Chelsea boot,a flat ranger boot, a suede knee boot, and even a brown western boot, black, now i want a metallic print 😊
Wow, Alyssa! You really went rogue on finally getting those boot that I had mention years ago that were lacking from your closet, but you still might have to bite the bullet and find a rugged flat lug sole combat black boot style to finish this off. But the moto style boot is a good substitute for non-slick weather. You are loving the gun metal boot and you going to love something in black that bring both worlds together of the moto with a lug sole. Has it already snowed there? Brrrrrrrrr! I have the UGG snow boots like that the ones shown here, I got them second hand but mine is in olive and just so darn cute and utilitarian boot. Great video totally different from what you were sporting some years back, these newer additions freshen up your looks. Thanks for sharing and ta ta for now.
Please help me decide !!! If I have to get one should I go with over the knee or knee high? I'll probably be wearing it with a mini skirt/dress or over skinny jeans My main concern is I have thick calves, pigmented knees, and I'm 5'3"
I love your videos Alyssa ♥ I'd like to ask you if the last boots in the video are from Dear Frances ELLE - HIGH HEEL BOOTS? Are they really that comfortable?
Thanks for the video. I've been bingewatching you as will have an Alberta work trip coming up and I might end freezing if I don't follow your advice. How do you find Anfibio shoes in walking alot and potentially hikes?
Hey Alyssa, found your exact Burberry flats….in great used condition. Size 37, a little bigger most probably because of wear. Anyhoo, if interested let me know. Love, love, love boots but alas, I live in the tropics so..🤷🏽♀️ BTW…I’m not selling. Was browsing and ran across them.
Hey Alyssa, thank you for another amazing video. Boots, the right ones are a great deal to a stunning closet. BTW, I'm interested in your virtual styling and live event but I could not access either of the links found in the description box. Please share them when you get a chance. Thanks.

Can you link the the gun metal boots?They are so cute. Thanks
Would love a list of the brands of boots you’re showing …
Yes please!
Same here!
Me too!!
me too - especially the gun metal boots - boot #2
I’d love to know the brand of the new silver boots, please 😊
Perfect!!! Yes!!! Another video demonstrating true authenticity. Super useful for us out here in the cold ♥️♥️♥️ also I love that you shared the dear Frances boots and your honesty in saying you saved for 3-4 years for them. It helps me to relate!
aw thank you :) FULLY - I had to save!!
One of my favorite brands is La Canadienne because they are waterproof and comfortable.
Would love to know what boot #2 is -- that gunmetal hue and chunky sole are exactly what I've been looking for. Great video -- thank you! ❤️
I found them online, the brand is Bos. & Co., hope that helps!
@@elizabethgediman9064 thank you!
@elizabeth, Thank you so much for the boot information. Good searching!
Now i am SOOOO CURIOUS as to what brand those last (gorgeous) boots are. Love 'em. Sigh... Alyssa, could you possibly do something for people whose feet hurt and need a lot of support? Or, amazing insoles (that i've been looking for for years)...? And is your B-Roll on ths vid current ? You have snow??????
Love that you can speak knowledgeably about Canadian winters. Can you tell me where you purchased your recent gun metal coloured boots? ❤
Yes. Super important to have a shovel the driveway, climb over the snow bank and jump over the slushy puddle type of boot.
Thank you for creating this video! Appreciate the realistic/practical boot video, especially for those of us that live in snowy places.
yay so glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Alyssa! I have been watching you for over 2 years and I GREATLY appreciate your message of
'creativity over consumption." You have been pivotal in helping me downsize and curate my wardrobe to fit in a 200 square foot home!

Do you mind sharing where you found them? Was it online?
@@sdelserone I waited very patiently on Poshmark.
Ahhh, boots my absolute favourite footwear, and I live in a warm to hot climate 10 months out of the year (11 months this year). However, still loving the tips, Alyssa. Love your collection so much and how you style them so beautifully. Cameo by Apollo, priceless 😅

oooh i've heard they're amazing - great choice and thank you for sharing your experience!
Thank you for your boot wisdom and practically. As a fellow oficianado of footwear that also needs to be practical, you have just made my heart sing ❤
I am so so envious of people who are lucky enough to be able to easily buy footwear that fits them. I am a size 42.5 to size 43 and I have to make numerous orders of shoes and boots and just keep trying on until I finally find something to fit me.

A lot is written about size inclusivity but it never seems to extend to shoes! And more and more brands seem now to only stock up to size 41. Whereas in the old days they always used to stock a size 42 and I had half a chance of squeezing into them if they came up big.
Love these boots! Also loving your stylish and colorful coats. The bold colors are gorgeous and uplifting!
thank you for watching!
Thank you for a great video. What’s the name of the black heeled boot at the end you saved up for?
Classic style black boots never go out of style. I’ve had mine for about 8 years now. Last winter I didn’t wear them, but this winter I will definitely reach for them again😊

I’d love to know this too! 😊
Me too😊
They're Dear Frances!
As someone who lives in the north, I love your winter content! So hard to dress cute in a blizzard lol!
Loved the video! Such a challenge pairing winter shoes/boots sometimes…somehow your authenticity and practical approach made me wonder if I don’t overthink winter boot pairing too much sometimes😅 Thank you!!
I loved this video! I purchased the Dear Frances boots because of you. Worth every penny!

Ive got a Siamese cat too that looks very much like Apollo.

Just great! Practicality, fun, great style. Thank you so much for the inspiration ❤
Excellent! Another video full of great content. I love my winter boots and you give great advice on the best ways to utilize them for style and functionality ! Thank you

agreed!!
What is brand is the last boots from?
Can you say where the gun metal boots came from? Love your vids
Those tall winter boots are cute to me. You were saying not so cute. I think they are cute. 😊
NAme of the make of your gun metal boots as well as the first pair of black chelsea boots?
Hey you forgot to pin the links to the boots! Everyone wants to know what each boot is
What are the #3 boots? I would love some shearling lined boots with a chunky heel 🥺 It’s hard to find a boot that is both formal and practical 😢
What are the last pair of boots? I’ve been looking for the perfect pair for years now!
Loved this and all your videos!! I’ve been trying to go minimal and repair over replace but I definitely need to find another staple boot so thank you for the ideas!

where are the last boots from? I've been looking for some just like them!

My main concern is I have thick calves, pigmented knees, and I'm 5'3"
Thanks for your guidance as always. In other news, who made your blue wrap coat? Both cozy and stylish!
I love your videos Alyssa ♥
I'd like to ask you if the last boots in the video are from Dear Frances ELLE - HIGH HEEL BOOTS?
Are they really that comfortable?
I'd like to know that, too. They seem perfect apart from the height of the heel.
Cute! What brand is the moto boot?
Thanks for the video. I've been bingewatching you as will have an Alberta work trip coming up and I might end freezing if I don't follow your advice. How do you find Anfibio shoes in walking alot and potentially hikes?
Love the video…your boots are great!
What are the snow boots called? 🙏
I found the Anfibio boots on sale a few weeks ago and picked them up. Love them!
enjoy them!!
Where is ur orange coat from
Hey Alyssa, found your exact Burberry flats….in great used condition. Size 37, a little bigger most probably because of wear.
Anyhoo, if interested let me know.
Love, love, love boots but alas, I live in the tropics so..🤷🏽♀️
BTW…I’m not selling. Was browsing and ran across them.
Awesome. Thank you. ❤
Is there a link to the black Moto boot? I’m having a hard time finding any that don’t have a huge sole.
Thanks for a wonderful video on boots..I love boots for winter, and love your styling tips ❤
so fun thank you for watching! xx
Hey Alyssa, thank you for another amazing video. Boots, the right ones are a great deal to a stunning closet.
BTW, I'm interested in your virtual styling and live event but I could not access either of the links found in the description box. Please share them when you get a chance. Thanks.
can you list the brands and names of the shoes?
When dressing, cold weather girls are always asking-am I going from door to door in a vehicle or am I going through the snow and ice?
Great job with this one, Alyssa!❤
fThank you Nicole! xx
thanks
Loved 😍 this boot video! Thank you so much;)
so glad it's helpful!
