THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR WALKING (AND SHOWING OFF, TOO) With the New Year finally in full swing and the holidays finally past us, it’s time to get our end of winter wardrobes in check. And the best part? Everything you need to update your closet ready to go for the rest of winter and spring is totally on sale. Right now. If you have a bunch of gift cards burning a hole in your wallet or simply have an itch to get your hands on something new, we’d highly recommend snagging a pair of super cute boots. Not only are they still super functional for the colder months ahead, but they’ll totally be in style for the rest of the year, no matter what the weather. Here are our favorite boot trends for that awkward winter to spring transition to get your shopping fix and help you keep your shoe collection up to date (without breaking the bank).
