When you are talking shoes, there’s no way you can leave out Jimmy Choo. The brand that is now available in India, courtesy the Murjani group, has a wide array of boots in their autumn-winter collection that are priced from Rs 35,000 onwards. Skinny heels with ingenious cutaways give a startling effect to their booties—ankle-length boots—while the colours border on metallic and have a glossy sheen. The focus is also on embellishments like oblong buckles, cigarette heels and square toes. Black is still popular, but bronze and steel have an equally strong following. “We have a quieter approach to glamour this season. Decorative elements have an arts and crafts feel and the final punch to this elegant collection is an exclusive provocative bold zip detail,” says Angelique O’Brien, business head, Murjani Group.

Keeping in mind that heels are the focal point this year, Salvatore Ferragamo has come up with some great options. Their heels can go up to 13.5 inches. Some are made of wood and supported by a platform 8.5 inches high so that your feet attains the height without the discomfort of the arch. From mink embellishments to Celtic cuts to luxurious crocodile straps, the boots from Ferragamo, which start at Rs 35,000, will ensure that you stand tall and stand out in the crowd. “The thing to remember when you are buying boots is where you are going to wear it. For instance, in a weather like Mumbai’s, wearing fur boots won’t work. Shooties are something everybody can safely get for their wardrobe this season,” says a spokesperson from Ferragamo.
