Leather, Suede Or Metallic: Ladies! Here's Where To Score Boots For Every Budget
The Shoe Factory
The Shoe Factory in Jeevan Bhima Nagar has something for everyone who walks in. If you are looking to buy boots to dress for the weather, a hike, or even a gig you've been waiting for, The Shoe Factory will spoil you for choice. Think combat boots, snow boots with fur in colours of pastel pinks and greys, heeled boots with zippers, biker boots, and suede ankle-length boots starting at INR 2000. This is an export surplus store so don't expect the latest collection and also the brands keep changing here from time to time.
Trendz
Not your fancy high-street (unless Brigade Road and Commercial Street count), this store was around selling boots before the onslaught of foreign brands. While you can certainly make out that these aren’t designer wear, if you can carry off fur-lined knee-highs or diamante booties, then head on over because you’ll have a shelf or two to pick from. Be careful of sizes though as they differ from boot to boot. The prices here start at INR 1,500.
Marks And Spencer
What we’d give for the entire range of M&S boots to come to India. But alas, we have to make do with a few Chelsea boots, tan and biker ones, woolen UGG sorts, and block-heel knee high boots. Clearly, we being a bit greedy in asking for more. Check-in just around this time and you may be lucky enough to get lace-ups as ’tis the season for those kinds back in England.
H&M
How thrilled we were when this Swedish brand brought us the top trends in Europe, that too at high street prices! Lucky for us it also means that come winter, their boots will be filling up the shelves. In fact, we’ve already scouted and found our loot! What makes it even more spectacular is that most of the collection — from platform army kinds and patent leather ankle boots to sexy suede and comfy pile-lined flats, is mostly under INR 3,000 even without a discount. We can’t wait for the sales!
Zara
Zara, the most loved high street brand for everything from clothing to shoes stocks up on boots that are just too hard to resist. We are talking about cowboy leather boots with metal accents in colours of reds, browns, and black, ankle-length boots made out of suede and knee-high boots that give you the runway look. If you are looking for a more edgy look, their biker leather boots will do the job for you. Yes, they are a little pricey as the boots start here at INR 5,000 but worth investing in.
Spice Girls
