Knockin' the boots

Where can I find women's moto-style boots?

I love these Deena and Ozzy Strap Moto Boots from Urban Outfitters, seen here:

Except, they're not real leather. Where can I find a similar leather pair? Criteria: Black, leather, stacked heel, some sort of buckling detail. Thanks guys!

If you're willing to spend the money (I have yet been able to!), Frye makes really great-looking boots. These might fit what you're looking for - they're a bit tougher-looking, but again, hot.

You're screaming out for Frye, although those aren't necessarily as trendy as those you've listed. But Fryes are gorgeous boots that will stand up and be stylish for years to come.

Just looking for "motorcycle boots" should help you, although (again) they might be a bit more heavy and actually motorcycley instead of what you're looking for.

Buckles are pretty big right now, so just going to DSW could probably give you a decent selection.

How about these? Or these? Or these? Or these, these, these or these? (Hope I didn't repeat any links in there :P)

Similar (... and fit general criteria)

Chippewa Rally Boot (scroll down). Chippewa are decent quality boots on par with Frye.

Search also on the terms: biker, harness, or engineer boot.

Stopping by to recommend Frye Engineer and Harness boots. They will last you forever and they look even better as they age. Try looking for them on eBay - in my experience, sizing is consistent and true, and you'll be able to find them at a savings over other retailers.

I'm a devotee of New Rock boots myself. Badass, sturdy, and did I mention badass?

Another vote for Frye

My Fryes have lasted me for years and years; in fact, a man I know from the dog park claims that he's had his pair (which are still in great condition) since the 1970s and wears them regularly.

(I had Steve Madden knock-offs before I splurged on Fryes, and they lasted for six months before the sole came off on the subway one day.)
