Where can I buy these colorful leather-like boots/shoes?
February 10, 2020 10:04 AM   Subscribe

I saw these amazing boots recently, and fell in love and took a photo, but the person wearing them couldn't remember where they came from. Brown leather or leather-like material, intricate flower pattern, lots of interesting topstitch detail, and a colorful felt wool cuff.

The closest I've found is a brand called Socofy. Their shoes look fabulous, but I placed an order a month ago and it still hasn't shipped (from China), and there's some sketchy-sounding reviews, so they may be an elaborate scam/knockoff site.

Where can I get colorful/patterned shoes like this? I'm in the U.S.

Look up "L'artiste" on Zappos.com, those boots remind me of that brand's style. I have a pair of L'artiste sandals and they are quirky & comfortable.

They remind me of Rieker. Example 1, example 2.

Yeah, look at these others from Rieker—the build of the boot is identical.

Response by poster: Sure looks like Rieker - thanks!

If you know of other brands that make shoes like this, I'd still love to hear them.

They're not quite as intense about it, but Pikolinos definitely makes some colorful/patterned shoes. I'd check out their sandals, especially.

Seconding L'Artista - some styles can be ordered online from Kohls (use the coupons!)

They also remind me of Joseph Seibel. I think they have some boots with similar colorful knit cuffs.
