What to look for in boots with heels: 👢HEEL PLACEMENT The heel aligns with your center of gravity – if you drew a stick figure of your leg, the heel would follow. 👢SCULPTED SHAPE The back should be curved to cup your foot, especially important for taller boots because you’ll need more stability. 👢SMOOTH CONSTRUCTION No ridges or wrinkles around the back of the foot and the toes, where there are inner layers to support the shape of the boot. Inner structure should be as close to invisible as possible. 👢SMOOTH SEAMS No puckers or stretching. If there are top stitches, they should be straight. 👢👢BONUS The bigger the pieces of leather, the more costly the boot. Smaller pieces of leather cost much less. It’s harder to find larger pieces of leather that are flawless. If a boot has a lot of seam lines, make sure they’re doing something for the design. Otherwise, it can look like a cost-cutting measure. Also, examine the quality of the leather both in the front and on the back. Compare. See if you find more veining and flaws on the back of the boot. The back is where less expensive boots may have lower quality leather pieces. It may vary per pair of boots.
