WINNER:
NINE WEST from NINE WEST, 2901 Bayview Ave., $210
“I think these are fantastic. I’m very impressed with this level of styling. It’s sexy, it’s dressy, but it’s also pretty bold. And I just love the big, chunky, stacked heel. It’s got a great rock ’n’ 

 

 

 

 

 

OH,MARC
MARC by MARC JACOBS from DAVIDS, 66 Bloor St. W., $418
“Here is a nice, golden shade of suede by Marc Jacobs. I’d wear them open; you don’t have to zip them up, you could leave the tongue hanging out a bit for that casual look. You could wear this with a thick, textured stocking.” 

 

 

 

THE GREAT LEATHER MIX-UP
SAM EDLEMAN from TOWN SHOES, 2283 Yonge St., $225
“This is a very solid boot. It’s hip and it’s kind of biker chic. If you look up close, the leather detailing changes from buckle to buckle. One is kind of a pony skin, and the other one is a faux lizard. It’s nice to have that level of detailing in your boot.” 

 

 

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
WOLVERINE from GRAVITY POPE, 1010 Queen St. W., $330
“I just like the fact that they’re two-tone, and they make a statement. I mean, even if you’re going to dress in black from head to toe, put on a pair of boots like this and your look is really going to pop.”
 

 

 

DARK SOLES
OPENING  CEREMONY from HUDSON'S BAY, 176 Yonge St., $495
“This is just gorgeous. I think that you’re getting you’re money’s worth in terms of quality here. It’s beautifully lined on the inside, and the leather is beautiful and supple. The solid stacked heel is absolutely classic.”

 

 

BLUE SUEDE BOOTS
NINE WEST from NINE WEST, 1 Promenade Circ., $180
“You know, midnight blue is the new black. I love this kind of darker navy. It’s an elegant look, and it’s got a nice height. This could look really great with a little skirt or a dress, even. I just like the fact that it’s a great alternative to black.”

 

 

 

 A GOLDEN SURPRISE
BOUTIQUE 9 from SHOE BAG, 426 Eglinton Ave. W., $250
“I absolutely love the gold detailing on the back, and I like this nice gold zipper on the side. It looks like a comfortable heel, and it’s certainly a hot-looking boot. Just beautiful.”

 

 

 

CANADIAN GLAM PUNK
RON WHITE from RON WHITE, 3401 Dufferin St., $495
“What I like about these studs is that they’re not that in your face. They don’t look heavy-duty. They’re just a little bit of a nod to the glam punk look, and it just looks like a nice boot for those who crave a very flat, no-nonsense heel.”
