The Women's Vera Wang Kenya Boot

Vera Wang Kenya Boot - Worthy Of A Cabaret

Describing the adoration I have for the Vera Wang Kenya Boot would be almost as impossible as describing my profession to a group of die-hard church-goers. Let me explain...

I'm a Cabaret dancer. Despite what images this may conjure, it doesn't mean that I'm a stripper; but, I imagine you'd call me a number of things. However, I love my work, as Cabarets go back to before the 1950's -- when women and men would perform onstage in feathered boas and knee-high boots, dancing and acting out skits in the craziest, most amusing, and seductive ways.

With that said, the Vera Wang Kenya Boot came to my rescue 2 weeks ago when the heel of my most beloved pair of costume shoes broke right in the middle of a performance. I continued as usual, making the audience believe that it was all apart of the show, but I was upset beyond words. It's hard finding a great pair of footwear to sustain numerous performances on an almost nightly basis! Therefore, that would make these boots an impulse purchase because I needed them immediately for the act the following evening.

At $495 per pair, I was sweating bullets over their reliability; however, the all-over leather and the ankle harness sold me on their appeal and pin-up girl appearance. So, it's opening night at a new club... the crowd is sensational and excited... and my shoes made me feel like a rockstar! I was so relieved! Admittedly, the Vera Wang Kenya Boot is more comfortable with a better fit than the aforementioned beloved boots with the broken heel. Each step felt like I was 100% supported and towards the end of the night, I could still dance and twirl without foot pain. It was an investment I can proudly endorse with a flourish of my pink feathered boa and a shake of my ruffled fanny.

The Women's Vera Wang Marilyn Boot

Vera Wang Marilyn Boot - The Confinement Footwear

If you're looking to keep your feet imprisoned in a fashionable, but uncomfortably small confined area, then the Vera Wang Marilyn Boot is just right for you. It will meet all of your needs for sore arches, blistered heels, and bruised toes. With masochistic foot fetishists in mind, these boots were designed to hurt, providing no protection against aching feet and encouraging the flourish of pin-prick pains that one will experience when their shoes are too tight. ...Just kidding! While these boots will most certainly be a strain on your tootsies, this is footwear no one should ever want to own. So, the part about someone 'needing' these shoes is where I was kidding -- the rest about the pain and constraint would be accurate assessments.

What's so wrong with the Vera Wang Marilyn Boot?

Wrapped in leather and platformed for a towering appearance, these boots were meant to evoke a sense of female dominance; a way for women, particularly those in the rapturous world of business, to intimidate and feel confident over their competition. Although, confidence generally tends to mean being comfortable, and these boots provide none of the comfort that is lacking from their advertisement. Instead, they focus on how the boot looks. Albeit fierce in appearance, the importance of shoes lies in how nurturing they are to your feet -- something the Vera Wang Marilyn Boot also lacks.

The Vera Wang Marilyn Boot is layered with snaps, making it easier for them to be worn as full boots or as ankle-length booties. The fold-over feature is handy because it provides a little more comfort to an already uncomfortable shoe. The largest problem with these boots is wiggle-room on the interior. Your feet just don't have the room to move and "breathe." If these are your only option for superior footwear, opt for flip-flops. The confidence needs to come from within, and these are too ache-inspiring to be awe-inspiring.

The Women's Vera Wang Natasha Boot

Vera Wang Natasha Boot - At Least They Tried

The Vera Wang Natasha Boot is a try for elegance in a butch style... and a fail. Unfortunately, Vera Wang didn't get the memo that edgy doesn't mean clunky, and glamorous isn't the equivalent of a few strands of faulty metallic beads. It's all about the confidence a woman exudes when strutting in striking footwear; a confidence that a woman has to feel from her toes up. These boots do not evoke those emotions, nor do they do much for a woman's well-chosen outfit.

What's wrong with the Vera Wang Natasha Boot?

These boots were constructed from premium leather and strings of metallic faux jewels for appealing accentuation; both qualities that had the potential to turn a boot from bad to awesome. However, the exterior of each boot is polished to an almost plastic sheen, making the footwear appear fake and ridiculously shiny. Ascending to mid-calf height, these boots represent the feminine biker; the woman who takes charge with flowers wrapped in whips and chains -- which is a combination traditionally smiled upon in movies, but it doesn't work too well in reality.

The interior of each boot is cushioned and padded -- a far cry from the dismal and uncomfortable appearance of the exterior. Even with less than appealing footwear, women who opt for these boots can at least rest assured that their feet will be comfortable. Although, this seems to be the boot's only redeeming quality.

The Vera Wang Natasha Boot is priced at a steep $398; a cost most sensible women will refuse to pay for boots as ill thought-out as these. Albeit, if you're the type to splurge or collect odd footwear, the Vera Wang Natasha Boot would be an ideal choice. After years of putting good fashion on the seasonal line, Vera Wang has finally fallen to the masses with boots that don't meet the grade A quality of the 2012 hopefuls.
