Ever since I published this article on girlfriend jeans, many of you have been asking for some alternatives to the Vince sneaker-boots I’m wearing.  As I’ve mentioned before, the vibe is more of a chic boot, yet they feel like sneakers.  Best of all, I can wear them with both skinnies and boyfriend jeans (or girlfriend jeans haha) and always with my trusty Smartwool socks.

This boot style, the sneaker-boot, is one of my favorite trends this fall.

First of all, the gray Vince ones are currently on sale for $209, and Vince’s black newlyn sneaker boots are also on sale, but higher – $262.

Secondly, I wouldn’t be known as The Shopping Enabler if I just stopped there, right?  RIGHT.  So keep reading for a huge round-up of sneaker-boots at a wide range of price points.

1. Splendid Snow Angel High Tops, $138 – I want to put these on my feet at the first sign of winter…and never take them off. Perfect for the end of Fall, too. So cozy, right??

2.  Steve Madden KARRLTON, $100 – Classic style in a very go-to shade of gray. Pair them with literally anything and out the door you go!

3. Nine West Spunky Slip-On Sneakers, $50 – The ideal slip-ons with a price to match.

4. Tom’s Paseo High Sneaker, $79 – A more laid-back option: casual and cool.

5. Free People Slip-On Sneaker, $98 – You lose the high-rise, wear with thick socks option….but that insanely cool pointed toe makes up for A LOT. (Click through to see more views of this sneak – it’s fab.)

6. Sam Edelman High Top Sneakers, $80 – Business in the front and just enough detail in the back. Love.

7. Joie Devon High Top Sneakers, $275 – The details are all there (hello, snake print). Perfect to wear all. the. time. (And would easily cover thick socks.)

8. Steven by Steve Madden Exxit Sneaker, $43 – Another not-so-basic sneaker. Pair with all of your favorite Fall pieces and call it a day.

9. JSLIDES Chelsea Sneaker, $145 – Great combination of sporty and chic. The chunky sole makes things interesting.

Above are our favs, but here are a few more options…

 

 

Hope this helps!

  2. I love these Vince Booties, I purchased them in the most recent Nordstrom sale. I love my regular Vince sneakers but needed something more for colder weather! What are Smartwool socks?

  4. Thanks for the alternate recommendations! While I love the Vince booties, I don’t love the price. I just ordered the Steve Madden Karrlson pair…plus 20% off on their site today for Veteran’s day! Score!

  7. You’re wearing close to $1000 of clothes in every post you put out. How on earth can you pretend to be just another mom out there in the world trying to look nice when you spend $350 on a pair of high tops? What a joke.

    • I don’t see this as a problem. This isn’t a “budget” blog. Shana does a great job providing cost conscious alternatives for those who don’t want to spend a lot of money. I’m a “normal mom” and probably wear $1000 worth of clothes every time I get dressed, if you want to calculate it like that. But it’s the same $1000–I have 2 pairs of nice jeans instead of 10, one Rag and Bone sweater, etc. Cost per wear, baby.

    • I’m on a very, very VERY tight budget, and I haven’t been reading this blog for over two years for the exact items Shana’s wearing! I love this blog because I’m interested in where trends are going and I love Shana’s bright and irreverent take on style. I come for ideas and inspiration, not a shopping list. It doesn’t bother me one bit what the outfits cost. 🙂

    • No where on the site does Shana promote herself as a “budget fashion blogger”. I agree that a lot of the items that she features are at a higher price point then I’m comfortable with, but luckily Shana always offers less expensive alternatives. I use the site as inspiration – not prescription.

    • Lindsay, are you trying to be confrontational, or is this a genuine question? If it’s the first, then shame on me for replying. If it’s the second – and my glass half full self sincerely hopes it is – then I think looking at the outfits as a whole might help. I love what Shana wears. I love how she puts together elements that I might be wondering about, and shows me how cool they look together. When I see something that I think I could rock, I go to my closet and try to use what I have. Then I check out my favourite sites at price points I’m comfortable with. But that’s just me. A “normal mom” learning from Shana – another (way more stylish) “normal mom.” And now…..we could begin a huge discussion on what a “normal mom” is……but my adorable toddler wants to put together a puzzle…..and I want to do that too….in sneaker boots.
