A Classic Re-Did

Miu Miu, as part of pre-Fall, pushed out some lace-up riding boots: the kind girls round these parts have been wearing every winter for the past 6 or 7 years. Alas, we're sure they will sell this classic boot like hotcakes. To be honest, there are some designs that are sharp and ought be offered at every price point. If your average shoe allowance hovers around a thousand, why should you have to slum it and buy the real-vintage version (that retails, even in perfect condition, at no more than $200). Where there is a need...there is a Miu Miu version. Which is, if you ask us, as it should be. Look at it this way, as long as Miu Miu and like keep producing the classic styles, it will give our daughters, when they are in their twenties and living in New York, some sick vintage riding boots to wear during the winter months. It's the circle of boot-life, folks.
