The Battle Of the Comfortable Brown Booties: Sofft Giliana vs Comfortiva Briane

Fall is rapidly approaching and even though it is 80 degrees here in Vermont, I can’t help but start the transition to my fall wardrobe. The rich colors and cozy knits are calling me.

Last year, I created a Fall Needs List. See more about creating Seasonal needs list here.

On the very top of that fall needs list, was a pair of dark brown comfortable booties. I have multiple pairs in black and a pair of Sofft Aisley in Luggage that I bought locally at Roam Vermont that I love. But, I found myself searching for a dark brown pair throughout the season.

Hiking Boots: The More Retro the Better.

Back in the late 90’s my boyfriend (now hubby) wanted to climb Camel’s Hump with me. He used to work on the mountain and was an avid hiker. I had hiked, you know, a few times and mostly in sneakers. So, before the big day, I headed to an outdoor gear store and bought some hiking boots. They looked very much like the ones that Reese Witherspoon wore in Wild. You know, the brown leather ones with the red laces. I took them out of the box and slapped them on my hopeful feet on the day of our climb.
