Happy Tuesday friends!  It’s the week of Christmas, and I am sooo over shopping, gift guides, etc.  I think it’s time to be eat Christmas cookies on the couch in my pajamas, and I hope you agree!  This outfit post is a long-time coming because I have been storing these Stuart Weitzman Hiline OTK boots in my closet since Summer!  I got them on sale because I just couldn’t stomach the full price.  BUT after wearing them just once, I know why women have fallen in love with these!  Below, I’ll review the infamous boots and tell you all the deets.

The ‘Highland’ boot rose to popularity a few years ago, and they have since been discontinued.  The ‘Highland’ is now the ‘Hiline’ style.  In a nut shell, the ‘Hiline’ heel is a stacked heel, compared to a thinner heel on the ‘Highland,” and the sole on the ‘Hiline’ is supposedly better and more comfortable.  See this is a YouTube video, which I found super helpful.  I can only speak to the ‘Hiline’ style, but it’s very well-made shoe.  The shoe is non-slip and stable, while the stacked hell is very, very comfortable.  I wore these boots around NYC and felt super sturdy – and those NYC sidewalks can be the worst.

Now, if you know me and have read my blog for some time, you know that my calves are unusually large, so I have a hard time finding well-fitting boots.  Not going to lie – the first time I put on these boots, I thought to myself, heck no, these boots are soooo dang tight.  But I was too stubborn, so I bought some leather stretch spray, wore the boots around the house, and whew, they definitely loosened up!  I also love the ties, which stay tied!  I have a few other OTK boots, and I always have to re-tie through the day and night, which can be such a pain.  Also, all the online stores say to go up a size, but I actually went down a size and they fit perfectly.

While I’m not saying go out and buy a pair of $800 boots this moment, if you have been looking for a great pair of OTK boots that (1) will never go out of style, (2) are comfortable and well-made, and (3) will complement any outfit, I highly suggest you keep a lookout for the Hilines.  They do go on sale throughout the year, so a little patience can go a long way!
