Yesterday, my friend Nicole, who is currently looking for the ‘perfect pair of fall boots’, asked me if I had written such an article. I hadn’t, so I decided to focus this week’s splurge vs. save on casual daytime boots perfect for fall weather. More particularly, riding and motorcycle boots.

I own both types of boots (in several colors) because they’re truly the most versatile fall footwear. You can wear boots in good or bad weather for a multitude of occasions. Not only do they look appropriate for a variety of activities, they’re completely easy to wear. Just slip them on and your outfit is instantly put together. Who doesn’t appreciate versatility and ease?

For my ‘splurge’ options I chose a select few, seeing as it's much easier to find boots to splurge on than it is to find an affordable pair.

A good pair of boots is going to cost you. When shopping for boots you have to be sure that you’re purchasing boots made with durable materials. I would suggest these options.

The Frye boots may not seem like much of a 'save' but in reality, for how well they're made with the products that are used during the manufacturing process, they are an incredible deal. You cannot find a better boot brand than Frye.

How do you feel about these boots? Are there any other kinds of boots you’re interested in?
