But if you noticed the title, it's time for a confession: ours boots are fakes.
My sister and I fell in love with the Inkas when they came out 2 years ago. Unfortunately, the $100+ price range didn't resonate well with us. Fortunately, we were able to pick out a pair from Target for $30.
I have the black pair while my sister has the cognac colored pair:
They look almost the same, right? Someone thought my sister's pair was the real deal.
A few weeks ago, hubs ordered this pair for me from Sears.
These are not really that fake. These 'Adela' boots are SM New York, a Steve Madden line. Here they are again for comparison:
The Adelas are not that dull in real life and the Intyce ones are not that shiny in real life (I've tried and contemplated buying these in store). I really think they used the same pattern.
As I said, there are caveats. As you probably figured, the "real" ones use man-made leather uppers, while the "fakes" use really PVC. I don't think most people can tell unless they touch the boots. My sister and I'd probably beat them in the same amount of time.
While I love me some quality pieces of clothing, there's something in the subconscious that keeps us from paying the $100+ price tag on the "real ones."
