Sperry Top Sider Glenwood Boot

The Sperry Top Sider Glenwood boot is the perfect solution to need of functionality combined with a desire for fashion - like other styles from the Sperry Top Sider line, it is a wonderful boot to protect from the elements but at the same time it is not short on looks. Suede leather dominates the upper construction while an elastic goring is added for easy on and off, without detracting from its looks. It has a single strap that buckles horizontally around the ankle, coming in a couple of different colors including Black and Dark Brown. It retails for around $160.

This boot is definitely a good practical and fashionable choice, yet if you are still in comparison mode or simply enjoy checking out beautiful boots, here are a few styles that compare to the Glenwood:

Rockport Lorraine Chelsea Boot:

Here's a boot with more than a little bit of practicality, with waterproof upper and elastic siding for easy on and off. It has a lining to keep feet fresh and dry, plus a specially designed insole and outsole to provide great cushioning. All of this with a great look - it has a shiny patent finish with a look versatile enough to be worn as footwear at work or with a fun casual outfit. Colors include Black Patent, with a retail price of around $110.

Rockport Addison Short Inside Zip Boot:

Another quality boot from Rockport has not only a number of practical features for wet and/or cold weather, also with a sleek look. It is constructed from a soft leather for the upper, with a side zipper to make them quite easy to get on and off. It is specially designed to conform to the shape of an individual foot, providing optimum fit and comfort. The Addison is designed to provide comfort with walking and has a chunky sole to add to the appearance. Available in a Black Leather version, with a retail price of around $200.

Cole Haan Air Tali Short Rainboot:

With the brand name, "Cole Haan" the fashion character of this boot is rather a no-brainer yet it has quite a number of features that make it a delight to wear even in all-day-and-evening situations. It is constructed with a sleek waterproof upper and has a full side zip closure for easy on and off. Like some other styles from Cole Haan it has "Nike Air" technology to give feet a real break from bumps and impacts. With a wedge heel and a side buckled strap, this boot has quite a look that any woman would be proud to wear. The color selection is fabulous, being available in Patent versions of Black, Greige and Oxblood and has a retail price of around $188.

Any of the shorter above-the-ankle boots above including (and perhaps especially) the Sperry Top Sider Glenwood boot are quite easy on the eyes and are made with foot protection and comfort in mind.
