Every woman, whether she admits it or not, has a shoe addiction. Stiletto pumps should have a home in every woman's closet and strappy anythings add sex appeal to any outfit. The real power player in the woman's shoe department, however, is the boot. Tall, heeled, slouchy or whatever the style, boots always make a statement when you put them on. Whether you're trying to achieve casual comfort, add an edgy vibe, or be an all-out sex kitten, there's a style of boot that will do it for you. With all the variety in boot fashion that is now available, it's not a bad idea to invest in a quality pair or two to add to your shoe collection. Quality leather boots can be a little hard on the wallet and, while I'm not saying that they wouldn't be worth it, maybe your bank roll just can't quite handle a designer pair at the moment. That's no excuse or reason to not join the latest shoe craze and rock some killer boots so click on the slideshow to see some favorite leather boots for $100 or less!
A Better Bargain: DAY Birger et Mikkelsen 'Star' Leather Riding Boots

DAY Birger et Mikkelsen is the brain child of lead designer Michala Weisneck, who fuses luxury with the modern and functional tailoring inspired by a Scandinavian aesthetic. The Danish brand launched in 1998 and is influenced by Asia, along with the glamour of vintage fashion and a whimsical twist for good measure. Weisneck honed her design skills at Christian Lacroix, Cacharel and Christian Dior before going to DAY Birger et Mikkelsen. What we love most about DAY Birger et Mikkelsen is the gorgeous styling and the reasonable "Frugalista" prices. A pair of leather riding boots for $300? We couldn't believe it. Apparently neither could many other shoppers since the 'Star' leather riding boots in black are sold out at Net-a-Porter. We did find the 'Star' boots are available in brown at my-wardrobe.com for $260. To see more, click on over to our friends at TheFind!
