Brrrr! It’s always pretty cold in the Heels.com headquarters, but today it’s especially chilly because the heating is broken! Winter took a while to get to us here in sunny North Carolina, but it is definitely here now. On the other hand, my boss is the best! I walked in and the first thing he said was, “I turned on the heater under your desk so it would be warm.” Isn’t that nice?!!

With the cool weather (and cold workplace!) there’s only one kind of shoe I’m thinking about right now. Boots. Warm and fuzzy boots. And I would like to take a moment to highlight a pair of boots that has not really gotten the rep it deserves:

The Report Meloni.

Now, we posted these on the Heels.com Facebook page (are you a fan yet??) and they didn’t exactly get a standing ovation. Our stylish and discerning readers expect links to sexy heels. They were not terribly excited about these furry, flat boots, and I don’t blame them.

But you have to understand – in person, these boots are SO COOL! The pictures just don’t do them justice at all because you miss the most interesting thing about these boots: the many, many different ways they can be worn.

Boots this season are all about flexibility, and we have many pairs of knee boots with cuffs that can be folded down or pulled up. The Report Meloni incorporates this flexibility into a boot that can be attractively worn at least three ways.

See, the outside of the leg of the boot is a soft suede-like fabric and the inside is fuzzy warm fur. You can pull them all the way up (they are VERY attractive this way, and quite warm!), fold them half down, or fold them all the way down. Here is a picture of them half-cuffed:

The Report Meloni can be anything from an attractive suede-like knee boot to a cuffed boot to an Eskimo-style fuzzy boot! The important part is that how you wear them is up to you. If you’re curious, go take a look at the shoes and click on the video link. You can see our shoe model has them on in different ways – I really like them pulled all the way up!

Are you cold today? Well, you should really make room in your closet for a pair of nice fuzzy boots. Personally I think the Report Meloni is a fantastic and flexible option. Do you agree?
