The right pair of boots can make an outfit. And the wrong pair – well – they can break it. Every woman knows that finding the perfect pair of boots can be a difficult process, because it’s not simply about finding the right style and shoe size. It’s also all about finding the right fit, which means finding the style of boot that you love, with a fit that your feet and calves will love too. Women’s boots that fall into the “just right” category are those that are the perfect marriage of looks, comfort and fit.

There is no type of footwear as versatile as ladies’ boots. Smart or casual, sexy or practical… knee-high, mid-calf or ankle… leather, nubuck, patent or suede - a great pair of boots can transform a favourite or workaday outfit into something a bit special. Depending on your mood, you can use your boots to dress up or down. If you’re feeling sassy and confident, choose that patent pair with the sexy, spiky heels and team with a floor skimming pair of smart jeans or a denim mini. Or if you’ve got that easy like Sunday morning feeling, pair a little floral dress, cardigan and opaque tights with a pair of slouchy brown mid calf suede flats. Whether it’s boots for a special occasion or everyday wear that you want, there’s a pair out there for you.

Knee high boots are a classic wardrobe staple that no woman can afford to be without. They are available in an extensive range of shapes, colours, materials and styles. Whether you want a practical pair of luxurious fleece lined flat nubuck boots, or a black leather pair with heels to lengthen and flatter your legs, there are so many to choose from. Mid-calf boots offer a great alternative if you want a slightly shorter but equally versatile style of boot. They look gorgeous with short or knee high skirts or over an everyday pair of skinny jeans. Opt for ankle boots to make a pair of boot cut trousers into a smart outfit to take you from work into evening. Your choice of heel changes the look of an outfit too - opt for high heels for a glamorous look for a night on the town or a special occasion, low or mid-height for a smart office look or lunch with friends, or flats lined with leather for a comfortable mooch round the shops. Boots look great with up to the minute high fashion or classic styles. It’s up to you.

Finding the right fit is an essential part of every self-respecting boot lover’s search. Many high street boots may look great - until you try them on. They may be the right shoe size for you, but the overall fit on your calves is just as important. High street boots are made to standard measurements - but real women are made to their own unique size!

A pair of ill-fitting boots will ruin an outfit, spoiling the line of your legs and making for an uncomfortable day’s wear. But a well-fitting ladies boot will flatter your shape, elongating your legs and creating a beautiful look, which means that you can step out with confidence. It is a good idea to find a specialist manufacturer or supplier of women’s boots that come in a wide range of calf sizes, so that you can find the style you want in a fit that’s right for you. Length is also an important consideration - a knee-high boot may be too long and uncomfortable for a petite lady, or too short for the Amazons among us. Specialist ladies boot suppliers have a range of lengths and calf fits for every woman, to ensure that the investment you are making in your new boots is one that will pay off for a long time to come.

What it means to be “designer”.

designer-shoes

The term “designer” is often used loosely in the fashion industry, and certainly so by a number of factories mass producing shoes that copy the fashion leaders.

We do it differently. How you’d expect a true designer shoe to be created for you.

At Vein, each new design is sketched, first as a conceptual, and then worked and re-worked into final drawings with graphite on paper, by head Vein designer, Christopher McCallum. Then, a prototype shoe is meticulously crafted by hand.

The new design is then put into production, brought to life for our discerning clientele using the finest leathers, hand selected for their uniqueness and quality, from renowned international and Australian tanneries.

When you inspect our famous Vein shoes, you’ll quickly see they embody qualities others only aspire to. Designs and quality inspired by the great clothing fashion houses, by timeless architecture and the personalities, stunning locations and exciting lifestyles we experience around the world.

As you can probably tell, we live, fantasize, dream and breathe male footwear. This burning passion has made Vein the premier Australian male designer footwear label.

In 2005 Vein was the only male footwear label to be invited to exhibit in Mercedes Australian Fashion Week. Trail blazing clothing labels like “NYOU”, “Leopold”, “Tom, Dick & Harry”, “Red Cordial” and Australian Fashion Design Awards Winner “Always Habit”, choose to complement their labels with Vein on the runway.

In 2006 at the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival Vein was the catwalk shoe of choice for Kenzo, Morrisey and Leopold.

Vein stands for excellence. You’ll feel it, look it, live it too � every time you slip on Vein shoes.

Vein shoes. Love more. Stress less. Express your creativity. And above all, envy no one.
