A miracle has occurred: I have finally found knee-high boots that will zip over my not-at-all-fat calves. Even more exciting, they actually zipped over my jeans. This is big news because they aren’t pull-ons like my other pair—which give me that cankle look I dislike. They’re also easy to walk in, great looking, and semi-affordable. Meet the Cassie boot from Cole Haan. I guarantee there is nothing else out there like it—I’ve looked.
$340 at Cole Haan, 620 Fifth Ave., at 50th St.; 212-765-9747.
