Whitney Port in Loeffler Randall Matilde Embossed Snake Boots

Posted by kim on March 1, 2010

Loeffler Randall Matilde Embossed Snake Boot in Chocolate as seen on Whitney Port

Actress Whitney Port* has been spotted several times wearing her Loeffler Randall Matilde Embossed Snake Boots (from the Loeffler Randall fall 2008 collection) in Chocolate with her designer clothes.  These  snake-embossed leather boot with 1″ covered wedge heel, 15.5″ shaft and leather sole are available for purchase from Singer22.com, $775.  They are also available in Black.

Personally, I wouldn’t spend that much money on these Loeffler Randall boots as I don’t like the looseness around Whitney’s calf. Now maybe on someone with normal size calves (like myself) and not way too skinny legs like Whitney’s (okay, maybe I’m a tad jealous), they would actually look better.

For a similar and way less expensive style, I recommend BCBGeneration’s Petler boots in Tobacco Suede that are currently available and on sale at  OnlineShoes.com for $99.99 plus free shipping. The almost flat wedge heel and knee-high, pull-on boot are strikingly similar. Sure, they aren’t “embossed” with the snake skin print, but the leather upper suede can give a similar appearance at a distance.

*Whitney Port is most famous for her former role on the MTV reality television series The Hills and later, as the star of her own show, The City. She is a former fashion contributor for Teen Vogue and used to work for Diane von Fürstenberg.
