Boot season is quite possibly my favorite time of year. The weather is now colder than normal in San Francisco and in my opinion the only option for shoes is boots - a personal favorite. ShoeMint is a fabulous collaboration between Rachel Bilson and Steve Madden. They have come together to create an eye catching line of boots for everyone.
In order to show you an array of different styles from ShoeMint I had my cousin and I pick out our favorite boots to photograph in a shoot with Emily Anderson. She immediately went for the Holly in army green (which I fell in love with) and I chose the Esther for it’s sleek and clean aesthetic.

What she loved about the Holly was the double zipper look and that it came in a dark army green suede – a perfect color for her wardrobe. Plus they look like a boot both my cousin and I have been coveting, but at a better price point – only $79.95!


The Esther is the classic booties that you can pair with rolled up jeans for a lunch date or dress it up with tights and a skirt for a nighttime look. I love how the suede continued onto the heel.
Today ShoeMint is giving away one pair of boots to THREE readers!
So, which pair do you have your heart set on? Hop over to ShoeMint to take a look at the boots they have in stock and then come back and comment on which pair you’d love to wear this winter. I’m telling you, these boots are even better in person.
Contest ends Friday at midnight. Good luck friends!
PS. Don’t forget you get 30% off your first order here and it’s free to sign up!
UPDATE: Congrats to Samantha, Camille and Lauren for being our winners this time! You’ll be receiving an email shortly.

I love the Nelle in Cognac! They’re very similar to my cognac boots that are probably in the middle of their last winter.
Hello, this is so bizarre! I love Goop which is how I found your site. I live in Sacramento so I had to click on the link. My name is Claire, and my sister’s name is Caitlin. Also I grew up in the Bay Area. Quite the set of coincidences. Anyhoo, I am really in love with the Holly in the green color…size 8. Super cool.
All of these boots rock and are way more awesome than the Frye boots I have been coveting. Thank you Sacramentostreet for turnng me on to Shoemint. While Holly, Meghan and Stephenie all look way more luxurious than thier $89 price tag, if I were to choose just one I would choose the Holly because they are the most unique.
Claire boots in size 7 1/2, please!
Abigail in Taupe, please
I’ve been good all year!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the Holly!!! (Cute model, too!) Plus, the Esther’s are adorable. Can’t go wrong!
I would LOVE LOVE the Holly boots, in green & an 8.5 !
Oh my GOD!
I’ve been in love with these ankle boots for like ages now!
Such an amazing Giveaway thank you for sharing!
So, i’ve been on their store about 30 minutes now and it’s so difficult to decide. The ones i loved where these ones: https://www.shoemint.com/shoes/esther
