Boots are all the rage in Paris this year, not just for winter, but to wear all year long. And what a selection: knee length, above the knee, to the thigh, ankle height — they are everywhere. And in Paris, what can you expect but the most beautiful or outrageous designs you can imagine. In every color, with fur, buckles, sparkes and more. Here are just a few…

Flat boots at the Bon Marche in Paris
Boots are the main fashion item in every store in Paris, including the Bon Marche which devoted rows and rows to them.
