The first time I saw them -- in mainstream fashion -- was a few months back in their Benneton iteration -- half Docs, half motorcycle boots, all patent leather:
I think they run a little under $200. They're fun but in bright red, they're a little too Ronald McAdoodly, you know?
Whoop there they are! At DELIA'S. So you KNOW they're back.

Golden Goose is a line of luxury riding-inspired boots designed by Italian designers Francesca and Alessandro Gallo. They ain't cheap, but they sure are purdy. Each limited-edition pair of boots are marked with a serial number, and they come pre-distressed and destroyed. WANT!My love of leopard-printed fashions is well documented. Even leopard-print shoes. (Or cheetah-print. Whatever. Tomato/ tomahto.) But not boots. Ack.
Anyway, so back to motorcycle/engineer boots -- they're HUGE for fall, and they're everywhere -- Michael Kors, Aldo, Steve Madden, Guess, Frye (of course), but the best ones I've seen -- and probably the most expensive ones are these:

Huzzabut these? http://www.fluevog.com/code/?w[0]=search%3Aheidi&pp=1&view=detail&p=2&colourID=2075
Got 'em in black two years ago, wear 'em nonstop. They don't have that run-over-by-rush-hour-traffic distress of the $1,100 ones, but still damn pretty.
Love all the golden goose boots I've seen. Unfortunately can't afford any of the pricey sobs.
I'm a boot fanatic for sure, and Docs have always been among my fave pair.
Great post - btw - you are our "Best of The Blogs" post of the day!

Freaking GREAT POST! These all look so cool. I didn't even KNOW I wanted a lace up pair until saw your selections.

haha my boyfriend just ordered a pair of boots that look just like the delias ones (except his are boy boots!)
They're too big for me, otherwise I would wear them :(
I'm having a hard time with the resurgence of Doc Martens! I only let go of mine five years ago (I was a teenage punk rocker...yeah, I'm pretty cool) and I'm not quite ready for them yet. Still, I'm thinking I probably shouldn't have gotten rid of all my pairs.
