A sprained knee rendered me hard-pressed for flat shoes since heels are pretty much out of the question for the next month. And a string of colds made it clear that I needed warmer and more durable boots. So I went on a search through Shoreditch, Marylebone and Oxford Street for motorcycle boots since I figured they might be the answer to my footwear troubles. (I kept spotting them on the street in cloudy, rainy Paris on those girls who look obscenely cool with the slightly oily, piecey hair, smudged eyeliner and worn tees and thought they must be on to something.) I couldn’t decide between a brown pair by NDC or black ones by Kurt Geiger. I ended up going with the KG versions because they were about £100 cheaper and I (and my knee) couldn’t be more psyched about the purchase. I’ve literally been wearing them every day, minus the smudged eyeliner and piecey hair.
