My mum bought me my French Connection boots about 5 years ago and they were worn just about everyday until the autumn just gone when they finally gave up.
They have been re-soled and re-heeled numerous times due to the amount that I actually wore them but the leather where your foot bends has finally split.
This pair of boots is the best I have ever owned and I just hope that my new Nine West manage to live up to the high standard that my French Connections set.
My boots always looked good even after years of wear, just a re-heel/sole here and there and a bit of polish and they looked brand new again, they were extremely comfortable and I would wear them for 6 hour shopping trips with no problems.
The heels were only about 2.5 inches high which made them that bit more comfy too.
When I shopped for a replacement, French Connection did not have a style I liked so I have changed designer, time will tell if my new boots are just as good.
