Arlington-based boot company, Lane Boots, stole my heart this year with designs like Dawson and Jeni Lace. If you have a boot-lovin’ lady on your gift giving list, check out their Dakota in cheetah – a short shaft, distressed leather boot with super soft insoles, beautiful stitching, Fleur de Lis overlays, and the brand’s signature rockin’ turquoise soles.

Order Dakota ($365) direct from Lane Boots or check the website for a list of retailers all over the country.
