Urban Eclipse Boots

The Urban Eclipse Boots reflect a style strategy that might be described as the black-belt theory of fashion. They are aimed at women who regard their footwear as a weapon. The glossy black finish is no mere detail: it's the keynote of a design that sends a message. That message is unmistakable: you mean business. The combat-boot silhouette is a declaration of readiness for action. The straps and studs that festoon the shaft are not there for ornament: they are there to overawe the enemy. The whole concept of the boot's design can be seen as a development of the idea that if you look as if you have just stepped out of a movie starring a female superhero, you might just get away with behaving like one. The side zipper is a practical touch, a detail that says that you are not just a fashion victim: you are a fashion warrior. The chunky rubber sole is the base of operations, the headquarters from which you will launch your campaign to take over the world. But you need to be able to walk the world first, and the thick, textured sole will make sure you can.
