A Boy Named Schu

Schu Fall Boots

Spending your food budget on the perfect knee-highs seems like a grand idea during a shopping binge.

But you can’t eat that leather. No matter what quality it is.

Save your grocery money and spring for Schu instead. Now available for the first time in the U.S., the Paris- and Padova-based boot collection tops out at $130 a pair.

Fall sees slouchy black knee-grazers, oxblood booties, and a rugged ankle-high pair that laces up the back. They’re all lined in leather, and the uppers are suede rather than chintzy synthetics.

Go on: Fork it over.

Available at Reward, 55 North Second Street (267-773-8675 or rewardproject.com). To see styles, go to schu-shop.com.
