Oh, I love cognac for spring! If you want to do pastels, the cognac really sets them off and keeps them from looking too "fru-fru."

I personally think that every color you mentioned works. Patent too, not sure about the suede.

If I were too get a pair of spring boors ( sadly not going to happen) I would get a cognac/tan leather pair to with with shirts/dresses and bare legs for leg elongating effect.

I'm hoping to wear my gray patent boots into the spring. I don't think of suede as a spring fabric -- unless maybe in cream. Other colors sound good too.

I am watching these boots for spring in hopes of a sale (because sadly, it is quite possible to wear boots in Chicago at least until May). They are a taupe-colored patent leather.

The truth is though, that Aquatalia goes on sale only rarely ... but just maybe, in this economy, there might be a chance!

Laura, those look like perfect spring boots! I love the small heels and that they are weatherproof.

Laura I love your choice of boot too. They are perfect for spring. I love the heel as it looks comfy for walking.

Thanks, ladies. I'll be on the lookout for tan or cognac on sale.

Laura, those are beautiful boots. I especially like the marble effect. I hope you find them on sale. Whenever I see Aquatalia on sale, only small sizes are left :( Actually Endless is beginning to reduce prices on certain styles and colors. They don't have Holly, though :(

Well I'll keep an eye on them and let everyone know if they go on sale. They are labeled "new" on Zappos so it might be awhile ...
