Gee WaWa Tom Tom Boots

by pixie on October 30, 2008

So many boots…so little time! One reason I wait for cool weather to arrive in the fall is that I can start wearing my boots again. Something about them just makes me feel fabulous, and the taller the better.

Today I discovered Gee WaWa, a small artisan line of footwear. Many of the styles look like something I’d find in a vintage shop – kind of retro and well loved and funky — but still modern. These Tom Tom boots remind me of the amazing black/green Son of Sandlar boots I got at the Renaissance Faire this year: …but less costumey and more appropriate for street wear.

The semi-round toe and low stacked heel mean they would be comfortable to wear, and the soft ruffles and button detail make the Tom Tom style more feminine and keep the style from being too biker-y. I can see these with a little tweed skirt and tights, peeking out from under a longer skirt, or with jeans tucked in. I am not personally familiar with Gee WaWa quality, but they appear to be very well-made.

There is a Gee WaWa website, but it looks like it’s more or less been abandoned. For now, the best selection seems to be at Endless.com, where you can find Tom Toms in 3 colors and about 30 other Gee WaWa styles. The one thing to be aware of is that they reportedly fit narrowly in the calf. These boots are $280, but currently you can get 20% off at Endless if you buy 2 pairs of boots – might be worth it!
