Great find! Over-the-knee boots at Marshalls

Over-the-knee boots started to make their appearance last fall and they're still a hot item this fall/winter. These boots from Marshalls (below) are one of our favorite finds this season. We purchased a pair and can confidently rate them as eye-catching and comfortable. They can be worn over-the-knee or folded below the knee. It's like having two boots in one. And you cannot beat the price: $80 for leather! Other stores will offer man-made material for the same or higher price. Get 'em before they're sold out.

Lucky brand over-the-knee boots
Discount price: $79.99
Original price: $169.00
Spotted: Marshalls, Rego Park (Queens)
Also available: Macys.com for $84
