She added, “My fans have been waiting for a boot from me for a long time, so I knew when I did it, it had to be right. From start to finish, Giuseppe just understood what I wanted and helped make this idea a reality.Boots have always made me feel strong. They have helped me feel confident in moments when I have been anything but. There is something about putting on a statement boot that makes you feel strong and ready to take on your day.”
The Mary boot retails for $1,295 and is now available Giuseppe Zanotti’s store in Atlanta and on giuseppezanotti.com.
