Knit Boots

Normally I would advise staying away from wearing any knit boot, but after finding the Fratelli Rossetti summer knit boot (top left) I was inspired to find more.

Reading left to right:

1 / Fratelli Rossetti suede and leather knit boot from the summer 2010 collection

2 / Bless n4 Watwasitagain

3 / Urban Outfitters knitted boots - not available anymore, but I really like them

4 / Sanita Knit Cone Wood Boot

5 / Bless Eram Knit shoes or also available here

6 / Textile pattern leather boot - not really knit but it fits and there's more patterns
