Giddy up! The Spring boot trend continues here in Chicago at Hanig's Footwear with the latest arrival, Old Gringo boots. Known for their artisinal hand-crafted boots, Old Gringo offers both vintage and contemporary styles. Hanig's Footwear is proud to present the 'Razz', a hand-distressed leather western boot, featuring intricate stitch details throughout. Throw these gorgeous boots on with a skirt or tuck them into your jeans for a casual chic look perfect for the new season.

The 'Catarina', a new sandal bowed recently from designer Thierry Rabotin, features a series of interlacing microfiber bands in a combination of subtle fashion colors. Grey continues to play a huge part in fashion forward colors, and the Thierry Rabotin 'Catarina' plays it up wonderfully with it's smooth nappa leather mary-jane buckle strap, and covered wedge heel. The requisite Thierry Rabotin addition of Poron memory foam to the insole adds total cushioning, for an all day comfort experience equivalent to that of a spa pampering. Thierry Rabotin continues to push the fashion and technical construction envelope, and his forward thinking is none more evident than when looking at the design over the instep (the microfiber bands interlace through leather rectangular cut-outs!) The ingenuity and sense of forward looking fashion continues to set Thierry Rabotin apart as one of the top designers in the world. Enjoy!

It's days like these in Chicago, when the snow simply won't stop, that shoes like Thierry Rabotin's sizzling hot 'Barb' come in handy. The latest Thierry Rabotin sandal to arrive at Hanig's Footwear, the 'Barb' is a gorgeous shot of bright purple guaranteed to melt away Winter's chill. Just looking at this sandal makes us feel a bit warmer. Besides the stunning color arrangement of the upper, we cannot forgo the multiple fashion/comfort aspects of this beauty. The Thierry Rabotin 'Barb' features an adjustable buckle strap in the both the rear of the heel, and over the instep for a totally custom fit. Not to mention the soft stretch microfiber over the toe, and the nappa leather lined insole for a completely luxurious experience. The 'Barb' knows shes hot, and stands tall at a proud 3' inches on a sculpted lightweight EVA rubber wedge. The platform bottom just adds some funk to this already show-stealing sandal. Thierry Rabotin knows Winter can last a lifetime (especially in Chicago), and thanks to his newest sandal, we can almost smell the flowers beginning to bloom.
