It may be summertime now in Hong Kong, but we'll be trading in our flip-flops for a pair of boots before we know it. Stay ahead of the game with our top five boot picks for women from Fall/Winter 2012:
1. Gianvito Rossi
These black suede booties with feather trim (HK$7,700) are the perfect mix of style and sass. The black and red feathers provide that extra oomph factor to your outfit, be it with cigarette jeans or a smoking dress.

2. Tod's
The Tod's ankle boot with monk strap offers a strong and casual look. We love the warm suede material and the extra platform in the front for an extra few inches that won't kill our feet.

3. Bally
Bondage anyone? These Urban Lux Viollet black boots from Bally (HK$11,590) with a leather criss-cross design offer a touch of naughtiness to your otherwise everyday outfit.

4. Gucci
We like Gucci's Arizona boot for its sleek, brown silhouette that matches pretty much anything in your wardrobe. Plus, the light brown heel creates a subtle yet interesting contrast.

5. Hogan
With the help of ace designer Karl Lagerfield, Hogan’s F/W collection fuses haute couture and urban-chic styles. These grey soft suede ankle boots with a rubber sole and kitten heel makes them practical for all types of weather.
