The Bass Dempsey Boot – The Perfect Boot For $70

The Bass Dempsey Side Zip Boot – $70.00 – $71.38

Nice toe.

Boots are like neckties in the way that you’d think the simple ones would cost less.  But they don’t.  So finding a pair of trim silhouette, rounded toe dress boots for a reasonable price can be a major chore.  And one of the last places you’d probably look is under the brand header “Bass.”

Well way to go Bass.  Sorry for underestimating you.

I can’t see anything wrong with the Dempsey by Bass.  It’s plain as can be, it doesn’t look clunky, the toe is trimly rounded off, and it’s $70.  Wear them with jeans, chinos, cords, even your heavier wool patterned pants.  Also available through Endless and Zappos, but you’ll pay a little more there.  Different views of the boots are available at Zappos.

Is this the best bang for your buck boot out there?  If you’ve got another find, leave it in the comments section below.
