These $50 Old Navy Zipped Boots Are Just as Chic as the $1500 Pair I Have Been Coveting Since Last Winter
I would be willing to bet that you are already quite aware of the massive popularity of The Row’s front-zip ankle boots. The sleek lug style boot has had fashion people in a chokehold for years now and the style doesn’t seem to be going anywhere soon as evidenced from my Instagram feed and just a quick glance at celebrities and stylish people from NYC to Paris. I kept from securing a pair or my own knowing all too well how fast designer trends come and go—not to mention the high price tag—but I’m admittedly still smitten with the cool designer boots in 2025.
It seems I am not alone in my continual interest, as a plethora of standout alternatives have been showing up at some of my favorite retailers at various price points. One such pair caught my eye this week at Old Navy. They have a $50 alt in both black and brown suede options that just so happen to be on sale for $30 right now. These are undoubtedly a great way to satisfy the craving without breaking the bank.
Keep scrolling to shop The Row’s highly-coveted zipped boot as well as a variety of alternatives, including Old Navy’s offering. This particular affordable pair is likely to sell out before you know it.
