You might recall that First Lady Dr. Jill Biden [1] wore a pair of boots that said "Vote" down the back [2] when she cast her ballot in Delaware. But did you know they're by fashion's much-loved brand Stuart Weitzman? Karlie Kloss and Mandy Moore also own the same style [3], and, like Jill, we're sure they've collected more from SW, too. If you study Dr. Biden's footwear choices over the course of the past several months, you'll find she's worn her trusty Stuart Weitzman shoes many times. Jill owns the 5050, Kirstie, and Milla designs, which she mixes and matches with her sophisticated wardrobe [4].
Even though she's usually on the go, Jill proves that a sturdy, structural heel can be the key to elevated dressing — no stiletto or pointy pump necessary. Ahead, we're showing you exactly when she wore her Stuart Weitzman shoes (she even coordinated them with a blazer and silk blouse for a visit to an apple orchard in Michigan!) and encourageing you to shop similar versions. It's undeniable that these silhouettes are classics that belong in everyone's closet [5]. Even if your eye is on one of the more affordable options we found, know they come with just as much style and sensibility as the boots on Jill's feet.
Jill wore her Vote boots throughout the campaign trail. She coordinated them with lace tights and a knee-length skirt while in St. Paul, MN, in early October 2020.
Jill famously wore the same Vote boots to the polls [7] to cast her ballot in Delaware alongside the future president.

Jill Biden Wearing Stuart Weitzman's Kirstie Boot
While the Kirstie is no longer available in Jill's suede taupe colorway, it's the perfect winter boot, as exhibited when she styled it with a white midi dress, pearls, and her floral face mask [11] for the evening of the inauguration.
Back in October 2020, Dr. Biden boarded the campaign plane in Philadelphia wearing a navy midi dress that revealed just the right amount of boot, coordinated with a matching suede camel blazer and graphic-printed scarf.

Jill Biden Wearing Stuart Weitzman's Milla Boot
In our personal opinion, these are Dr. Biden's chicest boots that come in a knee-high silhouette. By leaving a sliver of skin exposed at the knee on the front lawn of the White House a few days after the inauguration, she gave off slightly retro vibes and added a pop of colour with a cobalt-blue blazer.
