  7. I think I like the more open-toed ones. I think they're cute, though most guys I know think they're odd-looking. Female fashion is more for other girls than guys, anyway :) I love the red patent sandal!

    ReplyDelete

    I need the cut out booties for the next season. :)

  23. What even more fabulous is the fact that this Fall I get to wear this booties in almost all jeweled tones. My heart belongs to Donna Karan emerald green booties. Thank you for the post and great pictures!

    ReplyDelete
  24. You've educated me today, CC. I would never have been able to identify a Shootie before today.

    ReplyDelete
  25. great post. I tried to resist seasons ago and looked like they will stay for a while.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Fabulous finds! These are so gorgeous...these boots always look amazing with a mini dress.

    ReplyDelete
  27. makes me want to buy more shoes! thanks cc! haha

    love love love any booties/sandles with lace on them..yum

    ReplyDelete
  28. I hated these at first...I guess I hated how they were worn. I love them now. I guess if you have the stems to pull them off, they work. The Alexander McQueen peep toes are amazing! I also love the L.A.M.B. Rangers, which are so adorable. I have been seeing the Givenchy platforms a lot lately on the feet of many stars.

    ReplyDelete
  29. My favourite trend by far. I hope it lasts forever because these are the only shoes I can wear and feel good in IE, my horrible scars on my ankles are covered up :(

    Sadly, most of these gorgeous pics are too high for me, but I do love the Elizabeth and James Luella Gladiator booties - again, too high, but one can dream.

    ReplyDelete
  30. i cannot pick a favorite for the life of me!

    ReplyDelete
  31. all the shoes are awesome! if only i were the richest girl in the world, i'll buy them all! :))

  34. Great shoes, they are so awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I am so out of the loop. Apparently I own a pair of shooties and didn't even realize it. Lol. I just called them boots. Oh dear.
    The ones you posted are beautiful. It makes me want to dash out of work and immediately go shoe shopping at Nordstrom right now!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Oh wow, you've outdone yourself CC! I was not expecting this bonanza of shoe porn today. Now, excuse me while I wipe the drool off my keyboard. ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  37. CC this is fabulous...I can't even pick a favorite, I'll take them all! :)

    XOXO

    ReplyDelete
  40. they are all so stunning!Can I have one of each please? Ok. Great! Thank you :)

    ReplyDelete
  41. Love it...now I REALLY can feel like it is ok to wear my low boots to work with a dress without feeling like a freak. My co-workers don't like this style, but I love it! It's a great way to use your boots during the summer and still get a little style going!

    ReplyDelete
  42. i usually like a full bootie! but some of these are delicious.

    love your term" shooties"
    you are sooo sweet.

  43. Can I tell you how jealous I am of your latest score? Gorgeous!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I have a love-hate relationship with these shooties - I tend to either find them hideous or covet them, depending on the pair. Those sheer Loub's (despite what you might think from my post today!) definitely fall in the "covet" category.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I totally love this trend. They are just such hot shoes!

  46. I absolutely agree. I love the "shooties". They scream fierceness and style. I'm obsessed you might say.

  49. I want the L.A.M.B. pair. Perhaps it's the ruffles, or the Mary-Jane like appeal. Ooh, I want some shooties! :)

    ReplyDelete
  50. Love the shootie! I still want the Alexander Wang ones from last season, but fear they may shorten me too much!

    ReplyDelete
  51. I can't stop starring at the Miu Miu gold shoes... thanks for introducing us!!! xoxo bycali

    ReplyDelete
  52. Too many beauties in your selection, I totally love this trend!

    ReplyDelete
  53. WOW these are badass!!! I love them all!!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Am SO with you on the shoeboot thing! I have a beautiful suede fringed pair from Dune (so beautiful in fact that I took one of my blog pics of them and used it as my Twitter background). Apart from the lack of red soles they are a double take of the Louboutin version that I spied on a pic of Rhianna. My shoes rock! Loving this blog Lady!! x

    ReplyDelete
  55. I am definitely behind this trend. They always look so special.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I'm so happy you did a post on these because I just love them! But I have to be honest (I am almost shamed to admit) that I have yet to wear/ purchase a pair! I've wanted to for so long but I just never know which ones to go for! I am going to look at all of your pics again and hopefully I will be on my way to a purchase! Ha!

    Great post as always love :) XOXO

  59. Some seriously stunning footwear! Loving those shoes from the Matthew Williamson resort look. And those Miu Miu suedes ones are gorgeous! Ooh and the Louboutin sheer lace shoes look so interesting. Yum and love the Topshop ones. Hope you're well dear :)

  61. Ah! I have a pair of 'shooties' (haha, hadn't come across that term before), but find mine so hard to use/style :( I think you need the right legs for it, and I sadly, do not have them...

  76. Very stylish, I am sure great for a ladies night out!

    ReplyDelete
  77. Oooh, so much eye candy! I prefer the more sandal-inspired versions like the Rupert Sanderson ones, though I love the skull element of the McQueen boot. So many gorgeous versions... I'm glad this trend isn't dying yet, considering I still have a pair I haven't worn yet. Great post as usual!

    ReplyDelete
  78. shoe booties are the hottest!!!

    ReplyDelete
  79. In general, not a fan of peeptoe shoe boots (I mean, whyyyyy? It's clearly for winter!!) - but some of these are covetable!
