Sock It To Me

In our age of consumerism, what could be more popular than a 2 for 1 deal …. and in this case, the ultimate scenario of having your sock actually be your shoe. It’s a trend I’ve touched upon before and continue to ponder the everyday practicalities of: the sock-shoe. Is it a pragmatic approach to choosing a boot to purchase? How does one keep them clean? Should they be treated like any other shoe?
All great inquiries, but I will stand by my personal feelings and interest in the slimming qualities of having a boot with an ankle opening that actually fits securely. A sleek silhouette with no laces means getting out the door quicker too. And the shape really lends itself to transitional dressing, not having to wear a heavy boot means you are not just lighter on your feet, but more keen to embrace other lighter options too – like reading a book on a tablet instead of paperback, or a breezy knee-length skirt to float into spring…

Ok, these are gorgeous! I love the slim, ankle-hugging openings of these booties. I have tiny ankles and never like the look of the wide opening on me. Thanks for sharing and have a lovely day!

Alchima di Ballin shoes are my dream :) They look so elegant and understated. I’m going to set up sale alert :)

Brie, I liked your crush on Teva sandals so much. But this time, I can’t be on your side, the shoe-sock (sock-shoe?), for me it’s a No-No. :D
I always loved a slim fitting top of an ankle bootie. A wide opening never looks chic – hard to wear with jeans too. This way you can wear jeans (wide or slim legged) over top, skirts, the possibilities are much more.
I’ve got a similar pair of sock boots! Very beautiful and comfy!
I can of course only wear them indoors…

On pourrait aussi l’appeler chaussetture ?
These sandals are perfect for a date. I will wear them on Valentines Day to impress my boyfriend.
I love the blue Fendi ?. The styling in this post is beautiful!
Ohlala… Elles me font toutes envie… ^^
