krazykev64 Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 i just came across these sandal boots on the internet and i must say that they are rather nice to say the least. when i first see them i thought ''they would be nice to walk in'' support is excellent and your feet stay cool due to the open design. fill in my poll stating if you own a pair or if you would like a pair or not. maybe you prefer a high heel or a low heel:smile:
Histiletto Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 Boots - open toed, sandaled, or ugged just aren't within my scope to want. This doesn't mean they don't have a place for some, especially if the heels are shaped correctly.
Dawn HH Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 I voted, "Not my style", as they certainly aren't. I have seen this type of shoes and boots in shoe stores and they, heel or not, don't turn me on, but if they do turn you on , so be it and you should enjoy wearing them as much as you please. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
ClosetHeels Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 I voted that I don't have a pair, but would like to. These are very stylish.
pussyinboots Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Many of them are hideous I agree, however some designs, which utilise much thinner strap, or a 'cuff', and a thong or a cutaway at the toe, look gorgeous. They tend to be more expensive though. "Good Girls keep diaries....Bad Girls just don't have the time...!:icon_twisted:"
Kittyinboots Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Voted not my style. Too many cut outs or peep toes defeat the purpose of making it look like a boot. A boot by my definition should cover and protect the entire foot and ankle. Otherwise it should be designed to look like a sandal, in my opinion.
Guest Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 They are a bit of both worlds but it's a no from me. Conventional style sandals please Light lace straps are fine for the females A heavier strap would be preferred 12-20 mm for guys (me) but I'm yet to get some either heeled or wedges. I can make do with these at the moment as a halfway between courts and sandals. otherwise I'm normally flat and in shorts. Al
FXHH Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 voted DONT HAVE A PAIR BUT WOULD LOVE A PAIR however not quiet like ones in the pics, we have seen some great looking ones, and we will be getting some in the near future, wife loves them as well, specially the ones with the zip at the back to close the shoes we already fitted a few, just have not found the right fitting ones yet!!
wood&metal Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 I like my boots, but I'll pass on this whole "sandal-boot" thing... Never frown because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
Bubba136 Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 I kinda like the pair in Alsheel's post. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
chris100575 Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 I like sandals and I like boots, but not the two combined. I've seen a few pairs of peep toe boots recently and I'm not gone on those either.
Dawn HH Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 Chris100575:-) I'm like you and have seen the peep toe boots and I'm not a fan of them either. To see everything covered by the boot except the toes just doesn't look right to me. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
HHLover Posted May 8, 2010 Posted May 8, 2010 I voted that I don't have a pair but would love a pair. I didn't like them at first but after seeing Mena Suvari wear a pair over a month ago, I've changed my mind. They can be really sexy!
aussieheels1 Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 i love the sandal boots, i love them on women, somehow i'm not loving them on me...... i think i'm just not a fan of my own toes......
k6ps Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I'm generally not a fan of these either, but i love this particular design by Ann Demeulemeester very much --> http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT<>prd_id=845524446256679&site_refer=AFF001&site_refer=AFF001&siteID=J84DHJLQkR4-4bvvlvGjgFaiay2G9gb3tA especially the white ones. They even have my size readily available but damn expensive, even more thant Rick Owens boots Happy Heeling k6ps
benno Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Sandal boots can look amazing if done well and as part of a great outfit. Love the Louboutins I've attached!
pussyinboots Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 ^ I'm generally not a fan of Louboutin's but they are gorgeous! "Good Girls keep diaries....Bad Girls just don't have the time...!:icon_twisted:"
benno Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 How can anyone not be a fan of Louboutin? I admit I find some of his shoes really OTT but his back catalogue has so many incredible pairs of shoes.
pussyinboots Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 How can anyone not be a fan of Louboutin? I admit I find some of his shoes really OTT but his back catalogue has so many incredible pairs of shoes. It's called 'personal taste'....and I do not like a lot of his designs......

bladerunner Posted May 15, 2010 Posted May 15, 2010 How about these,more boot than sandal,they are one of my favourites and are really,really comfortable. Got them in purple suede and leopard print ponyskin as well. I just love those suede heels!!!!!
Alexa Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 I’ve not been particularly enamoured of sandal boots, at least not the varieties one sees on celebrities photographed stumbling out of nightclubs. Many of them seem to be like peeptoe ankle boots which I don’t like. I personally like my toes to be covered up when I’ve got shoes or boots on. However, earlier in the year I found these items in the Pleaser Seduce line and have adopted them as cheap and cheerful boots for the summer. The fact that they’re open means that they don’t get as clammy as patent thigh boots would otherwise, and under my favourite long skirts it’s not obvious I’ve got thigh boots on. One of my workmates asked me how high up they went and was quite impressed as I lifted the hem of my skirt. I see they do a similar style on the Electra platform sole which I’m tempted to get, because I like the shape of the heels, they’re inexpensive and they would be a fun boot to wear for summer evenings out. So maybe I do like sandal boots after all, just not the mainstream variety. Here are some pictures so you get the idea. Alexa

Got them in purple suede and leopard print ponyskin as well. If you ask me they're not boots, they're shoes. I like them, I think I'd prefer them either open or sling backed, but I do like them. Not sure which I'd like best out of your choice of colour, maybe I'd have to try them all on to be sure!
Thighmax Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 I generally don't like the sandals that look like boots but I saw a pair of knee highs that I really liked. I really don't like the peep toes or open toes though, so I guess I wouldn't like them. I have posted a picture of them, if I could get them with closed toes I would definitely want them.

Happy Heeling k6ps I usually wear sandals with T-shirts, shorts and/or blue jeans. I really enjoy espadrille styles but these are just a bit to busy for me.

Majo Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 Ok Pussyinboots... haven't seen those on the web yet; but I want a pair badly. I don't care the cost whatsoever. The thing is in the first picture they don't look as pretty as they do in they do when they are on. Maybe it's just the model's legs... I don't know.
