krazykev64 Posted May 1, 2010 Share 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Histiletto Posted May 2, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted May 3, 2010 Share 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.

pussyinboots Posted May 5, 2010 Share 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:" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittyinboots Posted May 5, 2010 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris100575 Posted May 6, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn HH Posted May 6, 2010 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHLover Posted May 8, 2010 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bladerunner Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 How about these,more boot than sandal,they are one of my favourites and are really,really comfortable.

Alexa Posted May 20, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thighmax Posted May 21, 2010 Share 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.

Majo Posted May 27, 2010 Share 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.
