First off, I can barely walk in my higher-heeled boots these days, and secondly, all of these just look kind of right to me for wearing at the moment. I especially like the cone heel on these sock booties.

And I think these look endlessly versatile.

This pair is just super-cheap.

I’m getting the tiniest goth vibe off of these.

It’s Rachel Comey’s Mars bootie, which my most stylish friend wears all winter long.

Another sock bootie, in glittery gold and black—perfect for a party. Here it is in black if that’s more your thing.

You could totally wear this with a dress.

A really quite elegant option from Veronica Beard.

I like the mix of textures here.

This pair is weatherproof, which is cool.

While this white pair reminds me somewhat of being a majorette, I also think there can be something very chic about a white boot.

Here’s a post I did on backpacks not long ago.
