I will definitely be partaking in this trend. Btw, I am short with long legs and i think this will be quite cute on me, don’t knock a trend until you try it! It is not unanimous Angie! :) I really like these sandals, with the right outfit these would be edgy and cool. I will definitely be partaking in this trend.

I’d say it’s pretty much unanimous that there are no takers for this trend. HannaC, it’s interesting that you perceive the look to work as well, especially on the streets of Israel. I like your point about this style providing variety amongst the multitudes of sandals worn in warm weather countries. A great perspective. Wow.

With a short knitted dress, or leggings and a tunic, on a tall girl with long legs, it is very edgy, trendy, and very Israeli. The thing is that we have "sandals weather" for most of the year here in Israel, so we have to be creative with our sandals. After all, it is boring to wear the same standard strappy version all the time. Also, boots is such a fab look, but it is almost always too hot for them here. So sandal booties combine the best of all worlds :) I actually like the look, on the right person (not me)!

Seasonal mishap! Why do that to yourself? This is too much like the girls I see all summer long wearing Uggs and miniskirts. Seasonal mishap! Why do that to yourself?

Very oxymoronic, indeed. Plus I have cankles. It would never work.... So it’s hot enough for naked toes but cool enough for warm ankles? Very oxymoronic, indeed. Plus I have cankles.

I find it interesting that so many go back to the idea that these are not practical due to weather issues. That would make sense if people only wore sandals (thong or otherwise) on the hottest of hot days, and that we only wore boots on the coldest or "wet-est" days. This simply isn't the case. Our choice of shoes usually says more about our style than it does about the weather outside (within reason of course). If the weather is fairly moderate you can get away with pretty much anything on your feet. (I've been really, really hot before, but I don't know if I've ever observed my ankles sweating!) That said - I dig 'em. I'm 6 feet tall and have a 34 inch inseam (at least). I think I can pull off shoes that make my legs shorter, though I totally understand that not everyone can (at the same time, I look absurd in 4 inch heels). I doubt I'll get any though because I agree - they are currently a little over priced for a "fashion" piece (unless my 3 kids won't mind skipping university one day!) :o) I loved reading all of these comments!

Like others I first thought they looked a bit odd. But then thinking about it, they combine my 2 favourite articles of footwear: boots and sandals. Plus your feet heat up alot more than ankles do. I actually really like the 2 pairs on the right. Season-wise I think they could get a lot of wear in Australia. Trend-wise, maybe not. I'll be interested to see if they appear here in stores next summer!!! Wow I have never seen anything like these before!!!
