First up- new black shoes from Vince Camuto- photo 1. This is one of those styles that as soon as I saw it I knew it was me. Black- check. Good heel height- check. Enough detail to be interesting- check. Nice leather (and suede)- check. So when they fit well and were comfortable too, they came home with me. I am really happy with these as I know I will wear them frequently.

Yesterday I received a recent order of boots- not so good. All 3 pairs are going back. A pair of low heeled white leather from VC Signature were too narrow. I know I've tried at least one other from that line and it was also too narrow so I think I need to give up on those. The second one was a pewter leather. They fit fine in the foot but they looked too sparkly and they were very wide at the ankle. I often wear pants out over ankle boots and I don't like when they catch on a gappy boot. The third pair is a light cognac suede ankle boot. They were also too narrow. So all of those are going back to Last Call.

Finally, a question. I still want to find something in the camel/nude/cognac range. I do have a deep brown boot. I was thinking that a cage bootie would be an almost year round style for me IF I could wear socks with it (which I don't really need until November or so.) I'm thinking of something like the one in photo 2 as an example. What do you think? Would you wear socks with these?
