Maximal Boots to wear with Cropped Pants/Jeans

Angie

Must expose the entire boot - hence cropped bottoms are best. Could be a fun look. Certainly different. Have not seen them in person so cannot vouch for their comfort.

I love the flower ones. Maybe I can paint some meh booties that I have if I figure out what paint to use.

FUN. I like the black with the purple and red flowers. Heels are all too high for me though. =(

I would wear with skirts personally, with bare legs. Lace up ones with culottes.

ETA: ooh, I like Joyce's idea of painting some. Don't really think I have the artistic talent though, LOL.

So much fun! They remind me of the ones I saw in Paris last year. I had them labeled as "Paris crazy boots" in my picture file;-) Somebody needs to get some.

I've never come across this brand before. These are great, in a Chie Mihara, but better-priced way!

I saw a lady at Starbucks yesterday wearing a pair of boots along these lines - blue and black plaid, high wedges. She was wearing distressed lightwash slim boyfriend jeans cuffed to show the boots, and a sweater knit poncho. In the words of Tim Gunn, it was a lot of look, but it seemed to suit her.

Also, they remind me of these Valentinos but at a much more reasonable price!

I hope they work out, Carole and Linda.

Joyce, how crafty of you.

INDEED, Diana and Ummlila. Easier on the wallet than the Valentinos for sure. And the lace- up styles are fun with skirts and dresses. Good idea.

HAH, Carter. Fab pics.

Oh my! What works of art! I particularly love the "Dramatic" ones. Especially the black with the red ones!

I like several of these, but I've never had good luck with getting the boots/cuffed pants look to work for me.

Those are truly awesome! And now I'm reminded that I have a pair of boots that I was planning to dye (I was going to do them black), maybe I should do a fun colour and some detailing

Wow! I LOVE the blue and brown ones. Just when I was settling on black and navy and white as my neutrals, too. Although they might work well with my white faux leather skirt, hmm.

I like the ones with beige/yellow toes and black polka dots.

I feel like a few years ago I would have been more into this idea, but I'm liking simpler footwear now. I'm more attracted to the idea of a really streamlined boot with a bold print, rather than one with the print PLUS lacing, etc. A Valentino knockoff would make me happy.

However, I'm pretty glad I still have my crazy turquoise Jeffrey Campbell booties. They don't get worn a lot because of the heel height, but they will be really fun with my cropped jeans (which, incidentally, I'm wearing again today with the Freebird sandals!).

Those are some pretty great boots.

I saw a pair of Dries van Noten ankle boots at a thrift store once with amazing brocade fabric uppers. They were too big for me. I'm still sad about that. They were somehow dramatic, a bit grunge, a bit feminine, all at once, and I could easily picture them toned down with boyfriend jeans. The Spring Step boots remind me a bit of them.

Fluevogs are in the same vein for me, but I can never quite embrace the drama, preferring androgynous minimalism in my shoes. One of these days...

Very dramatic and a way to keep your ankles warm!

I just remembered the company these remind me of. Poetic Licence. There were so many I completely adored, with great color schemes and detailing, and a small dose of retro and a heavier dose of drama.

I think maximalism is coming back, at least as an option!

Shannon used to have a pair of Poetic Licence shoes.

These remind me of some Fluevog styles for sure.

What fun! I want all three pairs in the third row. Any of these would be great inspiration for some pattern mixing.

YES. Maximalism is back. And judging by the Spring 2016 collections so far, flounces, ruffles and romance are here to stay. Go Retro Futurism. Looks SO FRESH. I love it!
