The Great Big Bootie Review!!



I'm gearing up for Fall and Winter, okay AND Spring, so I've tried the ten booties pictured and a couple more 😊 Let's just get right down to business, starting with my favorites. I'm judging all of them based mostly on comfort and cuteness. I want to wear them to work, and they HAVE to be comfortable for my teaching job where I'm on my feet most of the day. 
If you want to skip all the commentary and just go straight to the links, skip all the way to the bottom of this post and they are all there in one spot. I won't blame you at all 😎 
If you want to hear my reviews of each, well grab your coffee, this is going to be a long post 😄--

Of all of the ones that I've tried, I am kicking myself for not keeping the one pictured below. 



It was THE most comfortable one out of the dozens that I've tried. I ordered it in the Taupe Oiled Suede during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and apparently I was suffering from temporary insanity because I sent it back thinking I might be able to do better. I was dead wrong. I'm reordering even though it's no longer on sale, but this time in Black because that's what I now need.  Feels like about a 2" heel, TTS and available here: http://shopstyle.it/l/fUj4  [affiliate link]


I did find a different, lighter taupe bootie that I like just as much with a low heel, pictured below.




It's hard to see in the pics, but they're perforated and super cute! Sooo comfy and that side slit makes them the CUTEST! They are a little darker than they look like they are on the store site!



Okay, that's it-these are my fav low heel bootie. They are Lucky Brand and available here: http://shopstyle.it/l/fUkI

On to my next fav, this new Sam Edelman with THOSE TIES and I am completely obsessed! They're the softest supple suede and when you see them in person they seriously look like a million dollars. They zip up the back so you don't have to mess with the ties more than once to get them right and then you can just use the zip in the back to get them on and off. Easy! Comfy and easy to walk in, TTS and in three colors here: http://shopstyle.it/l/fUqe

The Stone Blue Suede is pictured below. I'd call it a medium grey with just a hint of blue. They. Are. Gorgeous. ALL of the colors are gorgeous. You know what? Let's just make these a tie for first place too 💗



Okay now on to the section that I call mislabeled shooties. They're cut low enough that I would not call them a bootie, even though that's what they are named on the store sites. When your entire ankle is showing, I call that a shootie. In any case, they're all comfy and cute. It's just a matter of what you're looking for. I am looking for booties, not shooties currently, so these all went back. 




Above are Franco Sarto. Great colors, comfy, great quality. These would be great for work if you need a black shootie, because the heel is the same color as the top which makes them look less casual and therefore perfect for work. Great for times that it's too cold for a flat or a pump, but a bootie seems like too much. TTS and available in two colors here: http://shopstyle.it/l/fUxF  [affiliate link]

Next is the Caslon pair--





Pictured above and below are the Caslon bootie (shootie really). These are crazy similar to the Franco Sarto ones. Comfy, cute, TTS. The only difference between these and the Franco Sarto ones are that the Caslon in Black have a light brown wood color heel and the Franco Sarto in Black have a black stained wood heel. Again, if you're shopping for a pair to wear to work and are good with a shootie, I'd recommend the France Sarto up above. Back to the Caslon though--they just don't look right with ankle denim, do they? But they'll look great with work pants or longer denim.

Okay, back to actual booties! I've had these for awhile now and love them! The color is so good and so versatile! They do have a higher heel and I felt the need to add a memory foam insert, but they look and feel great if you're alright with a higher heel. 



These are Vince Camuto from last year, but still available at a crazy good price in brown and black, TTS, here: http://shopstyle.it/l/fUE1  [affiliate link]



What about when it rains? Do waterproof booties that are super cute really exist??


YES THEY DO!!!!  Suede is gorgeous but I won't wear them if the weather isn't completely dry. You can have it both ways with these 💓 They're comfy, they're cute, they're waterproof but look like regular gorgeous suede! Pictured above, TTS and available in four colors here: http://shopstyle.it/l/fUJd [affiliate link]



Next, a deep side slit and super comfy suede option--



So comfy and so cute! TTS and available in three colors for only $75 but going fast here: http://shopstyle.it/l/fUO3

And THEN...




I've always wanted a blush bootie and I've finally found a comfy one that isn't a small fortune! They are beautiful! The perfect shade of pink. Not too crazy pink, just a nice subtle but definite blush. 




Comfy and TTS and available in two more colors but going fast here: http://shopstyle.it/l/fULC
Top--so cute, very oversized. I sized down two sizes to a small. Such great colors here: http://shopstyle.it/l/fUMV

Now for the great big NO. 



I'm still angry at these booties. I'm angry because they are so stinkin' super cute but I tried on my normal size and every size around it, and they either hurt or they slip around my heel so much that I couldn't do it. Boo. I know lots of other girls that have said the same, so please beware of these gorgeous but impossible booties: http://shopstyle.it/l/fUVd [affiliate link]

WHEW! Now off to enjoy the rest of the weekend! I hope to lay around as much as possible because life has been CRAZY lately 😜  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!
XOXO,
Not A Two
