So designers have been tinkering away, cross-breeding boots. What with? Backpacks? Bikinis? Tomato plants?
Nothing so exciting, I'm afraid. We're just dealing with small modifications, and all within the footwear genus. Thus we now have shoots (shoe-boots) and shbandals (shoe-boot-sandals).
Not the shbandal! I hope you're not advocating boots with peep-toes again. The whole purpose of a boot is to keep your toes warm and save you money on a pedicure, is it not?
Could I interest you in a peep-heel, instead? Asos, for instance, has a punky patent buckled style called Auckland (£55, asos.com) with a cutaway heel that's perfect for those days when your toes are chilly but the backs of your feet are just too hot. Happens to me all the time you know!
How terribly practical. Try another one on me…
OK, slightly less bonkers and decidedly more elegant are the ever-so-slightly sparkly, slash-fronted "Blythe" shoe-boots from Danish label Ganni (£185, plumo.com, above). More delicate than your usual ankle boot with the deep V-opening, they'll keep both toes and heels toasty. No, don't say anything… you're welcome.
Of course, for an altogether more sensible, timeless style that does not seek to smash new frontiers, look no further than the Berdini Autumn/Winter catalogue, where you will find the quintessential Italian shoe range from these designers to Royalty.
No need to set shocking, bizarre new trends when timeless, fashion and quality speaks for itself. See them here, and yes, they are well under £300, in case you wondered.
