The Shoe Boot

[fabricjam]

I've run a search, and am surprised to find no thread on the shoe boot!

I simply love this trend.

The Olsen twins, Alexa Chung and Sienna Miller all wear the shoe boot well.

My favourite shoe boot is this beautiful pair by Kenneth Cole..

Aren't these Oxfords?

Aren't these Oxfords?

They're Kenneth Cole Lace Up Shoe Boots.

I might be incorrect, and can I see the definite Oxford influence, but I never thought of them as Oxfords? I would have referred to a mens shoe as an Oxford. Most designers refer to the style and height of the boots as shoe boots.



Anyway, whatever they are, I love them!

I have those shoes! and I got them on sale.

But seriously this thread feels like deja vu. We really didn't have any threads on heeled oxfords, booties, ankle boots, etc? Which is what most of what's posted is. This has been a trend for a while so it's hard to believe we didn't already discuss it. But if there really was no thread then it's about time!

I don't these shoes!!!!! well i guess this add to my list of ugly trend for fall which include these and those fringe boots 0_0

 

[kimberwyn]

Dont these fall under booties??

 

[MissMagAddict]

I don't care what Kenneth Cole calls them... those shoes are Oxfords. Look in any magazine & Oxfords is what that style of shoe is called.

They aren't really ankle boots as they don't reach your ankle!

I love shoe boots. We have a really nice pair where I work (Evans in the UK).

I'm sure you're quite right, however a lot of designers refer to them as a shoe boot, ie:

Christian Louboutin http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/33440

Jimmy Choo: http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/33893

Miu Miu: http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/33519

I guess we can safely say that both terms are commonly used?

Somebody had referred to them as ankle boots. Yes a lot of people may call them ankle boots too, but strictly speaking, a 'shoe boot' has a lower cut than an ankle boot. Hope that info helps!

I love a good ankle boot for Fall/WinterB)

I guess I refer to them as ankle boots nowadays. When I was in like 3rd grade I had a lot of shoes that looked like boots in style and material that had laces and came up just past my ankle, but lacked the high heel. Not quite so stylish.
