$\"\"$ <\/a>If you’re a Bootie Aficionado\u2122<\/span>, and who isn’t, this is the season you’ve been waiting for. For every time you’ve wondered why no one made booties with mink pom-poms or a thousand buckles, your prayers have been answered, with interest.<\/p>\n

Above, we have the Gianvito Rossi<\/strong> Sock Bootie. What is there to say except Ew, Stop It? $1,o95<\/p>\n

Why have just one pattern when there are so many? Why hold back?<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>This is the May Wong<\/em>, by Christian Loubouton<\/strong>, adding a touch of racism to a party on heels. I think this one could be described as “fun.” When you walk into a room, someone is bound to scream, “Your boots! What fun!” At $1,695, you get what you pay for. The tassel thingie alone is worth like $500, probably.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>Yay for Gucci<\/strong> (above)!\u00a0 As Gucci continues its Everything and the kitchen sink<\/em> aesthetic, one is almost disappointed to note that this bootie lacks the snakes, tigers and bees of last season. Let’s not be greedy though. Seven buckles AND a zipper is not nothing. Three different buckle styles plus the tapestry embroidery = a costly migraine. At $2,150, we may be spared the sight of this in real life. The Topshop version will be a manageable headache in comparison.<\/p>\n

Next, Tom Ford<\/strong>, who brings sexy back.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>Printed calf-hair, gold hardware, peep-toe and open heel, balanced precariously on a spindly stiletto. I’m hearing HELP! What do you hear? $1,590.<\/p>\n

Want to spend some real money? Nothing says $$$ like sparkly crystal.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>$5,995 for this classy Loubouton<\/strong> platform bootie is not much to spend for this level of sophistication. If anyone mistakes this for a Steve Madden knock off, just stick the red sole in their face.<\/p>\n

Now you really want me to stop but I can’t. Here’s the mink pom-poms. They look almost demure at this point, right?<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>Fendi<\/strong>, $1,150.\u00a0 That’s ____ per pom-pom. You do the math. Finally, for the win, behold:<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

Givenchy’s<\/strong> Floral Elegant Ankle Boot deserves the prize for the audacity of using the word Elegant. Way to cheat, Givenchy! It’s a copy of a copy by some brand I can’t remember. Maybe Jeffrey Campbell? I love the gratuitous little studs. $1,450 worth of tired faux punk. Would you wear these for free? Maybe that’s the litmus test.<\/p>\n

I’m done. Don’t be mad at me. I’m just here to help.<\/p>\n

If you have the energy, please weigh in with your own choice for the win.<\/p>\n
