... this young lady's footwear.
I mean, from the front and side, they generally look like 19th century style lace-up booties. And that's fine. I understand that. I have a context for that. But...
The toes and heels are open. Like sandals.
Are these a thing? Open toed, open heeled, lace up boots? Are these "in" now?
And why? Why would one want open toed, open heeled boots, or sandals that encase one's ankle in leather? The point of boots is to be closed and warm; the point of sandals is to be open and cool. Hybridizing the two defeats every single one of these purposes.
And what does one call them? Bandals? Sooties?
I'm quite confused.

Didn't Roman Soldiers wear that stuff while fighting the Gallic wars? Yikes.
BK: I think the Roman soldiers had their heels covered? At least, the ones in Spartacus did. (this is where I get all my totally legit knowledge of Roman fashion-- Spartacus).
