Peep Toe Boots- So good and so bad

Good boots gone bad because of short toes

I love peep toes. They're such an amazing cut that looks good with just about anything, and brings to mind visions of old Hollywood glamor.
Recently though I think this whole peep toe trend has gone a bit too far. First it was peep toe flats, which was not something I am a fan of. Now it's moved onto boots, which is sometimes good and sometimes a total disaster.

I own a couple pairs of peep toe boots, and have been wearing them for years, but just like anything else, as it starts to get more popular it starts to go to hell.

What should be a peep toe suddenly just turns into cutting the front off the boot so it looks like some kind of hideous, bastard sandal. Now you're walking around with leather wrapping your heel and ankle, and all your toes hanging out, making it look as if you had some kind of lawnmower accident with your boots.



My eyes! Dear god this is awful.

The other option is just a teeny, tiny cutout over the top of the toe, showing just a touch of toe, and looking like you dropped a pair of scissors and accidentally stabbed a hole into your boot.

Ultimately there's a right and wrong, good and bad, and it take s a little bit of looking, and a lot of trying on to find a pair that looks good. Once you find them you can pair them with anything from skinny jeans or leggings to dresses, skirts and shorts. But whatever you do, don't wear them with socks, nylons or tights. Disaster will ensue. And we'll all make fun of you, but whatever.
