Thanks all. The booties sounds like something I could really like. I like how flip flops (here) are both casual but also dressed up and I think the boots fit the bill. No more switching from slippers to wedges to running shoes, lol.
Dumb question—how do you STYLE booties? I have a suede pair someone gave me and can’t figure out how to make them look right with my skinny jeans! (They are also not quite comfortable enough for my everyday shoes so I’ll need a new pair).
