# Open-Toe Booties Transitional Season Shoes By Bianca | Published 2008-05-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-toe-booties References: [shopbop](http://www.shopbop.com/shoes-booties/br/v=1/2534374302060503.htm) Half-boot, [half-sandal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platformstyle-sandals), these are the perfect shoes for [transitioning between warmer seasons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandal-designs). When you're not quite ready to bare your whole sole, this is the best way to bootie up. They can be worn to dress up a [casual pair of jeans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nudes-capsule), or to add an element of hip to a more conservative office look. Featured in the gallery: 1.
