Seasons ago when we firsted started sporting booties as a regular form of footwear, we admit we bought our first pair rather sheepishly. We had seen them on the runway, on the feet of the cast of Sex and the City and on retail shelves, but there was something about the bootie that left us slightly intimidated. That's why our first pair of booties was black, barely 3 inches high and as nondescript as a pair of booties could be.

Fast forward several years and we can't live without our booties. That first pair of unremarkable booties is long gone and in their place are bright ones, buckle ones, zipper ones and patent ones. We've expanded our bootie collection to include anything that's slightly wild with a bit of a personality, just like the 10 pairs we've selected below. They're bold, they're fun and they're all under $250! So embrace the bootie addiction and make sure they stand out from the crowd!
