Maybe you could start things off by posting a few of your favorite examples??

perhaps, I can help push off with these examples. I saw this trend start last season and am so glad to see it's full blown fabulous now.

Just one of my current favorites.

They are beginning to grow on me! I think I really like them now!

With floaty, girly dresses and sheer tights. Especially when they have a punky, fetish edge

^ those white ones look nice with the black tights.

I'm not too fond of this trend, at least not for myself.

I think it looks interesting, to the extent of looking at in pictures or spreads, but definitely not practical. Kind of ridiculous in real life, actually.

betty, credits so we know where you saw them! I think the second ones are Givenchy, right?

I agree, this trend looks right with tights or socks.

The majority of open-toe boots I've seen are mostly lace-up boots that have open toes. Personally, I think this is just a way to open-toe everything. I think peep-toes are for pumps and flats only. Not boots. Not sneakers. Not UGGs. Not even high-heel oxfords. Either pumps or flats. Open-toe boots just don't look right to me. I almost immediately think sandals when I see an open-toe shoe. I think of sleek footwear to wear with boots and booties. You can't say sleek with any open-toe boots. Some blog comments I saw on some other website talked about how your feet could sweat in open-toe boots like the ones we're mentioning in this thread.

Here are three open-toe booties for perspective, courtesy of Lucky Magazine: < http://www.luckymag.com/style/obsess...en_toe_booties >. I don't like boots with open toes. I still almost exclusively think cold weather with boots. I've seen some nice closed-toe ankle boots and booties before. If I was a femme and wanted to show my feet, that's why I'd wear sandals or peep-toe pumps. NOT open-toe boots or whatever.

I really don't like this trend...I think they just look silly and unnecessary.
