Cutout Botties – Shoes Trend – Stock up for Spring 2009
I was wearing a pair of gorgeous Linea Paolo cut out botties at the lingerie trade show.

One woman asked me if these were Balenciagas, and when I told her they were not, she said that? mine were the knock-offs? of Balanciaga style. Not offended a bit, I only began to wonder, if Balenciaga was first to introduce the cutout booties style, and if so in what season, beecause? as far as I know, this trend really started catching in the Spring / Summer of 2008, but is continuing to gain popularity, and many Spring 2009 lines are introducing styles with these features.
The? cutout booties provide the high-cut coverage of a bootie, combined with the airiness of a sandal. They can be have cut away sides, open toes, cut out heels, or any combination of those features, cutout booties are for all seasons from early Fall to early Summer.? Cut out booties usually have high heel? which adds some? sex apeal? to mult-seasonal dressy look. They can compliment almost any simple of dressier outfit? from jeans to dresses.
I looked through the internet for those Balenciaga boots or shoes that looked so similar to my Linea Paolo “knock offs” but could not find any, but this pair that looks somewhat similar.
If this is what she meant, than I choose my Linea Paolo boots, or oxford pumps. While searching for Balenciaga cutout booties, I came accross other styles that look more similar to my Linea Paolo booties. One is leather oxford pump by Philosophy di Alberta Feretti.
