Yesterday’s post on knee-high gladiator sandals reminded me of my previously expressed love for knee-high Minnetonka moccasins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That inspired me to check Minnetonka’s site for gladiator sandals. They do have a couple of styles<\/a>. Not knee-high ones, but you can get the ankle-high look at a reasonable price.<\/p>\n

There are also summertime variations on the Minnetonka five-layer fringe boot<\/a>.\u00a0 There’s a wedge …<\/p>\n

… and another wedge that might make you look like you have really hairy ankles.<\/p>\n

The hairy-ankle one is my favorite. It makes more of a statement.<\/p>\n

I’ve been thinking about summer versions of classic winter shoes for about a week, since a shoe store that I often walk past put a pair of bubblegum-pink Timberlands in their window. Warm-weather Timbs! I keep trying to take a photo from outside but my phone hasn’t been doing the color justice. It doesn’t look as bright as it should on my computer either, but maybe that’s my eyes\/settings.<\/p>\n

There are also Timberlands with summery floral tongues<\/a>. I was amused when I first saw them but it makes perfect sense. Timberland has been hot lately — why not push styles that work when it’s hot outside? Besides, I can’t knock a summer boot because I bought a cream-colored canvas pair from Opening Ceremony last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Those weren’t by Timberland, but they have that vibe, right? Speaking of Timberland, I did get a custom pair last year after falling in love with a knee-high style.<\/p>\n

Now that I think about it, in 2012, I blogged about (but didn’t purchase) knee-high Converse sneakers<\/a>. I seem to be obsessed: All you have to do is make knee-high version of any regular shoe and I’ll want it.<\/p>\n

In the interest of full disclosure, if you purchase any of the shoes listed here I get … absolutely nothing! Zero money! I don’t do that kind of business. The only items for sale on this blog are my own jewelry designs<\/a>. Everything else is stuff I happen to like. Please take note, all of you businesses that email and offer to pay me a pittance to shill a completely random product. I’m not going to do it, though I always get a good laugh when you say you’re a longtime reader of my blog and I’d be a perfect match for your breast pumps or lawnmowers! <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
