a quick browse of some over the knee boots i would do: 

donald j pliner (these are excellent in many ways, both deconstructed and sensible even given how many sexy tropes they brush against, a delicious leather) 

see how many elements of a rick boot those much cheaper boots have! i would do this particular rick owens boot, even though i’m not a wedge girl. i loooove how skeletal the seaming is (you know how i feel about this!) which i think is an underrated element of his boots in general. i would prefer something slouchier, for many reasons including that less slouchy things won’t normally fit around my legs

these stuart weitzmans have many of the above elements in another downmarket shape, but i hate the heel and the athletic edge

around my birthday, i officially purchased some forever summer daily sandals for around FORTY dollars. they’re vaneli’s platform faux teva in their op checkerboard pattern (the pattern seen here). these haunted me for months and i waited patiently for some kind of discount. i’m happy with this price as i think these will really commit themselves to me, but i’d still like an additional saddle tan kinda leather pair for summer! one thing i’ve never really communicated online is exactly how much i wear black and white as a color/mixed black and white patterns esp. knockoff op art shit! it’s a core thing!

paid a whole ten dollars at a thrift store for a pair of straight up clarks waitress shoes because they were BLACK PATENT and, obviously, comfortable. imagine waitress shoes but black patent! hello. very pleased with these. they velcro. so comfortable and very genre with black jeggings 

had the rare luck of thrifting a men’s shoe in my size--this is always my dream, as i like men’s shoes! they are strange and white. everything after this was $5 or less

blue lace up booties (cute, but they are plastic and they squeak when i walk)

rich chocolate alligator rockports that seem like they ought to be more comfortable than they are. thought these would fill a void for a daily brown shoe but i simply need a comfy daily brown pointed wingtip, can’t function otherwise 

80s reebok classics in the BLUEST blue (plz follow for the saga of this/if you want more re: my hunt for a reebok) 

some gold heels that liberated me to get rid of almost every other heel i own (follow if you want to know all of the heels i have left) (also if you remember my old lucite shoes, wear a 6.5-7 and want to buy them)
