Ankle boot-style shoes??? Is there a particular name for these types of shoes/sandals that look like boots? Here's a pic:

Zapatos oldies. Esta temporada vuelven los zapatos de inspiración lady. Los tacones bajan y las puntas se afilan. Detalles de flores, lazos y tejidos brocados para salones, Mary Janes y **abotinados**. Para el día vuelven los mocasines con o sin tacones. Tonuca nos presentó su colección de invirno con este tipo de zapatos.
