***Update: Me too tweeted me and confirmed that the cognac color will be available at Nordstrom’s soon in small sizes.**
Me too “legacy” bootie in mushroom and black (sizes 4-12)
I have on looking for the perfect ankle booties for the past couple of years (see review last year) and have found nothing that I like or that come in small sizes (size 5 or smaller). Each year, I find that either the design is too weird or the heel height is way too high. My requirements were:
– sleek and classic design
– almond toe
– max. heel height of 3.5″ or 4″ with 1″ hidden platform
– vamp/dip detail (not too low)
– shaft height to be no more than 3.5″
– leather not suede
– price under $150 (under $100 would be even better)
– in black and cognac/brown
– size 5 or 4.5
I realized that anything that came remotely close to my wish list and never came in a size 5 or smaller. It’s been very frustrating to say the least. I scoured the stores and internet last year, nothing. I came across these booties last night and was so happy they came in size 5 and smaller. I’ll do a review as soon as they come:) While doing some research, I found the same pair in cognac but unfortunately the smallest size is a 6. These are the perfect color so if you are lucky enough to have size 6-10, I would scoop these up fast! I hope the mushroom color will work out for me. If you happen to see this color in a size 5 in the cognac, please let me know.
I wanted to share before small sizes sell out. If you are looking for some ankle booties, these are the best that I have found and hope they are comfortable. They look very promising. Have you found any good ankle boots? Please share:)
On an unrelated note, J.Crew is having 25% off all regular and sale items with code: STYLE25. It’s a great time to pick up the jacquard dot popover top (see here), maritime blazer (see here) or this icon trench or camel wool cashmere coat (see review here).
Thank you for posting this! I’ve been looking for a pair of booties as well and I wear a 4. I wish they were a little bit cheaper though 🙂

These booties are very nice. I do hope you’re able to find a pair of booties to compliment your wardrobe nicely based on what you’re looking for in a pair of booties. I’m sure you’d make a lovely set of outfits of you wearing such shoes. 😉

Have you tried Sole Society? They’re online and they have a pair of booties that is really cute. It’s black, leather and very simple, but doesn’t cut the ankles of us short ladies.
I have not but will def check them out! Thank you!

I’m so glad you shared this. I’ve been searching for a classic pair of ankle boots as well as a pair of classic knee-high boots. These look great, but I don’t know if I want to wait for a sale only to find it sold it in most sizes. Did you ever look into the Jessica Simpson Minas (ankle boots from last year)? just wondering

I’m unfamiliar with the JS ankle boots but I think if you wait- small sizes will def sell out:(

Woodlynne by Born is my current go-to black leather ankle bootie. The best part is that the front V dips down pretty far, which is flattering for my shorter legs.

I wear a size 5 as well and agree it’s hard to find decent booties in our size at a good price. This is a very affordable, nice looking leather bootie! I really hope they’re comfy and looking forward to you review. 🙂
