1. The Studded Wonder

They’re not exactly practical (or wallet friendly), but these Alexander McQueen booties are undeniably lust worthy. Their heart-shaped embellishments, gold studs, and sky high heels make the $1,435 price tag worth it. Unfortunately, I’d have to move back home with the ‘rents to afford them! But if you have lots of cash to blow, you can find these at Zappos Couture.

2. Born to Be Wild

These Juicy Couture Rino wrap strap booties prove that oxblood booties don’t need heels to be sexy. For $328, you’ll score a badass pair of leather shoes that’ll last and last –and work with everything from black skinny jeans to opaque tights and a leather skirt. These and similar styles can be found on Shop Bop.

3. Fringed and Fabulous

Go boho with fringed oxblood booties from Charlotte Russe. For a reasonable $40, you can complete any maxi skirt/embroidered peasant blouse. Check your local H&M and Forever 21 stores for similar styles.

4. What’s up, Doc?

Leave it to the Doctor (Dr. Martens, that is) to give us a pair of oxblood booties Lisbeth Salander would love. Amazon offers the Leyton boot for $80 –a small price to pay for leather lace-ups that’ll weather almost any storm. And how amazing would they look with skintight grey skinnies and a leather motorcycle jacket?

5. Here’s Your Platform

These Alexy platform Chelsea boots from Top Shop are a pain-free way to stay fashion forward. Priced at $150, they’re a foot friendly alternative to regular heels. I’d wear them during the holiday season with tights and a flirty mini dress.

6. Laced-up Love

If you’re more girly chic than Dr. Martens cool, these AMPLE2 heavy sole boots will balance out your flirty dresses. You can check out this pair and similar styles at Top Shop. They’ll set you back $140, but for a shoe closet staple, the price is right.

7. There’s Nothing Flat about These

My last oxblood bootie pick features fabulous flatforms. They’ll add those extra inches and you can wear ‘em all night long. You’ll find these Vincent flatform ankle boots for $79.16 on ASOS’ website. They’d look extra sweet with grey tights and tunic.

These are 7 of this season’s hottest oxblood booties. Which ones would you wear? Do you have any of your own favorites to add to the list?
