Okay boys and girls, pay attention. I’m only going to say this once a thousand times.
This is not a boot… This is a boot.
This is not a boot… This is a boot.
This is not a boot… This is a boot. (I know!. I wouldn’t wear it either but the point is, it is a boot.)
Everybody got it? Alrighty then. Discuss.

I’m with you on this one. The very definition of “boot” implies that some protection is being provided. (See, for instance, the boot on a CV joint.) When I was young, however many centuries ago, if the toe of your boot was open, you needed new boots.

Yeah… boots don’t have open toes.

I can’t tell you how irritating it is to search for “boot” and get as a result a million links to these spike-heeled, toeless abominations.

I think the “not a boot” examples are often called “booties” by some fashionistas. Although when I think of booty I think of baby feet or Kim Kardashian’s tuchus.
