577 Shares

As we transition into fall, I am excited to start wearing my favorite petite friendly short booties. I was first introduced to these amazing booties (Vince Camuto Franell Notched Bootie) last year and am so glad that I found them. As a petite gal I always thought I could not wear short booties and consistently heard the following statements…

“They cut off your legs”
“Make you look shorter”
“Do not elongate your legs”
“Not petite friendly”
“Not for petite gals”

And the list goes on…

3 Reasons these short booties are a Petite Friendly Fit: Vince Camuto Franell Booties

Notched Opening: This unique notched opening or front dip allow the legs to stay elongated without abruptly cutting off your legs at the ankle. Your eyes are drawn down to your upper foot instead of the top of your ankle. This is in contrast to the typical straight front feature on most short ankle booties.

Extended Sizing: These Vince Camuto Franell Notched Bootie are available in sizes 5 – 12. So whether you are petite and wear a size 5 or wear a larger size, you are covered with this range of sizes.

Heel Height: These short booties have a 3.5” heel. This height is perfect for petite gals and continues to lengthen your legs. This is in contrast to ankle booties that have no or minimal heel heights.

Why I LOVE these Vince Camuto Franell Booties

Petite-Friendly Fit: see above

Side Zip Closure: Easily get in and out of these booties with a side zipper. Plus the zipper matches the suede or leather to keep this bootie stylish.

Quality Suede & Leather: This Vince Camuto Franell Notched Bootie comes in 2 leather options and 2 suede options. Each style is made with high-quality materials and classic colors to match many outfits.

Wild Mushroom Verona Suede

Charcoal Grey Verona Suede

Rich Cognac Leather

Black Luxe Leather

Bark Suede (new color this year)

Block Heel: Block heel at 3.5” helps with comfort and stability in this bootie.

Affordable: If you read my blog regularly you know that I almost NEVER purchase anything at full-price. These booties are affordable at $129 and Vince Camuto does offer sales/discounts with free shipping. Compare to the Rag & Bone Booties that have a similar style but at a higher price point of $495 (or on sale for $344.98 at Nordstrom’s).

How to Wear Short Booties Comfortably all Day Long

Sock: You may be wondering what type of sock do you wear with a notched opening bootie? I wear a no-show sock with these. There are multiple options available. My favorite is Sheec Socks (20% off with code PSSVIP20 and full blog post here). Other options include: OSABASA Womens No-Show Sock and Women No Show Sock).

SHEEC SockShion: You’ve heard me discuss this SHEEC SockShion product before in my “How to Wear Ballet Flats to Work”, “How to Wear Heels to Work” and Socks with all types of shoes and I bring this versatile product back with booties. Since these booties have a heel height of 3.5” I like to add something to support the ball of my foot.

You can’t even tell I have on the SHEEC SockShion in these photos but it’s underneath these no-show socks

Plus, I own these Vince Camuto Franell Notched Bootie in size 6. My usual shoe size is size 5.5. I probably could wear them in a 5.5 but since I share all of these booties with my sister who has a much wider foot we agreed on this size and it allows me to wear this sock and SockShion comfortably.

Now, don’t forget to protect your shoes. I have been using this versatile Protectant from Nordstrom’s for ~2 years now. It’s great for BOTH suede and leather so I used it on all styles of these Vince Camuto Franell Notched Bootie.
