Best Sandal Boots For Spring 2013

What do you get when you mix two of the biggest seasonal footwear staples? Answer: the sandal boot. It's a style that we saw a lot on Spring's runways, from Oscar de la Renta's laser-cut leather booties to the knee-high gladiator styles at Altuzarra and Proenza Schouler — and we have to admit that as risky as they are, we're loving this new shoe hybrid. Fusing the style and ease of a classic sandal with the height of a boot, the sexy silhouette is not for the faint of heart; it's the ultimate statement shoe and will undoubtedly garner tons of attention (not to mention a few double-takes).
