If you haven't heard of "shooties" yet, let us fill you in. A shootie is a cross between a high heel and an ankle boot -- or a full-coverage high heel if you want to think about it that way. And they go with everything. Pair shooties with a blazer and jeans like one of our favorite fashion bloggers did for a super polished casual Friday look. Or, wear a pair of completely badass metallic-accented shooties like the pairs we saw at multiple Fashion Week shows to give a little black dress some major attitude. Need more convincing that your closet is missing out in a big way? Here, eight very compelling reasons you'll want to hightail it to the mall ASAP.

California style blogger Hannah Hagler's blog, Champagne Lifestyle on a Beer Budget, is one of our go-to sources for fashionable work attire. It's no surprise she can pull off a polished and professional look with these laser perforated Sole Society shooties and a blazer.

Rag & Bone's spring/summer 2014 Fashion Week show gave us way more to lust after than just the perfect orange lipstick and slicked-back hairstyles (but how great are those?). We also started pinching our dream pennies for these back buckled leather shooties. That soft blue leather -- I die.

The floral lace-up shooties from Mary Katrantzou's spring/summer show at New York Fashion Week seem a little less than practical from the side. But you have to admit; from the front they're downright feminine. And that treaded bottom -- that means they are, dare I say it, comfortable.

Everyone's favorite outspoken supermodel Chrissy Teigen got in on the shootie trend with this suede pair won with a casual blazer and shorts combo. So basically, these are dressed up sandals you can get away with wearing to work.
