Have any of you seen this bootie in real life? http://www.amazon.com/Anyi-Lu-.....7&

Believe it or not, I'm already tucking some dollars away for fall/winter. My wardrobe is complete for summer and I don't plan on purchasing anything further for this season (although I am looking at a black leather vest, which would be for late summer/fall). Fall/winter is by far my dominant season. I believe Angie linked to these peep toe booties this past winter and I loved them then - but they are not within my budget at $425. However, I found an eBay seller who has a brand new pair in my size for a heftily (is that a word?) discounted price, with full refund policy.

But there are two questions:

1. I've never tried Anyi Lu footwear before. The reviews are always fabulously positive in terms of comfort, but how do they tend to fit? TTS? Wearable on a normal width-bordering wider foot? I've done more sleuthing and although the heels are 2.5 inches (a wee bit over comfort level for me), they have a small platform inside so the true the heel is 2.25.

2. Is it silly to purchase something now not intending to wear it just yet? I could start wearing these in September when the heat of summer breaks and then with black tights in the colder months.

Just pondering and would love your thoughts...
