I find the brand to run slightly snug, so I'm crossing my fingers the 7s work for you. The taupe is really nice.</p> <p>And yes, those jeans are fantastic and you have great legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aquatalias-quandry#post-1538140 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 23:25:41 +0000 Anonymous 1538140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer the first ones because they look&nbsp;like they fit better. I already called them about exchanging a NAS purchase for the same item in a different size and they said they absolutely would. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aquatalias-quandry#post-1538129 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 22:56:20 +0000 CocoLion 1538129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Susie the boot is not suede, it is weatherproof leather. &nbsp;It seems like such a quality product, and I like the weatherproof aspect as I don't have to be as precious here in the country (gravel, dust, mud, stickers, generally uneven ground but not much rain!). &nbsp;2016 is supposed to be an El Nino year so we have a 3 in 5 chance of having decent rain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aquatalias-quandry#post-1538109 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 22:17:37 +0000 Style Fan 1538109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the info about the jeans.&nbsp; I will look into them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aquatalias-quandry#post-1538083 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 21:28:25 +0000 Susie 1538083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you made the right call to try the 7 because that looks like a great boot. I really like that shade of taupe. Is it suede? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aquatalias-quandry#post-1538073 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 21:03:19 +0000 CocoLion 1538073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to all of you for responding to my thread! &nbsp;Angie/Carter/Banoffi/Robin/JAileen per your advice I called Nordstrom. I talked to Mary, who gladly exchanged the booties for a size 7. &nbsp;I didn't even need to give her credit card info. &nbsp;I hope they work. &nbsp;Sometimes a half size up is perfect, sometimes it just doesn't fit anymore, we'll see.</p> <p>Jeanie -- it looks like we have the same type of feet. &nbsp;I will continue to try wide widths but as of yet have not found a size W shoe that works. &nbsp;European shoes usually fit me best, as they are cut a bit wider but without a wide heel.</p> <p>Style Fan -- the jeans are from Rag &amp; Bone. &nbsp;The wash is Sheffield. &nbsp;I normally wear a 27 in Rag &amp; Bone skinnies, but sized down to a 26 in these. &nbsp;In the photos I just put them on after washing, they do slouch/stretch more from wearing but in a most delightful way. &nbsp;Some jeans stretch in annoying ways (baggy butt, always having to pull them up etc). &nbsp;But these don't. &nbsp;This wash is from a few years back and I think it's been a best seller for them. &nbsp;I am surprised you can still get it at Revolve. &nbsp;If they had it in a 25 I would buy it (to achieve a true skinny fit).</p> <p>Suz -- thanks for the compliment on my middle aged legs. &nbsp;And I'm glad I'm not crazy in seeing how the flash emphasizes the legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aquatalias-quandry#post-1537655 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 10:48:33 +0000 Style Fan 1537655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them on you.&nbsp; They look great with your jeans.&nbsp; The colour is lovely.&nbsp; I also love your jeans.&nbsp; What brand are they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aquatalias-quandry#post-1537578 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 04:51:30 +0000 Jeanie 1537578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the Franco Sartos but I'm kinda on the bench about them because they are a little low. &nbsp;Now that I see the&nbsp;Aquatalias I like the higher height of those. &nbsp;I've tried ordering wide sizes before and find, like you said, the heel is also very wide. &nbsp;It doesn't work if you have wide toes and narrow heels. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aquatalias-quandry#post-1537535 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 02:46:11 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1537535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Aquatalias look great, very sleek on you. I think it's worth ordering the 7 to try and compare. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aquatalias-quandry#post-1537491 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 01:50:13 +0000 Suz 1537491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, absolutely they will give you those Aquatalias in the larger size at sale price! It's not a problem to make exchanges if they have the size.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really like the taupe on you -- what do you think of it?&nbsp;</p> <p>And, in answer to your question on my thread -- I <b>TOTALLY</b> saw what you meant -- that is so fascinating about the effects of the flash. I will have to do an experiment without the flash if I can.&nbsp;</p> <p>And, also, if I may say so, your legs may be "middle aged" but they are also super fab. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aquatalias-quandry#post-1537413 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 22:48:45 +0000 Angie 1537413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My other suggestion would be to investigate booties with higher shafts - but it's not an either or. You LIVE in black booties on the farm so this Farm Fashionista is allowed to have multiple pairs of boots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aquatalias-quandry#post-1537405 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 22:33:26 +0000 JAileen 1537405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them especially the color. Are they waterproof? Definitely get the NAS price in the right size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aquatalias-quandry#post-1537399 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 22:29:41 +0000 Robin 1537399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They honoured the NAS price when I exchanged a couple of items in-store last week.</p> <p>Actually, the SA I was working with entered the items as returns, then had me purchase the new sizes - still at NAS pricing. Not sure how she did that. :)</p> <p>Your reply </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aquatalias-quandry#post-1537394 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 22:23:22 +0000 Angie 1537394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also vote a larger size in the Aquatalias. I'm sure they will honour the NAS price.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aquatalias-quandry#post-1537362 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 21:51:56 +0000 Lisa 1537362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would try the larger size in the Aquatalias. I love mine.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aquatalias-quandry#post-1537354 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 21:25:34 +0000 carter 1537354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Aquatalias. I'd definitely try a 7. I'm sure you'll get the NAS price for an exchange. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aquatalias-quandry#post-1537348 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 21:17:58 +0000 Banoffi 1537348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would call Nordstrom and ask for an exchange in a size 7.&nbsp;&nbsp; You will get the NAS price.&nbsp; You will be charged when then send you the new (size 7) booties, so you can wait until you receive them to see whether the 6.5 or 7 fits you better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aquatalias-quandry#post-1537346 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 21:13:48 +0000 CocoLion 1537346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So they arrived a while ago and I cannot decide. &nbsp;I ordered two pairs of taupe color family booties from NAS. &nbsp;The Aquatalias and the Franco Sartos.</p> <p>Aquatalias are shown in pictures 1-4. &nbsp;They are comfortable and well-made! &nbsp;They fit fine without any socks on, mid-day. &nbsp;In the early a.m. my feet are bigger/swollen and the right shoe felt a touch snug. &nbsp;If I routinely wore these sockless, this size 6.5 would be fine. &nbsp;Then I tried them with a not-very-thick sock and they definitely felt snug. &nbsp;Nordstrom has them back in stock in a size 7. &nbsp;But, the NAS price is gone. &nbsp;Worth contacting them for an exchange (and is it even possible to price match the NAS price)? &nbsp;Or, as Angie points out in this morning's post, maybe there IS life after booties... perhaps I should investigate other styles?</p> <p>Pictures 5-8. &nbsp;Franco Sartos. &nbsp;Ordered them in a size 6 Wide. &nbsp;The forefoot feels good but the heel is huge. &nbsp;This is the second time I have ordered Wide sizes and the overall shoe felt too big. &nbsp;As if, wide means a wide heel and ankle too. &nbsp;I returned them but am leaving these pictures and review anyway, perhaps it's of help to others.</p> <p>Thoughts/opinions? </p>
