But I only say this because you can only add one black bootie this season! PPP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002979 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 14:44:55 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1002979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I've decided there's just enough doubt about these boots to warrant returning them and continuing my search. If I'm going to spend that amount of money they need to be perfect. Thanks for the helpful feedback everyone...onward </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002856 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 07:17:55 +0000 jayne 1002856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the wide look of the boot, but that is a deliberate choice for me cuz it makes my legs look more slender.&nbsp; So I am a YES, keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002800 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 04:32:13 +0000 ironkurtin 1002800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to spanner. They are gorgeous, but I'm not sure they work against bare legs with skirts because of the slight gap at the ankle. Would you wear them as in the pic? I think you need darker legs for a smooth line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002711 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 01:39:09 +0000 nancylee 1002711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowza! &nbsp;These are off-the-charts gorgeous....and perfect for you! &nbsp;KEEP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002639 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 23:52:23 +0000 Susie 1002639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also think that these are a totally different look than the Doc's. I think they are gorgeous and if the heel will work for you, comfort wise I mean, because I think it will look great, then I definitely vote keep!</p> <p>I tried the Toms summer boot and liked it so I'm tempted by this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002629 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 23:40:25 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1002629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DV - it does feel weird for the zipper to be on the outside, doesn't it?</p> <p>Text style - the taupe booties are Toms.</p> <p>Suz - the comfort issue is a bit of a concern. The footbed is not quite as cushioned as I would like. </p> <p>Rae and Deborah - I love that you get to the tough stuff! I did start out looking for lower shaft sleeker booties. I tried on several today at The Bay and although many were comfy none of them excited me. Maybe I really need to think about whether I want to be more refined or not. I definitely see your point about the Marcie duplication.</p> <p>Jeanne - I can only buy one pair of black booties this year so they need to be the right pair although I totally agree with you in principle!</p> <p>Anna - thank you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002624 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 23:31:26 +0000 Parsley 1002624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, those are gorgeous! I think they're totally different from the Marcie's, and I think they'll work beautifully with your wardrobe.</p> <p>If they're honestly comfortable, I vote KEEP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002619 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 23:17:56 +0000 ManidipaM 1002619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beeyoooteeful! Both boots. Good question from Rse though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002616 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 23:14:14 +0000 Suz 1002616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my own mind, these are very different from the Marcies. The Marcies are far less refined and much more funky, plus the shaft is higher. They're a laceup wedge; that's different from an exposed zipper heel with snakeskin. To me, at least, LOL! Can you tell my bootie collection threatens to get out of control?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002611 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 23:10:26 +0000 Jjsloane 1002611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are amazing and if you buy 10 more pairs of black booties so what. These are super duper cool and gorgeous. I like the Tom's too. Off to put both in imaginary shopping carts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002606 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 23:04:24 +0000 Deborah 1002606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I would ask the same question as Rae. I think these booties are divine! But I think they would function much like your Marcie's, so I would view them as a bit of a duplication. I also thought you were looking for something a little different, I.e. lower shaft creating a slightly different look, particularly for skirts. I'm still a little stuck on the Nine West booties you showed us in an earlier thread (sorry token going back to them).</p> <p>Love the taupe booties! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002602 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 22:57:56 +0000 rae 1002602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess my question would be whether these are different enough in function&nbsp;from the Marcies. <i>Only</i> bringing it up because I thought you wanted a bootie (lower shaft)&nbsp;for some reason... though my memory is not the best. They are very pretty boots!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002598 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 22:44:17 +0000 deb 1002598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes! You <i>must</i> have these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002596 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 22:41:52 +0000 shedev 1002596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these are perfect for your style. I don't really think they need to be an exact match unless that really bothers you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002590 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 22:31:22 +0000 Sveta 1002590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they work with the skirts because of the heel. Also you will be wearing them with black hose, don't you? If your knee can manage the heel height and they are comfortable then go for them!<br />Toms look like fun too - and Gain is adorable. Isn't it funny how cats adore boxes and bags? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002588 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 22:28:53 +0000 Adelfa 1002588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous booties. </p> <p>And wait, I forgot to put the TOMS on my list of wardrobe holes.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002581 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 22:14:06 +0000 Diana 1002581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're beautiful!&nbsp; As long as they are comfy, I think they're a keeper.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002580 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 22:13:17 +0000 annagybe 1002580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely adore them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002576 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 21:55:45 +0000 Suz 1002576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gain is so funny! </p> <p>I LOVE the booties. They're like a sleeker, uptown version of the DVs that Una and I bought last year. (And those in turn were a Rag and Bone copy, I believe.). I worry a bit about the comfort but that is probably mere projection on my part because the footbed of those DVs is pretty hard. But if comfort is there, then keep! </p> <p>Love the taupe ones, too. But you knew I would say that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002573 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 21:49:46 +0000 AviaMariah 1002573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't gotten used to this higher shaft with dresses on myself. But,&nbsp;I think this is a preference and if you are happy with it then you should keep them. &nbsp;They are beautiful boots and obviously make you happy!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002569 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 21:46:15 +0000 lyn* 1002569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those booties need to be in my life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002568 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 21:45:30 +0000 texstyle 1002568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are beautiful and look like exactly what you said you wanted, so if they are truly comfortable and won't cause pain after a few hours of wearing, I say big KEEP!&nbsp; Love the taupe wedge booties too. May I ask what brand those are?&nbsp; </p> <p>Cute kitty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002567 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 21:41:23 +0000 Day Vies 1002567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the boots they remind me of mine that I picked up this past winter -- a keeper. Are you finding it odd to unzip your boots on the outside? I realized belatedly after I bought mine that I'm used to having the zipper on the inside (sometimes I would put my boot on the wrong foot :-p ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002555 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 21:27:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1002555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I realize I was pretty much selling you the MK boots via my raving about them. However please don't let that sway you. I only want the right items in my closet so if you don't think these are my style or look good on, please say so </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002543 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 21:03:26 +0000 DonnaF 1002543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are gorgeous booties!&nbsp; I really think that the heels are much closer to 3" than 2.5", however; the Toms seem more like 2.5" to me.&nbsp; (Can you tell I study heel heights a lot?)&nbsp; However, the bottom line is how they feel to YOUR feet, knees, and back.&nbsp; Your trim ankles are trim for quite a ways up, and I think the height of the shaft balances the height of the heel so I wouldn't worry.&nbsp; Besides, isn't a higher shaft better for your climate?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002540 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 21:00:29 +0000 Anonymous 1002540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002539 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 21:00:13 +0000 Vicki 1002539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've sold me on these and I vote to keep, because they are comfortable, have the right amount of non-bling and the pretty gold zipper and replacing doesn't always have to be exact (shaft height).</p> <p>They look lovely on you and the leather is beautiful. &nbsp;You're not going to hear me suggesting you take them back. &nbsp;Instead, I say, find room in your closet.</p> <p>Love your new wedge Tom's and is kitty comparing color with the new suede booties? &nbsp;What is it about cats and bags? &nbsp;Born shoppers, perhaps?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002538 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 20:58:40 +0000 unfrumped 1002538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The MK's are a gorgeous boot, but I'm no help because I prefer that style with pants. For skirts I like more of a sleek shootie look. <br />The taupe booties are fab--hard to find the color and a comfy wedge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-my-black-booties#post-1002534 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 20:51:23 +0000 ramya 1002534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a sugar eye for both the styles so I am a yes gal </p>
