I think you would pull it off beautifully. However, I had calf hair shoes and belts before and the hair ended up falling off in the spots that rubbed on pants, belt, loops, etc. They weren't cheap pieces either so I'd be very careful before I pay $$ to a pair of calf hair shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs/page/2#post-534190 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:24:13 +0000 MsMary 534190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just popping in to say that I LOVE calf hair!! And it seems like if it keeps the water off the cows, it should keep your feet nice and cozy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs/page/2#post-534185 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:18:50 +0000 Vicki 534185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, here's a b&amp;w print from Zappos, with the black sole that you like, but there are only a few sizes available. (I still like yours best and also have been thinking more about them, too!).</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/dr-martens-pascal-winter-white-black?zlfid=111&#038;recoName=zap_pdp_sub" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/dr-marte.....ap_pdp_sub</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-532288 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 20:53:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 532288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely DO wear mine with skirts and dresses at work!<br /> Will you still thank me when you become hooked on them??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-532285 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 20:50:58 +0000 Vicki 532285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Never mind. I just found it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-532242 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 20:24:30 +0000 Vicki 532242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Home now...and where is that website, btw? ^_^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-532230 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 20:14:51 +0000 Jonesy 532230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Scarlet and Vicki! I really like the lighter ones too, but I worry about the white getting dingy faster, plus I like the black sole on the black ones.</p> <p>I think I am verrry close to pulling the trigger on these. I have Shannon to thank, for directing me to the website late last night :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-532159 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 19:14:48 +0000 Vicki 532159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Posting late here again (as passenger) in the car, Jonesy, and I love them and think your ideas to wear them with brights will create an uber-cool look on you. I don't eat beef, but I still wear leather. I especially like the second photo you posted, but I liked them even before seeing them. Due to my tastes, I'd probably get the white with black, and I can see why you'd be drawn to the former. Looking forward to seeing them on your feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-532131 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:56:36 +0000 Scarlet 532131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have complete faith in you to rock these hard. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-532115 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:49:44 +0000 Jonesy 532115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kellygirl! I am a bit pattern-crazy right now, but they read like a neutral to me too :).</p> <p>Thanks Mellllls. I know what you mean about something just not quite being your cup of tea. The longer ones are very sleek and gorgeous, I agree. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-532113 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:47:30 +0000 Mellllls 532113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think they're just not my thing...i prefer the higher ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-532109 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:46:05 +0000 kellygirl 532109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, I LOVE them. I think the Madewell ad shows their versatility. They *almost* look like a neutral. The calf hair doesn't bother me--I think the texture is kind of fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-532099 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:42:50 +0000 Jonesy 532099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your input, Elly! Too funny and bizarre about your wallet. Maybe you're right: they did not want to mess with you :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-532088 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:39:15 +0000 Elly 532088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you could rock them-- leather is naturally furry-- but then again, I am a card carrying member of the "animal killers" club. </p> <p>FYI-- I recently had my wallet stolen, only to have it mailed back to me (sans cash, but with everything else including cards intact). I personally think they saw my hunter's safety card and gun permit and decided not to make me too angry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-532080 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:36:21 +0000 Jonesy 532080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Anna and Melllls! I found this pic from a recent Madewell ad look, featuring the same Docs but with reverse coloring (off-white with black spots, same calf hair). I really like them paired with brights like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-532072 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:32:29 +0000 annagybe 532072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-532070 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:31:44 +0000 Mellllls 532070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>while i do like docs, i'm not sold on these from the picture. but if i saw them in an outfit i might feel differently! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-532058 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:27:07 +0000 Jonesy 532058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz! I see I'm not the only one with slight issues with the classic Doc soles :). It's funny, I totally don't even notice them on Angie and others, but for me it was always an issue...strange. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-532054 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:24:46 +0000 Suz 532054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them, and I think you could wear yours with skirts and dresses for sure. </p> <p>I agree with you about the colour of the soles on most Docs. I used to wear Docs and that was the one thing that bugged me about many of the styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-532048 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:21:11 +0000 Jonesy 532048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Angie, that's what I was thinking about the material...seems like it would be pretty durable since cows do spend most of their lives outside in the elements :).</p> <p>Shannon, thanks for your input! You wear yours with skirts and dresses to work, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-532012 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:51:21 +0000 Transcona Shannon 532012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for the enabling Jonesy! Now that I've gotten my second pair of Docs and am already eyeing the summer oxford ones, I can vouch for the comfort level. Yes, breaking in is required but for me, is so worth it. I can see myself following in Angie's footsteps and becoming a long-term fan of Docs!</p> <p>FWIW, I really like the ones you've posted - I think they're hip and edgy and can work in many different ways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-531986 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:04:31 +0000 Angie 531986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't eat mammals either. </p> <p>BTW, all leather looks "furry" to start off with. This is leather in it's natural state and used on the right side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-531970 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 16:53:47 +0000 Jonesy 531970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a mix of interesting thoughts on these! Angie, thanks for your input--I really appreciate it. I have heard about the break-in period, so I was expecting that. These are pretty $$ so I will have to think on them a bit more before I pull the trigger.</p> <p>You know, I hadn't even thought about the cow hair thing as an issue...I don't eat mammals (only birds and fish) but I do wear leather shoes and have leather bags, but I draw the line at leather and fur coats. I guess I was putting this material in the leather camp rather than the fur camp, if that makes any sense, but I see that it can be perceived as wrong or distasteful to some...Interesting to ponder.</p> <p>Hadn't thought about the leg hair analogy at all, but I do appreciate your take, Isabel :).</p> <p>I have never really loved the somewhat translucent brownish sole on most Docs, so I really liked that these had black solid soles, and I love the pattern (I would enjoy pattern mixing with these). I will have to think about these some more, and how I might wear them.</p> <p>Thanks everyone! I welcome more replies, if anyone wants to share her two cents :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-531875 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 16:01:00 +0000 Isabel 531875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, I just want to say that I hope I didn't offend you with my joke, now that I think about it. I like the polka dots, but the calf hair I think is a very particular taste. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-531851 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 15:43:04 +0000 Isabel 531851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfortunately, I agree with San...I just don't like calf hair. It reminds me of my legs when I don't shave for a while.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-531839 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 15:35:41 +0000 Meredith1953 531839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't make myself love these particular docs.....(ducking)!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-531835 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 15:32:46 +0000 Angie 531835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the world of Docs! I've been committed for 23 years and have never looked back. </p> <p> I think the neutral pattern is versatile. </p> <p>I have two ultra hip clients in their 40's who pull off this look with dresses and skirts as well as trousers and jeans. I have every confidence that you will too, Jonesy :)</p> <p>Warning: Docs need to be broken in before they feel like slippers. They will probably not feet comfy straight off the bat. (This *is* my famous fussy feet talking). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-531743 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 09:40:54 +0000 Deborah 531743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy I have been spending a bit of time on line perusing the Dr Martens range and I love these. I think you could make this work with a variety of looks (pants, skirts, dresses). I am interested to see what Angie says, but these look like they could work in your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-531712 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 06:47:41 +0000 san 531712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a great sense of style for sure, but I do not like calf hair at all. I'm a vegetarian and I'm sensitive to seeing calf hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-calf-hair-spotted-docs#post-531683 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 04:40:31 +0000 Sveta 531683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no experience with Docs but these are gorgeous, Jonesy. I am sure you you should be able to incorporate them into your style perfectly! </p>
