There were a few pair of boots I thought you should have - oh boy this is fun! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-wanna-help-me-find-boots#post-1313848 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 00:19:59 +0000 Jjsloane 1313848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon - we have similar foot issues so I might suggest Fidjis\<br />I LOVE my (Angie Twin) G482 so maybe you might like these:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Fidji-Womens-G465-Ankle-Black/dp/B007SNTR2Y/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1406247417&amp;sr=8-5&amp;keywords=fidji+ankle+boots"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fidji-Womens-G465-Ankle-Black/dp/B007SNTR2Y/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1406247417&#038;amp" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Fidji-Wo.....7&#038;amp</a>;</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Fidji-Womens-G531-Ankle-Slate/dp/B0083684Q0/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1406247626&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=fidji+ankle+boots">http://www.amazon.com/Fidji-Wo.....#038;qid=1</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Fidji-Womens-G585-Ankle-Black/dp/B008368QLS/ref=sr_1_3?s=apparel&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1406247653&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=fidji+ankle+boots">http://www.amazon.com/Fidji-Wo.....#038;qid=1</a><br />or similar?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-wanna-help-me-find-boots#post-1313831 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 00:03:09 +0000 rabbit 1313831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Sam Edelman python, where did you find it listed?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-wanna-help-me-find-boots#post-1313824 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 23:59:31 +0000 Ariadne 1313824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taking notes--I'm looking for the same thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-wanna-help-me-find-boots#post-1313679 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 21:05:54 +0000 Inge 1313679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're making me blush, Shannon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-wanna-help-me-find-boots#post-1313654 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 20:30:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1313654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are wise as well as beautiful Thanks again Inge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-wanna-help-me-find-boots#post-1313651 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 20:29:27 +0000 Inge 1313651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have, Shannon, but just with the clothes, not the footwear. They're indeed a Zara sister company but in my opinion MD clothing quality is indeed nicer (not super high-end, but a few levels above Zara). Their clothing runs small, and their trousers are usually too short on me, but I like their Modern Classic collections. Footwear is European sizing and the shoes I've seen in the stores always look beautiful. I've no idea about comfort level though, you never really know until you try a shoe on, right.</p> <p>Just shout if I can help with anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-wanna-help-me-find-boots#post-1313640 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 20:23:25 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1313640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you had any personal experience with Massimo Dutti, Inge?

I adore the juxtaposition of an edgy boot with a dress. And I forgot about Michael Kors - I can check out their store at Polo Park. Have I mentioned I love having another 'Pegger on the forum? :)</p> <p>Angie - preferred heel height is somewhere between 1-2 inches. I can manage 2.5 if it's a stable heel and a bit of a platform in the boot to cut down on the angle of the foot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-wanna-help-me-find-boots#post-1313407 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 15:27:41 +0000 Angie 1313407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, what is your preferred heel height?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-wanna-help-me-find-boots#post-1313395 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 15:18:21 +0000 Anonymous 1313395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, have you ever considered a motorcycle -style boot? &nbsp;Vince Camuto has a really funky one out now that they also ran last year. It's a little OOT with all the gold hardware, but the concept has worked so well for me in the past few years. I have a pair of plain black motos, pewter hardware, lower-mid calf height that surprisingly work with a ton of bottoms. I like a tough/rocknroll ish look on my feet as much as I love a refined boot, and this boot owes me nothing now. &nbsp;I also bought a work-boot style from Browns last year in a distressed brownish colour - refined work boot, that is. Wore it with jeans tucked in and with a skirt and cashmere sweater combo. &nbsp;I could see you in that look too. &nbsp;Michael Kors also has a nice moto style in stores right &nbsp;now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-wanna-help-me-find-boots#post-1313388 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 15:14:15 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1313388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Inge - Queen of the Internet!
