I got the boots but they are too big for my calves so they are going back! I so hope they work for you MaryK!</p> <p>Does anyone know of any good cognac boots for skinny calves? Mine are 13.25 inches in circumference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away/page/2#post-457020 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:32:01 +0000 MsMary 457020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WTG, Natalie!!</p> <p>I was really tempted by the Frye Mimi's, but they are super similar to the Rory's, of which I have THREE pair, plus I wasn't crazy about the ribbed detail on the top. And I just can't get behind a flat riding boot. But those are gorgeous and I want somebody else to buy them!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-457011 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:13:07 +0000 goldenpig 457011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK, you are the bomb! I've been wanting cognac boots too (especially since I have a caramel leather jacket on the way)...love the two you posted. You are my style idol and I am shamelessly copying you (hope you don't mind!) and am ordering those to try out myself! Along with a pair of leopard booties and leopard clogs to compare. I already have some leopard pumps but wanted something more comfortable for MOTG--you can never have too many leopard shoes, right? ;-)</p> <p>Hope you like the boots and can't wait to see what you pick! Here's a couple other styles of cognac boots that looked interesting, in case those two don't work out for you--Frye Mimi (scrunchy top) and Halogen Kate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456979 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 14:23:29 +0000 MsMary 456979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, it's done! I ordered both pair (with the laces and without in cognac) and will decide which to keep when they get here! Watch for a Keep or Return coming to a forum near you... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456961 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 14:07:57 +0000 Lisa 456961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my cognac boots.

I love this color and think it is so much more versatile than brown. Both pairs look great MK, but I do like the second pair you posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456831 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 04:02:37 +0000 Amy 456831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I doubt that cognac will ever go out of style.

I can relate to what Kellygirl says when she said they "brighten" up an outfit and Carole says she can't live without them. Now, I'm sold! Makes sense. Go for it, MaryK. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456718 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 01:25:16 +0000 citygirldc 456718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would totally buy them since I've been looking forever for cognac shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456640 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 23:34:50 +0000 Carole 456640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I couldn't get dressed most days without my cognac boots. You will wonder how you ever lived without them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456634 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 23:31:18 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 456634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that first pair. They are beautiful and sleek and I think they would work with your wardrobe. Buy please. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456631 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 23:28:26 +0000 missvee 456631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think cognac is a colour that will always be in style because it's a classic neutral. I like the first boot in your first posting best because it is the simplest style, and won't date in a hurry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456556 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 21:31:46 +0000 Vildy 456556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cognac seems like a no-brainer always in style item to me, too. </p> <p>For those who can't style brown boots, I like them with light to medium<br /> gray and also with blues and with off white like a natural linen color,<br /> sometimes with a strong yellow added in. And how about brown and<br /> black and some shade of your white. And sometimes burgundies. </p> <p>My own brown boots are a more raisiny color but not mahogany. </p> <p>Sometimes the trouble with brown boots are that they are too rugged.<br /> It's like what they say about dressier handbags, not easy to find in a<br /> brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456544 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 21:17:30 +0000 Angie 456544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cognac boots are always in style. Pull the trigger. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456533 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:55:23 +0000 rae 456533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think cognac is a classic color that just happened to trend hard recently. Like others have said, my cognac items seem to bo with everything (belts, bag), and I'll eventually add cognac boots after my wardrobe holes are filled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456513 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:23:41 +0000 Jjsloane 456513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I already have brown so I am also on hunt for perfect cognac. I want them to be very simple and work with dresses and pants (not alot of hardware or bunchiness). I want less of a heel than your first pair and love everything except the ties on the 3rd pair. Of course now that I know that they are nearly impossible to find the right combination (and price). I also think cognac would be my bookend color as my hair is sort of cognac. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456508 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:17:38 +0000 Sylvie 456508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my cognac boots. They're a neutral, but they also brighten up an outfit and I love bright.</p> <p>Dark brown is less versatile imho. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456494 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:09:15 +0000 Scarlet 456494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I believe cognac is forever &lt;3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456492 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:06:46 +0000 san 456492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the cognac color and love it when worn with so many different colors. To me it's so pretty and rich which never goes out of style.<br /> I like that 3rd pair of boots you pictured for one thing they are so different than anything I've seen you wear and I think they would add a nice bit of edge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456486 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:59:31 +0000 kellygirl 456486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Obviously not Angie, but I do find that my cognac boots do seem to "brighten" up an outfit. My brown boots definitely tend to blend in more. That aside, the two boots have very different vibes. The Ugg looks very casual and the cognac looks more refined. I LOVE the Uggs but wonder how versatile they would really be. The first pair you posted look a bit like the Rory Scrunch, don't they?</p> <p>ETA: I think you should order them all and post a Keep or Return : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456450 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:24:28 +0000 catgirl 456450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my cognac boots. I don't get to wear them as often as I'd like because they are a bit casual, but I think they're more versatile than brown for my color palette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456448 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:24:16 +0000 Diana 456448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think cognac boots will always be stylish, although I do think that they are (sadly) getting harder to find. To be honest, I don't like chocolate brown at all but I LOVE cognac and it goes with everything so I was thrilled when every boot came in cognac last year. </p> <p>Love the first pair you posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456446 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:23:07 +0000 bj1111 456446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the second cognac boot is a contender as well, but for versatility i would go with the first one. it seems to bee easier to dress up and down because the heel has a neutral vibe, while the heel of the second seems very casual, amlmost western inspired.</p> <p>full disclosure...i bat for team minimal and team versatile, especially if yu will get only one cognac boot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456443 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:18:41 +0000 Janet 456443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been keeping an eye out for cognac boots I love, but I'm finding way more black and dark brown these days. I have a hard time believing they'd go out of style -- they're neutral, right? I like the warm tone of the color. Sometimes my chocolate brown boots just aren't quite right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456441 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:15:42 +0000 MsMary 456441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or... what do you think of this one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-are-cognac-boots-fading-away#post-456439 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:12:13 +0000 nancylee 456439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm anxiously awaiting more answers on this, MK, since I'm in the market for cognac boots, too. (thx for the reassurance, modgrl) </p>
