Although, with my calves, I've never had a flowerpot problem!</p> <p>Lisaflex:&nbsp; I thought the same!&nbsp; Isn't it fascinating that the color can make such a difference?</p> <p>Deborah:&nbsp; It's funny how hard it was to simply buy brown!&nbsp; I've spent decades in black! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angies-team#post-1571264 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 00:54:17 +0000 Deborah 1571264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think for wearing as you suggest, they will be perfect. &nbsp;I definitely see retro here and not western. &nbsp;I would never have thought 'western' looking at these, the heel definitely isn't western &nbsp;Nice choice and great colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angies-team#post-1571258 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 00:20:10 +0000 lisaflex 1571258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>like the brown alot!!!! the black is meh</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angies-team#post-1571205 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 22:24:04 +0000 unfrumped 1571205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find the shootie style <u>very</u> versatile, and often fits better around top of foot/low ankle when flower-pot is a problem with short ankle boots so can transition to tights and skirts (in the right colors, of course and especially basic black) .&nbsp; I like them because I have some slight bootcut and trouser-style&nbsp;pants that I want to wear even in mild "non-boot" weather, as they're in all-season fabrics, and I want the longer legline of being&nbsp; &nbsp;hemmed for the 1.5-2" heel I can handle in bootie or shootie but not&nbsp; pumps or pointy things.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angies-team#post-1571199 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 22:11:53 +0000 Beth Ann 1571199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!&nbsp; They're on their way to me.&nbsp; BTW --- I ordered from dsw.com, because the promotion was listed as online.&nbsp; However, I found out that my store's manager will match those online discounts in store.&nbsp; I would rather have ordered from the store (I was there returning the black anyway) and given them the sale.&nbsp; I wonder if Gap and BR would do that, too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angies-team#post-1571193 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 21:49:08 +0000 catgirl 1571193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I like them - they remind me of my beloved Dansko Ryders which I wore to death. </p> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dansko-Ryder-Womens-Clog/dp/B00336FX3W" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Dansko-R.....B00336FX3W</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angies-team#post-1571191 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 21:44:01 +0000 rachylou 1571191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed, not western. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angies-team#post-1571190 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 21:37:49 +0000 Karie 1571190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope they're not out of style because I like this style. I don't see western, but I do see retro. They would look great with flares and straight legs, and dresses or skirts too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angies-team#post-1571114 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 18:00:59 +0000 Suz 1571114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not western. Retro, and great with flares or bootcuts and maybe with dresses. I think the brown will be rich and will bookend your hair beautifully.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angies-team#post-1571109 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 17:38:48 +0000 Beth Ann 1571109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I'm glad you managed that in one sentence at least!&nbsp; I'm relleved to hear you're seeing what I'm seeing.&nbsp; Finding a tapered toe with a heel that actually feels good is fairly rare.&nbsp; I realize that I spent too many years in shoes that were just a little uncomfortable.&nbsp; Life it too short, and my feet deserve better.&nbsp; From now on, I'm being pickier with everything but the glamorous party shoes, and even those will be 3 inches or less! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angies-team#post-1571055 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:30:02 +0000 Alassë 1571055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely not western. I'd vote go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angies-team#post-1571049 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:25:34 +0000 Susie 1571049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand your hesitation with a western vibe because I totally agree...but these don't read western to be at all. I'm glad you went for the brown; I agree that brown makes it a more interesting style. And it will be great with jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angies-team#post-1571045 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:11:21 +0000 Word Lily 1571045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not a hint of western; definitely retro. Very cute with bootcuts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angies-team#post-1571040 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 14:54:45 +0000 Meredith 1571040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't see western at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angies-team#post-1571035 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 14:46:42 +0000 Carole 1571035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, peeping from under bootcuts and flares, perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angies-team#post-1571030 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 14:39:58 +0000 Sara L. 1571030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see western.&nbsp; I have somewhat of a poison eye for western (living in the southwest, western is a lifestyle not fashion), and these don't skew western at all to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angies-team#post-1571019 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 14:22:52 +0000 Angie 1571019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these with bootcuts and flares, Beth Ann. I see Retro and not Western.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angies-team#post-1571015 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 14:13:50 +0000 Beth Ann 1571015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I was going to make this an "Ask Angie" post.&nbsp; We all know her great eye for proportions.&nbsp; However, I know she's nursing a sore paw, and I really want to be like the mouse in the Mouse and the Lion story, and encourage her healing.&nbsp;&nbsp; So....</p> <p>I tried these booties (see find) on in black in the store.&nbsp; They are incredibly comfortable --- well balanced, with a nice heel, cushioning, support, and a fashionable narrow toe with a deep toe box.&nbsp; And leather for under $100, Woohoo!</p> <p>Still, in the black, they were a bit "meh."&nbsp; I ordered them in brown, because the richer color seems to suit the styling.&nbsp; I'm a little unsure, because I'm not seeing many "shooties" out there.&nbsp; I would have preferred a refined taller shaft bootie, but have not found any that are comfortable in my budget.&nbsp; These will be my go to booties for my bootcut jeans. I will also pair these with my new burgundy straight legs, and I think the brown will be rich with several of my purple toppers.</p> <p><b>Does the shootie styling look like I dragged my shoes out of a 90's closet?</b></p> <b><br /> </b> <p><b>Does your eye see "western" first, or more a "retro" look?&nbsp;</b> I don't have a western bone in my style body.&nbsp; I look like the Queen Mum when I try to wear flannel!<b></b></p> <b><br /> </b> <p><b></b> </p>
