Frye ones are a bit out of size but I think I can fix that issue.<br />I would appreciate feedback on how each one looks. Questions follow the image description:</p> <p>- Left leg (I'm facing the viewer) - Clark's Mansi Juniper<br />- Right Leg - Frye Veronica<br />Photo #1: Both from front.<br />Photo #2: Sideways, showing Frye foot forward<br />Photo #3: Sideways, Clark foot forward<br />Photo #5: Front view, clark foot forward<br />Photo #6: Top View Clarks,&nbsp;showing how loose the boot is around calves<br />Photo #7: Top View Frye, showing how loose the boot is around calves<br />Questions:<br />1. Are these way too loose? I know that mid calf boots should be loose around the calves, but how loose?&nbsp;<br />2. If I wear them with skinny jeans, they look fitter, but I need some advice on whether boots this loose can be worn with dress or skirt.</p> <p>Thanks in advance! Really really hope to hear from you experts.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-bootshelp-me-pick#post-1392487 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 18:21:30 +0000 fabfash 1392487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kellygirl. My heart is being pulled towards Frye ones too :-).&nbsp;I will wait for Frye's and then may be post pics with me wearing either, so it is easier to get a feedback.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-bootshelp-me-pick#post-1391743 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 18:49:17 +0000 kellygirl 1391743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can't go wrong with the frye in my opinion. They are timeless. I like the Clarks but think the Veronica's are more versatile and look more refined (in a rugged kind of way.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-to-bootshelp-me-pick#post-1391713 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 18:16:40 +0000 fabfash 1391713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone,<br />I came here last year asking about Dansko Olgas. The community voted up, overwhelmingly, for the Suede ones, and by the time I figured out my size (they have European sizing), my size was sold out. So I decided to rest my search.<br />Wiser this time, I started early. Now, I have two great finds and I want to run my choices by the fashionistas here.<br />First, to recap my requirements: <br />- Function is important to me, high heels cannot work due to my foot issues. In fact I have removed Olga from my consideration because it comes with no cushion on the footbed.<br />- My body type is inverted triangle. Height 5'4".<br />- I have thin calves. My calves are ~10" round.&nbsp;<br />- I dress modestly, i.e. with leggings, I prefer to cover my back side. Skinny jeans and thick ponte leggings are my favorite, and I plan to wear my boots with those.<br />- I do not wear dresses/skirts a lot, although I am open to the possibility with leggings in winter of course.<br />- I am still in love with Slouch styles, and from the advice I researched on this site, for my body type, they serve to balance my heavy top nicely. (My style is casual, bohemian, modern).<br />- Budget: quite generous, but prefer function over just fancy names.</p> <p>Also, I really do not see myself buying another boot for a long long time. Whatever I buy now will stay with me till it falls apart. So it's important to have a pair that lasts long. So black is my choice, since it dresses up a lot of outfits.</p> <p>Now, over to my choices:<br />1. Frye Veronica Slouch : (Need I say more?) I plan to wear it slouchy, not straight up. I also saw some pics with celebrities *folding* the top, they all look really chic, but when I tried it in the store, I could not fold the top (could be because initially the leather is stiff?). Calf size: 14".</p> <p>This boot, however, does not seem to have a cushioned footbed. (I have ordered my size online and awaiting shipment).<br />2. Clarks' Mansi Juniper: <br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zappos.com/clarks-mansi-juniper-grey-leather?ef_id=zVNO6TM1Sj0AAIAl:20141106180602:s">http://www.zappos.com/clarks-m.....06180602:s</a><br />I just got this one delivered. So far, I'm in love, but the leather is not as soft/supple as the Veronica. I tried it on in the store, and the store person told me that it's expected to loosen up with use, but I am not sure how long it will take. Nice part is that it has cushioned footbed - that makes it comfortable walking with 2 inch heel. Calf size: 15". Also, can be expanded but not made narrower.</p> <p>Any thoughts? Any pointers to make decision making easier? One more thing: I do not want to keep both (tempting, but no).</p> <p>Thank you very much,<br />Madie.</p> <p> </p>
