I wouldn't be concerned about the leg shortening effect of the lighter color; they are very cool. Please get the smaller size! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-cutout-combat-boots-could-this-look-work#post-1195992 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 23:37:16 +0000 Angie 1195992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer</p> <p>These boots are heavenly on you, Emily. Get the smaller size. NOW.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-cutout-combat-boots-could-this-look-work#post-1195984 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 23:22:02 +0000 Diana 1195984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them. I just bought cutout combat boots myself, in black, and am looking forward to wearing them. I love your inspiration look with the scrunchy socks!</p> <p>The color reminds me a bit of my taupe boots, which Angie and others here always love on me. Yes, with dark pants they can be a little leg shortening but for me the fact that they can bookend lighter tops ales up for that. Because I prefer darker bottoms and have dark hair, light tops don't work so well without some light footwear to bookend. And on bare legs the taupe can function as a quasi-nude. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-cutout-combat-boots-could-this-look-work#post-1195915 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 21:58:37 +0000 Emily 1195915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Suz &amp; Ceit - I'd say they are at least a half size and probably a full size too big.&nbsp; Both my other pairs of flat boots (from other brands)&nbsp;are a size smaller than my usual, so perhaps it is a quirk of mine that I require flat boots to fit super snugly... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-cutout-combat-boots-could-this-look-work#post-1195803 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 19:59:11 +0000 Anonymous 1195803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them too! Do they run large? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-cutout-combat-boots-could-this-look-work#post-1195743 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 18:40:00 +0000 Suz 1195743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - I actually love them, Emily!! I know I'm biased because they would bookend my hair, but I think they're super fun. If you have a need for a lighter weight boot and the price is right, why not give them a bash? They'd be great with lighter tops and toppers, as in your inspirations.&nbsp;</p> <p>Do you find them to run large then?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-cutout-combat-boots-could-this-look-work#post-1195713 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 18:18:33 +0000 Emily 1195713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Rabbit, I hear you re: the not bookending! &nbsp;I think with a skirt or dress they might work as a nude shoe, but with jeans I had accepted that they didn't extend the leg line.</p> <p>@mreseccentric: They are "Gatson" by Circus Sam Edelman:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zappos.com/circus-by-sam-edelman-gatson">http://www.zappos.com/circus-by-sam-edelman-gatson</a>&nbsp; available lots of places &nbsp;I'm not sure how well they go with my current/aspirational style either, to be honest! &nbsp;I had chosen "rogue" as one of my style adjectives and they definitely fit there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-cutout-combat-boots-could-this-look-work#post-1195697 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 17:49:05 +0000 mrseccentric 1195697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Link to shoes please!&nbsp; i'm drooling all over myself, so pry not the best 'objective' opinion, but i'd completely go for it myself.</p> <p>Bearing that in mind, i think they look super cute on you, i also like that you can fold them over for some variety. Don't know how much they go with your current/aspirational style, if they do then you've lucked out!&nbsp; Good luck! steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-cutout-combat-boots-could-this-look-work#post-1195696 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 17:47:02 +0000 rabbit 1195696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like how the cut-out is done on those. &nbsp;I think they look cute on you, especially with the rolled hems and the boot laced up. &nbsp;I've eyed several taupe/light booties myself and what has stopped me so far is that they don't bookend my dark hair, and unless I'm wearing tan/taupe pants or leggings, they don't extend the leg line like darker shoes do with dark jeans. &nbsp;</p> <p>I felt they were stumpifying on me compared to darker colored boots&nbsp;when I tried them on in stores, in a way that didn't happen with a light colored oxford or sneaker. &nbsp;I think one way around that might be to go as high-waisted/long legged as possible with them (as in the leggings/sweater look you pinned) or have a bit of heel (as the other two jeans pins seem to have). &nbsp;Or just wear tonally similar pants. &nbsp;Or just rock it, it's a little retro/indy and for the right pair of pale booties, I definitely will too :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-cutout-combat-boots-could-this-look-work#post-1195689 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 17:35:37 +0000 Emily 1195689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This pair of boots has to go back regardless because they are a full size too big all over (length and shaft circumfrence). &nbsp;Is it worth trying a smaller size? &nbsp;I think they are super cool in theory but am not convinced they are a good look for me IRL. &nbsp;#9-10 are inspirational outfit pins. </p> <p>ETA: I tried a size down, but the fit is just not quite right. &nbsp;The back of my heels slips when i walk but the instep is snug. &nbsp;Returning again :(&nbsp;</p>
