Out of all the choices for black booties, I like those the best.&nbsp;I recently bought those SE booties in beige, not black, and I had the same thought about a slightly western vibe. I'm OK with that, but I'm not sure if I'm keeping or returning. I also bought a pair of white booties and I'm not sure I really need both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-ankle-boots-for-me#post-1137117 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 00:07:55 +0000 Mo 1137117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>update to say I just now pulled the trigger on the Grey City Walkers. &nbsp;I got a coupon code for 20% off at UO&nbsp;and that brought them down to $160. &nbsp;I'm returning the colorblock shorts ($66) and my H&amp;M&nbsp;leather pants may or may not work out ($85). &nbsp;If not, I'm back where I started, money wise, anyway.&nbsp;<br />Free shipping and (yay!) free returns. &nbsp;Stay tuned . . . &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-ankle-boots-for-me#post-1127957 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 19:50:49 +0000 Anonymous 1127957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are welcome Gryffin. FYI - light grey is now on sale at Nordstrom for $89.00. That's an awesome Spring color, in LEATHER, not suede. I also forgot to add that the top is wired, so you can actually sculpt how wide or narrow you want the flaps to be.<br /> <a href="http://m.nordstrom.com/s/3561420/" rel="nofollow">http://m.nordstrom.com/s/3561420/</a></p> <p>I get my JC shoes from this Strawberry store @ Grand Central. I am not sure why they get most styles heavily discounted.

Oh and I vote walker booties out of the current selection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-ankle-boots-for-me#post-1127783 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 16:49:45 +0000 Janet 1127783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Grey Walkers immediately jumped out at me. Just enough interest but not too much detailing. If I didn't already have a pretty solid black boot selection, I'd be tempted by those! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-ankle-boots-for-me#post-1127763 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 16:18:58 +0000 Aziraphale 1127763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them, and I don't think the colour blocked heel is a problem at all. Interesting to note that the 90s block heels are coming back -- not a bad thing, since I found them very comfortable and practical.</p> <p>I should also note that I had Sam Edelman shoes that fell apart after what I consider to be not enough time and use. I question the quality.&nbsp;So maybe&nbsp;it's good that those Sam Edelman boots didn't work out? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-ankle-boots-for-me#post-1127757 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 16:03:38 +0000 viva 1127757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the Grey Walker booties. Gorgeous, refined rock and roll. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-ankle-boots-for-me#post-1127754 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 15:55:48 +0000 Angie 1127754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I personally prefer&nbsp;the more&nbsp;refined edge of the Walkers. Edge, but not too much.&nbsp;For your style, I prefer it too. (I know I'm Bossy).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Zap, thanks for the review on those killer black cut out&nbsp;booties. I will tell my clients. xo</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-ankle-boots-for-me#post-1127753 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 15:55:34 +0000 Susie 1127753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I think the Walker booties look perfect for your needs; I really like them. The Jeffrey Campbell pair had caught my eye too earlier this season but I decided that they were just too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-ankle-boots-for-me#post-1127752 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 15:55:25 +0000 Diana 1127752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have these Seychelles in my amazon shopping cart.&nbsp; The cutout doesn't go all the way down on them, so I think they'd be easier to wear and be a lot more practical.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CPKIVNG/ref=s9_simh_gw_p309_d0_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_s=center-2&amp;pf_rd_r=1YEHYVPHDS753VJ72784&amp;pf_rd_t=101&amp;pf_rd_p=1688200382&amp;pf_rd_i=507846" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....8;pf_rd_s=</a></p> <p>Vince Camuto has lots of awesome styles too. </p> <p>Here's a pair with buckle but no cutout:<br /><a href="http://www.vincecamuto.com/product/romeo/romeo.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.vincecamuto.com/pro.....romeo.html</a></p> <p>And a gold-heeled patent Beatle boot (only in 8.5 though):<br /><a href="http://www.vincecamuto.com/product/himena/vc-signature-himena.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.vincecamuto.com/pro.....imena.html</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-ankle-boots-for-me#post-1127741 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 15:49:24 +0000 Mo 1127741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Zap, I like those too! &nbsp;Edgy with the slit but still classic enough. &nbsp;I realize the eye popping snakeskin ones are just OTT for me, much as I think they're cool.<br />Angie, I like the Walkers a lot&nbsp;too. &nbsp;I'm trying to decide just how much edge I want/need. &nbsp;<br />Thistle, it's 40 right now here! &nbsp;And just to clarify, while I am in FL right now, my home is in Tahoe and that is permanent, so I always have an eye toward the next season and beyond . . .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-ankle-boots-for-me#post-1127732 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 15:45:43 +0000 Thistle 1127732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the Walker booties as well. </p> <p>Do you think the booties will see a lot of use in Florida? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-ankle-boots-for-me#post-1127731 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 15:44:26 +0000 Anonymous 1127731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I have several pairs of black booties (shame), but these are by far my favorite:<br /> <a href="http://www.jildorshoes.com/product.cfm/hurl/oriley-ankle-boot-black-leather/PI=115426/?utm_source=googlebase&#038;utm_medium=cpc&#038;gclid=CLr0w4it4rsCFQ7xOgodNDEA7A" rel="nofollow">http://www.jildorshoes.com/pro.....OgodNDEA7A</a><br /> The fit is brilliant and you can do a half tuck with your skinnies. I tuck in the front of my skinny jeans only. I think that little detail minimizes the ice cream cone effect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-ankle-boots-for-me#post-1127725 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 15:42:30 +0000 Angie 1127725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer the Walker Bootie.
