They hold up remarkably well, considering you can wear them in all kinds of inclement weather.</p> <p>Here's hoping I won't need to beat up the boutique owner - fingers crossed they arrive and in good shape - I will post pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-boot-throw-down#post-545436 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 04:35:49 +0000 Anonymous 545436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, SO EXCITING! I can't believe your luck! I can't wait to see them on you. I hope they fit, feel amazing and that they are all you need them to be! Woot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-boot-throw-down#post-545427 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 04:11:14 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 545427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweet! </p> <p>PS Don't forget, Nordstrom's will price match AND there is free shipping.</p> <p>PPS Are you really only going to get 3 or 4 seasons out of your LC boots? Based on the general price of LC boots, I was kind of hoping/thinking they'd last longer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-boot-throw-down#post-545407 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 03:37:33 +0000 Transcona Shannon 545407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was about to say the Aquatalias and then I saw that you ordered them - fingers are crossed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-boot-throw-down#post-545345 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 02:11:59 +0000 Angie 545345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you will be happiest with the Aquas </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-boot-throw-down#post-545337 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 02:08:34 +0000 catgirl 545337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, Laura - you are sweet! I don't think I can possibly justify another pair of black boots at this point. But I am THRILLED that you found them; nothing worse than the stress of stalking, and I would have secondary stress on your behalf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-boot-throw-down#post-545263 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 00:50:59 +0000 bella 545263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just read your original post and I signed in to comment that maybe waiting for the Aquatalias would be worth it because they are so so fab in person! Like Jeanne, I saw them on Debora, they are gorgeous. I am so happy that you had your happy ending, yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-boot-throw-down#post-545255 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 00:37:40 +0000 Sunita 545255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you were able to get the Aquatalia's...can't wait to see pictures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-boot-throw-down#post-545110 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 19:55:14 +0000 Debora 545110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, that's great about the Aquatalia's, and you are actually getting them for $15 less than the NAS price! I actually have them in black and I love them! They are so comfortable and warm. I wore them every day this past weekend in NYC. I know Angie has them and I'm pretty sure that Scarlet bought them in brown. A great boot for walking!</p> <p>I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they fit you. The LC's look like a great option, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-boot-throw-down#post-545079 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 18:54:24 +0000 Laura 545079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, this is crazy, but I googled the Aquatalias and found them on sale at shirise.com for $345. But of course who's heard of shirise.com, so I was scared to order them. Upon further research, I found that Shirise is a shoe boutique in a town 5 miles from me. So they have been ordered. Fingers crossed they work! Thank you ladies for your opinions!</p> <p>Una, if shirise.com has your size, you can feel comfortable ordering them, because I will personally drive over there and beat them up if they don't send them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-boot-throw-down#post-545070 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 18:31:34 +0000 Laura 545070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Kelly, I think you are right about the Veronica Slouch boots. I really love the rugged vibe but the times they are a changin'. One other option was the Melissa Button, but I have a vague memory of trying on a pair a couple of years ago, and they came up too high on my leg. But that could still be a possibility.</p> <p>I've tried on the LC's and they fit really well, and the leather is pebbled so they have a cool vibe. The Aquatalias are heavenly, of course. I think I need to burn some incense and do a boot dance so the shopping gods see to it that those Aquatalias land in my grimy little paws. </p> <p>We'll see what Miss Angie says!</p> <p>p.s. to Una - I feel your pain about the Aquas!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-boot-throw-down#post-545067 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 18:27:16 +0000 catgirl 545067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd stalk the Aquatalias. They are the best of both boots - winterized like the La Cs, but a little tough-looking like the Fryes. The Fryes are not as winterproof. And the LCs are OTK which makes them a tad less versatile. Just sayin'! I wish I'd gotten the Aquatalias too - instead I now have 4 pairs of differently purposed black boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-boot-throw-down#post-545061 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 18:16:40 +0000 kellygirl 545061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two years ago, I would have said the Veronica Slouch hands down. You had a more casual vibe to your style--edgy and urban. You are still all of that but I sense that you are gravitating toward something more polished now too--especially since you are back to work, right? Because of that, I would say my choice would be the Aquatalia followed by the LC's. Just my 2 cents, of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-boot-throw-down#post-545036 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 17:43:00 +0000 cciele 545036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you could squeak more life out of your LCs, I'd hold out for the Aquatalias! Those are divine. I love the Frye boots (having a well-worn pair myself) but I think they are more casual than what you are looking for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-boot-throw-down#post-545031 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 17:36:13 +0000 Jjsloane 545031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them all (so no help here) Like Zap said, the Aquitalias are fab in person - saw them on Debora. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-boot-throw-down#post-545024 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 17:31:35 +0000 ManidipaM 545024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, if you think your old La Canadienne might survive a season, why not stalk the Frye instead then, being the more 'different' boot from your patent leather flat ones? </p> <p>But if you *can* afford to hold on, I guess the Aquatalias should be more than worth it --- they look killer and they sound very practical as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-boot-throw-down#post-545015 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 17:23:37 +0000 Anonymous 545015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tough call. I've been eyeing the Fryes myself so if I was going to buy one, I would buy those, but considering you are replacing, I would say the aquatalias are the most versatile. Deborah was sporting the brown version at the NYC gathering and those are divine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-boot-throw-down#post-545012 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 17:21:24 +0000 Jem 545012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that's a hard choice! I thought it was the first one when I looked at it, then I saw the second and the third and they are all three amazing! I'll be interested to see what Angie picks, because I like them all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-boot-throw-down#post-545010 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 17:18:30 +0000 Laura 545010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SOS YLF!! I have two pairs of black boots that are 3 years old and need to be put out to pasture. One is a Born riding boot, the other is a patent leather La Canadienne flat boot (well, that one *might* survive one more season since this winter has been a total non-event).</p> <p>Please help me decide between two very different pairs of black boots. I can only buy one!</p> <p>1. La Canadienne OTK boots. </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/la-canadienne-secret-over-the-knee-boot/3115666?origin=keywordsearch&#038;resultback=1492" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/la.....tback=1492</a></p> <p>2. Frye Veronica Slouch:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/frye-veronica-slouch-boot/2900583?origin=keywordsearch&#038;resultback=150" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/fr.....ltback=150</a></p> <p>The third option would be to stalk the Aquatalia black riding boots that Angie recommended during NAS. I don't know if the shopping gods will be with me, but I can try to score them when they (maybe, eventually) go on sale. I could KICK myself for not buying these in July.</p> <p>3. <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/aquatalia-by-marvin-k-undy-weatherproof-woven-shaft-boot/3170646?origin=PredictiveSearch&#038;resultback=1763" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/aq.....tback=1763</a> </p>
