LOL</p> <p>Thanks for measuring the heels. I was wondering about that. They *said* 2 inches but they sure didn't look like it to my eye. I was wondering if they were measuring where the heel met the boot at the front of the boot, not the back, but still. Glad to see I was right about that. (Too bad though, cause they'd be in my house today if they were really 2 inches.) I think you'll look great in these! </p> <p>My hunt continues.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-booty-i-am-in-shock#post-721849 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 11:53:35 +0000 Caro in Oz 721849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How exciting. Can't wait to see your new "boot" outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-booty-i-am-in-shock#post-721834 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 09:45:02 +0000 Deborah 721834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are great boots JR. Can't wait to see them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-booty-i-am-in-shock#post-721735 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 02:41:56 +0000 Sveta 721735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are very nice boots! I hope you will enjoy wearing them for a long time.<br /> I can understand you only too well. I had a single pair of tall boots before YLF and now I have 3 pairs of tall boots, one pair of lace up combat boots and 4 pairs of booties - and no guilt! In Canada no number of boots is too high! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-booty-i-am-in-shock#post-721729 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 02:32:42 +0000 Suz 721729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic choices!! And I'm so glad you bought yourself both. You deserve them. If there's anything a woman needs in Canada, it is comfortable, fashionable BOOTS! </p> <p>These are going to get a lot of wear. </p> <p>I think Blondo is often weather protected, too, right? Even better, if so. </p> <p>I commiserate with the boot and shoe fitting struggles. I do not have a wide calf but many boots don't fit because being short and short legged, the widest part of my calf is not in the place where it is designed to be and many boots are just plain too tall. More than once a SA rolled her eyes as I tried to struggle into a pair of boots like CInderella's nasty step-sister. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-booty-i-am-in-shock#post-721724 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 02:26:40 +0000 Thistle 721724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you found boots that fit, and ones that look so stylish.

I literally can not even remember my last pair of non-hiking boots.</p> <p>I'm sitting in the tall ones right now. They are kind of snug, across the arches and around the ankles, but leather will stretch. I'll loosen them up around the house on cooler days before taking them out into the wild.</p> <p>*struts joyfully* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-booty-i-am-in-shock#post-721640 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 00:36:34 +0000 BethL 721640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you had a great shopping day, JR. Love the boots. I have a pair of tall boots that are Blondos, and I love them. They have a fairly low heel and look like riding boots. They're so comfortable and very well made. Wear yours well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-booty-i-am-in-shock#post-721639 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 00:35:41 +0000 K.

I measured, and they are 3" heels. The website info is not correct. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-booty-i-am-in-shock#post-721617 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 00:12:00 +0000 Anonymous 721617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Enjoy your boot loot!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-booty-i-am-in-shock#post-721616 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 00:08:15 +0000 JR 721616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim, they are both Blondos, but both purchased at Naturalizer. I don't mind a bit of a heel, but I am curious to see if they will be acceptable walking boots. But I have my klutzy lace-ups for walking, so it wasn't a priority for me. I wanted, for the first time in years, to wear a pair of boots to look nice. So that was my priority. My own high arches are very sturdy and never give me any trouble except when it's time to buy high vamp shoes or boots of any description. The website says the heels are 5.1 cm, which is precisely 2". As for comfort, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, but they seemed okay in the store. I wouldn't have bought them otherwise. Comfort will be more important to me in the tall boots though. If I can run errands in the heeled ones, so much the better, but I might try to save them for "good".</p> <p>QP, buckles are my favourite form of shoe bling. ;o) Most of the others make me feel too girly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-booty-i-am-in-shock#post-721605 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 23:49:22 +0000 qpswan 721605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the buckle details.

(Blondo). I've been eyeing them and want to pull the trigger but I'm a little concerned about the heel height. I swore I'd only buy nothing more than 2 inch heels ever again. I've got high arches and weak ankles and that causes me to be a real clutz in heels.</p> <p>I do have 2 more pair of Blondos that I love (higher shaft ones). Are they all as comfy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-booty-i-am-in-shock#post-721591 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 23:36:44 +0000 rachylou 721591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Real good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-booty-i-am-in-shock#post-721589 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 23:35:39 +0000 Anonymous 721589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both pairs are simply adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-booty-i-am-in-shock#post-721588 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 23:35:01 +0000 Krista 721588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JR you are going to get a lot of wear out of these.

They were all lace-up, hiking style ankle boots, the last pair from the men's department. I have a wide foot, a high arch (and the styles were all so flat), AND really big calves. Any one of these is a challenge; the three together in a time when all footware looked like flattened cardboard tubes made boot shopping an absolute nightmare. I once spent an entire winter (in Canada) in leaky boots because I couldn't find another pair. We were in a really bad financial space at the time on top of it all, so having some made was absolutely unthinkable.</p> <p>Today I bought two pairs of boots. Can you believe it? A pair of just over the ankle boots with a bit of a heel, for when I want to feel like a lady (hooray for the changing silhouettes of boots that are more arch-friendly) and a pair of equestrian style tall boots to wear with jeans and skirts. They are wide shaft and still have no extra room in the leg, which tells you how big those calves really are. I had been planning on waiting till I had finished losing weight to hopefully buy some with a regular shaft, but I could see that it just isn't going to happen, ever. </p> <p>I had a coupon for 25% off on top of the 25% off the second item special going on. :o) Both are from Blondo; a company that has been around for decades and which I've bought before.</p> <p>I am over the moon.</p> <p>And I applied my birthday coupon to a purse on clearance that I had often eyed before. Ended up costing me $15... </p>
