CC rewards came up from a card I forgot about, plus Shoebuy had a 20% off sale, plus they gave an extra 10% for registering on their site... so if these work, I'll have paid $43.00... nice! I only wish they'd had both sizes, since I'm a half size and these only come in whole. Oh well, free return shipping, and if I have to return maybe by that time someone else will have a deal on 'em. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-lust-again-but-why-cant-anyone-measure-a-heel#post-372373 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 02:34:52 +0000 rae 372373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, maybe the platform is what's causing all the discrepancy. I only care about total elevation off the floor, so that I know if my jeans will be too short for them. Maybe I can ask an Ebay seller to measure, and I will see if I can contact Endless as well. Thanks for the idea, BM! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-lust-again-but-why-cant-anyone-measure-a-heel#post-372338 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 01:55:09 +0000 Heather 372338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I love the black (I hoped you would say black!). I hope to be seeing a pic of you in them, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-lust-again-but-why-cant-anyone-measure-a-heel#post-372296 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 00:49:01 +0000 Sparky 372296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally OT, but Maya, that is a seriously awesome avatar of you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-lust-again-but-why-cant-anyone-measure-a-heel#post-372293 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 00:38:41 +0000 Maya 372293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The platform looks like about .5-.75 in, and the heel looks like 3-3.5 to me. So anywhere from 2.5-3 in. total. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-lust-again-but-why-cant-anyone-measure-a-heel#post-372291 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 00:35:42 +0000 san 372291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These boots would be so perfect on you. I hope they work out. I love the black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-lust-again-but-why-cant-anyone-measure-a-heel#post-372284 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 00:11:28 +0000 biscuitsmom 372284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would call Customer Service and have them check for you...Endless has pretty good CS, Ive found. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-lust-again-but-why-cant-anyone-measure-a-heel#post-372180 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 22:04:39 +0000 catgirl 372180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, these are hot. I find heel and calf measurements wildly all over the place, and often how the heel feels depends so much on the whole shoe. Try 'em and see - they are beyond fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-lust-again-but-why-cant-anyone-measure-a-heel#post-372143 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 21:34:56 +0000 Aida 372143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look like 3-3.5" to me :)</p> <p>EDIT: This guess includes the platform height, so from the ground to the top it looks like 3-3.5" to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-lust-again-but-why-cant-anyone-measure-a-heel#post-372104 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 20:50:19 +0000 rae 372104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the help, everyone. Unfortunately every site lists the measurement differently, and Zappos doesn't seem to carry them. D'oh! I guess ordering is the only way to go here, unless I can find them in a store somewhere. </p> <p>Heather, I was thinking of utilitarian black, since my current black combat boots are GI and not very comfy at all despite being broken in. The soles are very flat and very hard. &gt;:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-lust-again-but-why-cant-anyone-measure-a-heel#post-371961 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 16:54:57 +0000 Freckles 371961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute boots, they look like you'd get a ton of wear out of them. Don't shop online so can't help, good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-lust-again-but-why-cant-anyone-measure-a-heel#post-371956 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 16:45:40 +0000 Charmian 371956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you've done your due diligence to try to figure out the heel height, I wouldn't feel bad about ordering it from endless to try it on in-person; they have free shipping *and* build the shipping costs into their pricing model, so everybody wins.</p> <p>Of course, you'll have to be careful that you don't let yourself slip into the "well, it's here already ... might as well keep it!" mentality. For that reason, I would focus on ensuring these boots fill a genuine wardrobe hole before pulling the trigger on endless (or, really, any boot purchase).</p> <p>( incidentally, I find zappos's heel height measurements a bit more reliable than endless's. not sure why ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-lust-again-but-why-cant-anyone-measure-a-heel#post-371918 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 16:03:59 +0000 Heather 371918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I think you can totally rock these. It is a wedge heel. So much more comfy...try them out for sure. Free shipping both ways, right? Which color? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-lust-again-but-why-cant-anyone-measure-a-heel#post-371903 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 15:34:56 +0000 Carole 371903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>interesting...Cute boots, if you can handle the heel! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-lust-again-but-why-cant-anyone-measure-a-heel#post-371900 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 15:29:45 +0000 Sara L. 371900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've learned the hard way that heel heights can be very deceiving in pictures. You could try doing a search for the Doc Martin's on other sites and see if someone else gives a more specific description of the height. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-lust-again-but-why-cant-anyone-measure-a-heel#post-371870 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 14:42:47 +0000 Sparky 371870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look ~ 2.5 inch heel once you account for the platform. Maybe that's why you found such different measurements, b/c it depends on whether they reflect the platform. Also, I think heel measurements differ based on shoe size.</p> <p>cute boots!</p> <p>ETA: I looked at some other pictures of the boots on another site, and I think they are more a 3" heel after accounting for the platform. But take my assessment with a grain of salt ~ I don't have a great eye for this kind of thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-lust-again-but-why-cant-anyone-measure-a-heel#post-371862 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 14:37:09 +0000 rae 371862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm kind of in love with these Dr. Martens. I wanted to start transitioning to a higher casual heel this Fall (recently tried 2.5 inchers with my jeans, and they were way more flattering!), so I'm drooling like crazy now... but the heel height is listed as everything from 2-4 inches! WTH? What height do they look like to you guys? Should I even bother with this?</p> <p><a href="http://www.endless.com/Dr-Martens-Womens-Marcie-Boot/dp/B004BA75SU" rel="nofollow">http://www.endless.com/Dr-Mart.....B004BA75SU</a> </p>
