What a splendid retail story, AND a handsome boot. Can't wait to see them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-shopping-brick-and-mortor-style#post-115487 Fri, 08 Jan 2010 03:24:07 +0000 Maya 115487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, they are not boring, just classic. I have a pair of plain no-frills black riding boots and I don't have a classic style at all. They are just a great timeless piece, like a white buttondown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-shopping-brick-and-mortor-style#post-115485 Fri, 08 Jan 2010 03:21:40 +0000 Dashrashi 115485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed. Very classic.

Keep us posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-shopping-brick-and-mortor-style#post-115449 Fri, 08 Jan 2010 02:15:29 +0000 Michelle 115449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Imagine my surprise when I began doing further research on the Trudy boots from yesterday's post and discovered that they *might* be carried at a brick and mortor store here in Toronto. Picture my further shock to discover that they were, in fact, in stock, along with several other wide-calf boots and wide-width shoes! It seems this little-known mom and pop shop specializes in difficult sizes, has done so for 25 years, and managed to stay off the city's collective radar for most of that time!</p> <p>So I gleefully sally forth to check out this hidden gem, where I discover that the Trudy boots *don't* actually fit. The store owner was the original Captain Obnoxious, but was certainly knowledgeable and eager to please. He produced a few options, some of which gaped horribly at the top of the calf, but finally managed to produce a pair that I think will work, pending YLF approval. It's another Blondo style:<br /> <a href="http://www.endless.com/Blondo-Womens-Dublin-Boot/dp/B001CJGO2Q" rel="nofollow">http://www.endless.com/Blondo-.....B001CJGO2Q</a></p> <p>The pair he had in stock had ankles that were far too baggy, so I am waiting for a pair with a more tapered lower leg. If all goes to plan and you guys give me the green light, I may be in possession of tall boots by the end of the weekend, all without paying a single inflated shipping charge. If you rule against these boots, I will listen and look elsewhere. </p> <p>Thanks again, you wonderfully patient people! </p>
