Sorry about the discomfort, though. It appears the shaft may be higher than on some booties -- this may be the reason that they're bugging you. But I expect they'll soften up with wear. If it's a friction thing, moleskin could help -- you could put it on your leg or on the boot inside. If it's a pressure thing due to the angle of your leg, you might just have to sit differently for a while.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-discomfort#post-1065739 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 05:08:11 +0000 Deborah 1065739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are nice boots.</p> <p>When seated at your desk, are you sitting 'correctly'.&nbsp; Can you move the footrest so that your feet are at a still comfortable but different angle? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-discomfort#post-1065734 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 04:58:58 +0000 Gigi 1065734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, if they are leather, I think they will loosen up. I recently bought a pair of ankle booties with a stiff top (leather and calfskin), and when I would drive a car, holy cow! The pain from the top digging into my leg was intense. But after wearing them a bit, they are very soft, and I don't notice any discomfort now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-discomfort#post-1065710 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 04:25:05 +0000 anne 1065710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh and yes, they are leather </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-discomfort#post-1065708 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 04:24:43 +0000 anne 1065708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for not replying earlier. A very busy weekend and a terrible headache got in the way.</p> <p>Thistle - they are no tight around the ankle</p> <p>Parkmommychic - no I can't return them.&nbsp; And they only cut in my my legs are at an angle. If they are 90 degrees to the ground they are fine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-discomfort#post-1063005 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 16:12:25 +0000 Anonymous 1063005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is returning an option? Life is too short for booties that are biting your leg all day! However, I love their tough/cool look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-discomfort#post-1062987 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 15:51:38 +0000 Thistle 1062987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, I have not had boots "dig" in. It did take me a bit of wearing to get used to them touching me.</p> <p>Are they tight at the ankle or very fitted? If not, I worry stretching them will make them too big at the ankle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-discomfort#post-1062980 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 15:49:15 +0000 anne 1062980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions everyone and encouragement that it'll improve.<br /> Emily how do I wear moleskin? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-discomfort#post-1062826 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 13:38:55 +0000 pastrygirl 1062826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My new booties do that, too, except I feel it when I walk. They've already gotten softer with wear and I don't notice it as much, but my shins do protest when I think about wearing them... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-discomfort#post-1062820 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 13:34:46 +0000 Emily 1062820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>aggh, no!! &nbsp;That would drive me batty. &nbsp;Are they leather? &nbsp;If so they might soften up a bit with wear. &nbsp;Could you wear a sturdy, tall sock underneath to prevent discomfort, or a bit of moleskin maybe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-discomfort#post-1062788 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 13:02:00 +0000 El Cee 1062788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just thinking... could you take them to a cobbler to have that specific area stretched just a wee bit? I have had to do that with some of my shorter boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-discomfort#post-1062716 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 11:26:09 +0000 Anonymous 1062716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They might loosen/soften with wear, otherwise you might just not be able to wear them with your foot at an angle like that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-discomfort#post-1062702 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 10:45:37 +0000 anne 1062702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Bianca I am wearing socks. I think the top of the boots is higher than them though.<br /> Pam congrats on your second post </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-discomfort#post-1062699 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 10:39:01 +0000 Anonymous 1062699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree- ballerinas for me- post #2 now in the bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-discomfort#post-1062695 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 10:32:49 +0000 Bianca 1062695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never have this problem so I won't be help.&nbsp; Does it only happen when you are sitting with your legs at an angle?&nbsp; Can't you adjust the position of your legs to relieve the pressure?&nbsp; Are you wearing socks?&nbsp; Socks could help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-discomfort#post-1062693 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 10:23:12 +0000 Lantana 1062693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, not if you're at the desk all day. Won't it drive you crazy? Can you slip them off without your OH&amp;S person getting twitchy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-discomfort#post-1062678 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 08:48:59 +0000 anne 1062678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very late to the bootie party here, but something snapped last week and I bought some as part of a "second pair free" ( eta actually second pair half price) sale when I bought some sandals ( some very dodgy girl math was going on there!)<br /> Any way I have mostly been please with them comfort wise - they can even fit my orthotics.</p> <p> The only disdvantage is that when I sit down, if my legs are at an angle - like on the leg rest under my desk, the top digs in the the front of my leg.</p> <p>Is this just something to get used to? </p>
