I have these in the silver snake print and find them sliiiightly narrow in the toebox, but my feet are a tad wide there. They have an almond, almost pointy toe. <br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/ARA-Tala-ara-Womens-Boot/dp/B005ADREY2" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/ARA-Tala.....B005ADREY2</a><br />Shannon and Vix also have these and I think Vix wrote a detailed review. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-saga-feel-your-pain-mo-diana-question-for-cathy-others#post-1187632 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 14:58:13 +0000 Emily 1187632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, for the heeled bootie, have you tried Rockport? &nbsp;I have these and find them quite comfortable, and they are cut nice and&nbsp;low in the front:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.rockport.com/presia-zip-shootie/presiazipshootieoutlet.html?start=1&amp;q=rockport%20presia&amp;dwvar_presiazipshootieoutlet_color=presiazipshootieoutlet_blackamaze">http://www.rockport.com/presia.....sia&#038;d</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-saga-feel-your-pain-mo-diana-question-for-cathy-others#post-1187606 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 14:41:16 +0000 Diana 1187606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had my eye on these but i wanted something a little tougher looking. Still, though, the back of these is like a regular shoe so the back heel gap might not be as bad.</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/kg-kurt-geiger-saint-bootie/3659546?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&#038;contextualcategoryid=60139933&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=0&#038;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_B" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/kg.....ts-_-1_1_B</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-saga-feel-your-pain-mo-diana-question-for-cathy-others#post-1187602 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 14:39:01 +0000 April 1187602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree, Mo -- less heel (I consider up to two inches to be more or less "flat" as long as the sole has some depth to it) and less Bitcoin. &nbsp;:)</p> <p>I have also wondered about a shoe that chooses to expose only one thing and it's -- the heel. &nbsp;</p> <p>The heel? &nbsp;The part of your foot most likely to scrape against stair risers, rub against the floor mats while driving,&nbsp;and show unsightly cracking? &nbsp;Hmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-saga-feel-your-pain-mo-diana-question-for-cathy-others#post-1187592 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 14:27:27 +0000 Mo 1187592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Commiserating but no leads for you, I'm afraid. &nbsp;I'm starting to think a mule/bootie combo might be my answer. &nbsp;Kind of like these, but way less of a heel, and price tag! &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-joanna-ankle-strap-bootie/3589135?cm_cat=datafeed&amp;cm_ite=vince_%27joanna%27_ankle_strap_bootie:954512&amp;cm_pla=shoes:women:boots&amp;cm_ven=Google_Product_Ads&amp;mr:referralID=7e2f6cf1-a604-11e3-9f1f-001b2166becc">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vi.....=vince_%27</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-saga-feel-your-pain-mo-diana-question-for-cathy-others#post-1187502 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 12:25:50 +0000 April 1187502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really want two things:&nbsp;</p> <p>1. &nbsp;a rugged, RATE pair of cut-out booties, and <br />2. &nbsp;a more refined heeled pair if possible</p> <p>I have been following Diana's and Mo's bootie quests with great interest.&nbsp;</p> <p>For the RATE (make that "flat RATE")&nbsp;&nbsp;spot,&nbsp;I'm thinking about the JC Everly, and went back to look at Cathy's thread on hers:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-black-booties-i-think-jeffrey-campbell-everly">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ell-everly</a></p> <p>Cathy, it looks like there is a fair amount&nbsp;of space between your heel and the back of the bootie, raising my prior question: is this kind of space fine in the fit of&nbsp;a cut-out bootie? &nbsp;Has it caused any problems for you?</p> <p>For the heeled spot, does anyone have suggestions? &nbsp;They have to be unbelievably comfortable and accommodate really small ankles. &nbsp;These are the ones I returned:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zappos.com/gentle-souls-osaka-mia-black">http://www.zappos.com/gentle-souls-osaka-mia-black</a>&nbsp; I just couldn't get past the flat, stubby toe, but that cutout in the front provided fantastic ankle fit and they were comfortable. &nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you for any help you can offer, experienced ones!</p> <p> </p>
