So much lovely texture, and the color is such a pretty soft, taupey brown. I want those for sure. I'm still torn on the KC Worth Ur While. The style is perfect. I want a flat black/gray boot that is weather appropriate, but I'm not sure those are the ones. Docs measure smaller than my calf width, so those are unfortunately out. Lisa on "Boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-4#post-260297 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 16:13:18 +0000 Lisa 260297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My order is: Born KC Worth your while Wanted KC Motorized Knee Your style is very streamlined, a lace up boot would be a big departure in my eyes for you. But take that with a grain of salt, I have much to learn here. medusa on "Boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-4#post-260257 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 15:25:09 +0000 medusa 260257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sarah, I think a pair of lace-up boots would be killer on you. They are a bit different from your usual style, but I bet you could do all kinds of fun things with them. Both the Boutique 9 and the Kenneth Cole lace-ups are fab in my opinion. Sarah on "Boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-4#post-260244 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 15:10:27 +0000 Sarah 260244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ *bump so Angie can see my calf measurement* I think the Borns are more ME in general, but I can see how useful the KC wedges could be practical for the Northwest winters. I will only be there a week, so the boots would have to be useful to me here at home, too. I could potentially be overthinking this, too. I just want to feel fab and be able to walk around for a few hours and not worry about the elements destroying my boots. If it were you, what order would you order these to try? Mellllls on "Boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-4#post-260059 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 03:22:01 +0000 Mellllls 260059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ i really like the 2 kc ones. not sure why but they seem the most appropriate for the pacific northwest.

I don't know how tall you are, but it would have cut into the backs of my knees. Sarah on "Boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-4#post-259822 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 22:13:37 +0000 Sarah 259822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ack, I don't have narrow calves! Heh. I guessed on the 13", but it's actually 14". My cognac boots are the Steve Madden Maryns that are 14.25", so those would be too big for you. catgirl on "Boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-4#post-259806 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 22:05:47 +0000 catgirl 259806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LOVE those Boutique 9 boots! Can I ask what your fab cognac boots are, as I am on the hunt for some to fit my narrow calves? Jonesy on "Boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-4#post-259755 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 20:43:46 +0000 Jonesy 259755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love those Boutique 9 lace-ups! Lace-ups seem like a great option if you have slim calves and like that rugged look. Sadly, I just returned those Frye Missy tall wedge boots--they were super comfortable and beautiful, but too big in the calf for me, so I'm guessing they might be too big for you too.

I'll have to check out the Boutique 9's Debbie. I saw these ones <a href="http://www.endless.com/Boutique%20Womens%20Randall%20Knee-High%20Boot/dp/B003IHULCO/ref=rsl_1-2/?fromPage=mythings&refURL=%2Fmythings%2F&asins=B002NU0Z1O,B003FMVXAQ,B003IHULCO,B003FMVXNI,B001IXXT88,B003BT634Y,B003FMVW6Q,B0037KL4XC,B0027P9Z16,B003D5MC50,B003HK7MAQ,B003CP0ZNC,B003DWZOG2,B003FSSCGI,B003XDVSR0,B0038LX93S,B003HK7M4M,B003GBXVQK,B003H17GI8,B003M0NUK2,B003O69NC8,B003FGVVM2,B002OEBY14,B003M0NQC4,B001CUS7UW,B003DSGQHM,B003DNRU5O,B003EEWUGQ,B003WQAMQQ,B003P0XKCM,B003TV56DS,B002MD0GCA,B002USGXCY,B003EPI3YI,B003EFKAO4,B003EFS8V6,B002DPVGG2,B003GS7CYA,B003BEDKVI,B003DSGQW2,B0031MA4LY,B0037HQ5SY,B003719IT8,B003718IKI,B002B2MMNS,B002B2IPKM,B003M0O4Q6,B0029PO2YE,B0029PT8VQ,B0029PHBJW,B002VWKAI2" rel="nofollow">http://www.endless.com/Boutiqu.....B002VWKAI2</a> and liked them, so now I'm curious if it's the same....

With all of the colors and finishes I bet there is one that fits your style while giving it a bit of a twist. All of the boots you've shown are great looking. Do you prefer leather or other materials? It looks like you've chosen some of each. Debbie on "Boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-4#post-259657 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 17:53:31 +0000 Debbie 259657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the KC lace up's. Have you tried the Doc's? I think you would love them. The Boutique Nine's in Angies's store are great too. Sarah on "Boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-4#post-259601 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 16:28:39 +0000 Sarah 259601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yeah Maya, that's why I thought that was too small. I need to measure more accurately when I get home. They've shrunk a little, but not THAT much I don't think. Maya on "Boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-4#post-259599 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 16:25:45 +0000 Maya 259599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My calves are 13", so if yours are 13" all of those would be too big. Stylewise I love the KC ones, but that's just my bias. Somehow I can't picture Docs as part of your style, but it would definitely be a contrast. The Born ones seem the most "you" to me. Sarah on "Boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-4#post-259594 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 16:11:17 +0000 Sarah 259594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't know, Angie. I think they're 13" but that sounds small? The Maryns are 14.25" and fit perfectly over jeans. I'm going to take those, I just don't want to ruin them... And I want a blackish option (preferably gray) too.

[off to work!] Velma on "Boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-4#post-259589 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 16:07:40 +0000 Velma 259589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've had great luck with Born boots, Sarah. FYI that they run a bit big (about the same as Fryes). I take either a 9 or 9.5, but always a 9 in Borns. I think my Frye engineer boots have a finish similar to the Borns you've shown. They are great in sloppy weather. I clean off any salt stains with a soft rag dipped in a mixture of one tablespoon white vinegar to one cup water. Once in a while I clean them with saddle soap or apply a little mink oil if they look dry.

I was especially dubious about the gores. My heeled leather boots are bought for comfort but I wanted a pair that would (hopefully) be supercomfy and decent in slush/on ice. And they really are SO COMFORTABLE. I don't love the non-breathability, but I'm making do. Ironically I've gotten several compliments on them, but then I'm in the PNW, so....You'd fit in when you get here! Have worn with skirts for a more casual look as well as dress pants/jeans. However -- are you one of those small-calf posters? Because these are actually the first pair I've ever had where I have a scootch of room (and the gores/velcro tab at top means they could handle bigger). If you want to wear over skinnys then they'd prob be perfect. Also -- said velco can catch on tights if you cross your legs.

I would think the laces could be adjusted so you can get them over jeans--I'd definitely get the ones with the full zip and laces. FWIW, I have a pair of Wanted boots--I wear too often. They are roomy and rather heavy--not the most comfortable but they've held up great over the years. Of your selections, I like the Born the best.

I am on the boot hunt, too. We are going skiing next month, and I have been trying to find a great boot for wearing on the plane, apres ski, etc. I almost caved in and bought Uggs. (Sorry, Ugg fans!) Sarah on "Boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-4#post-259566 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 15:45:26 +0000 Sarah 259566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have already found a great pair of cognac and a great pair of black boots. However, my black boots have a heel, so I feel like I need one more pair (at least one more for now) of boots that are more comfortable. I'm heading to the Northwest for the holidays and needed a pair that could be really versatile and weather appropriate. After scouring five websites and hundreds of boots, I found these. <a href="http://www.zappos.com/kenneth-cole-reaction-worth-ur-while-cloud-synthetic" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/kenneth-.....-synthetic</a> Does anyone have experience with these or KC boots? I personally think my style is a little more...different? But the other boots I considered might be too tricky. I've thought about trying Docs but I'm afraid they wouldn't fit over jeans for me, and I really love this style <a href="http://www.zappos.com/product/7653047/color/240107" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/product/7653047/color/240107</a> but I'm not sure they'd do well with the weather.
