However while the rest of me runs hot my feet are always cold and never sweat&nbsp;(I can comfortably wear closed toed flats barefoot&nbsp;all the way up to 95-100 F/35-38 C). So I think they'll work for your winter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-in-warm-weather---have-i-lost-my-marbles#post-1092200 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 19:41:13 +0000 Neel 1092200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Refugee - I have a huge crush on those knee high gladiators! I had first seen them on another blogger. I can't thank you enough for reminding me of those! They can definitely be *my* knee highs instead of the boots!</p> <p>But they are a bit harder to find I guess I have not come across those, in the retail stores here else they would have walked home with me long back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-in-warm-weather---have-i-lost-my-marbles#post-1092195 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 19:35:54 +0000 Neel 1092195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks shemarie! I am very humbled by your comments on my style! </p> <p>For MOTG look, I am going to find the lowest possible heel on my casual boots so that I can wear them everyday of winter on anything I fancy! The right kind of boots are just so versatile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-in-warm-weather---have-i-lost-my-marbles#post-1092193 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 19:34:04 +0000 Refugee 1092193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you thought about a knee-high gladiator sandal? &nbsp;I think they could give a boot-vibe to an outfit in a climate where regular knee high boots aren't really an option.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://rock4less.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-glads-are-back-gladiator-sandals.html">http://rock4less.blogspot.com/.....ndals.html</a>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-in-warm-weather---have-i-lost-my-marbles#post-1092187 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 19:30:04 +0000 Neel 1092187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both the boots are from zara and are available in my local store, Scarlet. I am totally in love with their boots collection. But I am not sure about the comfort, which I would have to check. I have read here that zara shoes are a hit or miss. Mine were a hit but not sure of these until I try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-in-warm-weather---have-i-lost-my-marbles#post-1092182 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 19:27:29 +0000 shemarie 1092182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the idea of cut-outs and peep-toe booties, Neel, and think you would definitely really rock them with your amazing style! I will be watching your thread as I'm on the lookout for some MOTG-friendly styles as well, though I'm a bit&nbsp;unsure of how to make them work for my own daily life.&nbsp; </p> <p>Living in Arizona, my climate is extremely similar, but I have to say every single day it is below about 75 degrees F or so&nbsp;I wear boots.&nbsp; Every. Single. Day. Of course, that's only about three or four months' worth, but as long as the boots are real leather and the&nbsp;outfit isn't seasonally-confused otherwise, I believe it works and my feet are very happy.&nbsp;&nbsp;In fact, after living here a long time and adjusting to the&nbsp;extreme heat, I'm amazed at just how quickly my feet now get cold...like if it's in the 60s! Sad, but true.&nbsp; Also, for&nbsp;style inspiration, &nbsp;I find Rae's, CocoLion's and others'&nbsp;styles/photos extremely helpful!&nbsp;</p> <p>Can't wait to see what you find and how you incorporate them into your style!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-in-warm-weather---have-i-lost-my-marbles#post-1092163 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 19:14:11 +0000 Scarlet 1092163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would also say cut outs. That first pair you show reminds me a lot of other pairs I have seen on the Internet lately with cutouts. I think it must be copying some particular style, like I don't know, Alexander Wang? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-in-warm-weather---have-i-lost-my-marbles#post-1092154 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 19:05:48 +0000 Neel 1092154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your very helpful comments. Cut outs are definitely my style and I will keep an eye out for them. Unlined and roomy is what I need to remember! </p> <p>Thanks for the links rae! I will surely give the peep toes a try if the right one comes along. I love Anna's boots and hope to find something similar for my dainty ankles!</p> <p>Gryffin - The everly is plain awesome! I hope I find them here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-in-warm-weather---have-i-lost-my-marbles#post-1092138 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 18:50:32 +0000 Anonymous 1092138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If your feet like them, why not? My feet are always cold, so I wear boots most of the year. I haven't worn them in summer, but think I might if I manage to find some that look different than the ones I wear in cooler weather. The suggestion of cutout booties sounds like a winner to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-in-warm-weather---have-i-lost-my-marbles#post-1092124 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 18:36:33 +0000 Jude 1092124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, your winter is like my summer And I LOVE wearing boots during summer, with breezy dresses and bare legs. It shouldn't be warmer than 25 C, though. 22 degrees C is usually the point where I start to feel a little bit uncomfortable in boots. I don't do tall boots, but slouchy midcalf boots, pull-on biker boots, booties all work for me. I prefer it if they are slightly roomy around the calves. And I agree with Diana: unlined / lined with leather boots would be better. And yes, cutout booties! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-in-warm-weather---have-i-lost-my-marbles#post-1092117 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 18:30:41 +0000 gryffin 1092117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neel - I hate sandals.&nbsp; I have a true fear of hurting my toes and my feet are always cold.&nbsp; I was thrilled when booties came in peeptoe, cut outs, slashed varieties.&nbsp; I have the Jeffery Campbell Everly and Alexia booties and I wore them as my version of sandals all summer.&nbsp; So I am a huge yes.&nbsp; If they make more of that ilk this summer I will be stocking up.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; PS Jeffery Campbell makes extremely comfy booties if you want to check them out I find both just total foot heaven!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-in-warm-weather---have-i-lost-my-marbles#post-1092092 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 18:11:16 +0000 rae 1092092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, maybe do a test run with an inexpensive pair of booties first. I personally wear boots in all but our hottest months in Los Angeles. But other people in my same climate can't stand to do that.&nbsp;</p> <p>Other options are cutout booties like Anna just got, peep toe booties as Diana suggested, or gladiators with thick straps like Dr. Martens makes.

Well its mostly very dry and hot! I never sweat here! But boots could be a different ball game! My last boots hardly got two wears and those were mostly indoors, so can't rely on past experience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-in-warm-weather---have-i-lost-my-marbles#post-1092072 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 17:59:48 +0000 peacechick 1092072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know your problem well cos I used to live in that kind of climate! I definitely think you can pull off ankle booties. I have a friend who wore such booties to work everyday under pants. If you work in air-con, it's not hot and socks will absorb regular sweat.</p> <p>I would say try and get some ventilation in there so the feet don't feel suffocated. The trends right now help: wide shafts, cut outs, perforation. Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-in-warm-weather---have-i-lost-my-marbles#post-1092039 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 17:40:23 +0000 Diana 1092039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I were you, I'd consider getting some peep-toe booties!&nbsp; I think you might live in the only climate where they would be practical.&nbsp; </p> <p>Otherwise, look for things that are lighter weight in unlined or lined in leather (no fake leather lining, as that is sweaty, and obviously no fleece or fur lining!).&nbsp; I think the big issue is humidity.&nbsp; If it's <i>dry</i> and hot, boots or booties will be fine.&nbsp; The problem is if it's humid and hot (like it is in summers here in New England where I live), then your feet get horridly sweaty.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boots-in-warm-weather---have-i-lost-my-marbles#post-1092030 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 17:34:30 +0000 Neel 1092030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I live in a country which has four seasons "extremely hot", "very hot", "hot", "not that hot". &nbsp;We have about 4 months of "not that hot" weather where our temps are usually between 12/15C to 20/25C and we call this weather winter! &nbsp;You will usually see all kinds of boots during this season. &nbsp;During the summer, the air conditioning in malls/restaurants or just about anywhere is arctic but boots are not that visible.</p> <p>I don't own&nbsp;boots for now (the one with high heels is in the line of fire because of discomfort). &nbsp;But I love the way they refresh a boring outfit. &nbsp;If I could .... I would have boots of all length and styles! &nbsp;How I envy you girls with boots to rock!&nbsp; :D&nbsp;I might have a budget of about 250$ the next month and I have seen some really cool pairs in Zara. &nbsp;Now my questions!</p> <p>1) Would you recommend boots for my climate?<br />2)&nbsp;I don't think a knee high is going to work for practicality reasons but do you think I could own 2 pairs of ankle boots or is that too much?<br />3) I was thinking one dressier pair and one casual grungy one, both in black (something like the ones attached). &nbsp;Since my wardrobe is mostly made of blacks and they would bookend well with my black hair. &nbsp;Do you think that is sensible?</p> <p>Wondering if I am being practical and sensible here! &nbsp;Or have I lost my marbles? </p>
