I’m glad you got them and like them. I just returned the brown ones this morning. Since technically I didn’t need either, I had to pick one. I decided on the black. I’ve still got a pair of Sofft boots in brown I will wear this winter. They don’t look as good with skirts though, but I’ve got a lot lot of black in my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-lace-up-boots---making-a-case-for-black/page/2#post-2047674 Thu, 25 Jul 2019 17:35:00 +0000 Beewee 2047674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoot whoot!&nbsp; I got mine yesterday and they fit like a dream.&nbsp; The are sooo cushy!

I don’t think I’ll be able to justify two colors (and I’m pretty good at justifying ) I’m leaning black, but won’t make a final determination until I can do a try on session with both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-lace-up-boots---making-a-case-for-black#post-2046439 Sun, 21 Jul 2019 20:31:35 +0000 Aquamarine 2046439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look perfect for what you need. Why not try the brown ones too? They might fill another hole. I am so picky about comfort now that if I have a clear winner and can justify a pair in another color, I don’t think twice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-lace-up-boots---making-a-case-for-black#post-2046238 Sun, 21 Jul 2019 07:44:46 +0000 Jaime 2046238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've always had a thing for lace up boots.

It will be interesting to see what you think when you have the brown ones for comparison. It sounds like they fill different needs. You might still want a brown boot, even if not this particular one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-lace-up-boots---making-a-case-for-black#post-2046180 Sun, 21 Jul 2019 01:40:06 +0000 smittie 2046180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look terrific on your feet! Well now I’m wondering if I should get a pair of these...I love the black. They seem on the verge of stompiness, but not quite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-lace-up-boots---making-a-case-for-black#post-2046174 Sun, 21 Jul 2019 00:46:52 +0000 Susie 2046174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a big fan of lace up boots and was so tempted by these. They look fab on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-lace-up-boots---making-a-case-for-black#post-2046173 Sun, 21 Jul 2019 00:42:41 +0000 delurked 2046173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks. </p> <p>FI - I seem to be between sizes in Frye. I had some lovely boots from N Rack that were incredibly priced. I think I found them for about $30. Unfortunately, even that amount was too much because they rarely got worn.</p> <p>Beewee - hope they arrive to you soon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-lace-up-boots---making-a-case-for-black#post-2046162 Sun, 21 Jul 2019 00:00:53 +0000 Anonymous 2046162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful on your foot - love this boot.

Obviously last season’s models instead of next seasons, but if you’re shopping for something to wear for years to come, then that’s not such a big deal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-lace-up-boots---making-a-case-for-black#post-2046154 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 23:11:12 +0000 Beewee 2046154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These were the first thing I placed in my cart! I love them and I love them on you! Someday hopefully they will get around to shipping them to me. It’s taking the forever to get things out this year.☹️ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-lace-up-boots---making-a-case-for-black#post-2045998 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 16:28:51 +0000 JAileen 2045998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look good!

I like seeing items on others, so hope it helps someone select it or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-lace-up-boots---making-a-case-for-black#post-2045976 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 15:55:21 +0000 Bennett 2045976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I love these exactly because they are more refined and delicate than the stompy combat booties. I have had very similar booties in the past that I completely wore out, which is very rare for me to do!&nbsp;</p> <p>I have already placed my order for them in black. Fingers crossed that I actually snag them! Yours look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-lace-up-boots---making-a-case-for-black#post-2045746 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 03:30:03 +0000 kellygirl 2045746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are perfect! I love them with dresses. The fit at the ankle is perfect. Retro and refined! Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-lace-up-boots---making-a-case-for-black#post-2045745 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 03:28:19 +0000 Suz 2045745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really liked the look of these boots in store and I like them even more on you. They are very supple looking and soft and yes -- refined! These should serve you well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-lace-up-boots---making-a-case-for-black#post-2045705 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 00:28:46 +0000 delurked 2045705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christina - I’ve almost gotten two born boots you wore last winter. I think one was the cove boot, which was waterproof, and the other was a teal boot (I know they had other colors too). I think this one probably suits my needs and climate better, so I’m happy they were in the sale. I knew I would be looking to see what Born had in NAS even before they got the top pick from Angie. I’ve worn Born shoes for probably the last two decades. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-lace-up-boots---making-a-case-for-black#post-2045697 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 00:15:08 +0000 Christina F. 2045697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh I love these. So great for you. Fabulous 90’s looks with the dresses. </p> <p>They are on my maybe list for if they’re still available towards the end of the sale. I didn’t pull the trigger yet because I have similar boots, but of a slightly lower quality, and these would have to replace them. But Born has been very good to me lately. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-lace-up-boots---making-a-case-for-black#post-2045692 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 00:05:30 +0000 delurked 2045692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see what you're saying Donna.&nbsp; I was thinking the brown might go better with some of the more summery dresses, or even look nice with navy.&nbsp; However, I'm not opposed to wearing black boots with the navy floral dress in one of those pictures.&nbsp; Most of my wardrobe is dark, and I have quite a bit of both black and navy.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-lace-up-boots---making-a-case-for-black#post-2045691 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 00:02:39 +0000 DonnaF 2045691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From the photo, the brown give off a slightly rugged vibe due to the variation in color whereas the black is quite refined. It seems like the black is much more what you are seeking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-lace-up-boots---making-a-case-for-black#post-2045686 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 23:35:40 +0000 delurked 2045686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all. </p> <p>LP - I agree they aren’t exactly a traditional combat boot. But that’s a been there, done that for me. I want something sleeker than what I’ve had in past. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-lace-up-boots---making-a-case-for-black#post-2045685 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 23:31:14 +0000 KMM 2045685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some similar boots by Frye and wear them styled with my dresses too! Therefore, I approve </p>
