It's quite chunky, and I wasn't planning on walking a ton in these anyway...they were intended for dressier occasions. But the shaft fit was no good, so back they go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borns-going-back#post-788540 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 22:06:10 +0000 pil 788540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a shame, those are some handsome boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borns-going-back#post-788538 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 22:02:32 +0000 Raisin 788538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhh, too bad! What a lovely color, and so sleek! Did you find the heel height to be high? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borns-going-back#post-788537 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 22:00:00 +0000 Suz 788537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, Shannon, I will look, but I doubt if I will find. In fact I will be lucky to find black that fit, that's the truth of it. You know....the trouble with having shorter calves....alas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borns-going-back#post-788521 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 21:35:06 +0000 Transcona Shannon 788521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well that just stinks Suz! Are you going to look for an ink blue alternative? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borns-going-back#post-788406 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 19:14:23 +0000 ManidipaM 788406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, that's just too bad --- those looked so promising in pixels! :-(</p> <p>I think, given different fit issues of my own, boots really do need to be tried on in person for most people though... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borns-going-back#post-788401 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 19:05:43 +0000 Suz 788401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Kristin! It's funny, because I was eyeing those, too, but decided my real need was for something dressier. Alas...</p> <p>But I'm glad they are working for you! And yes, eventually the right dressy boot will turn up. If I find something, I'll let you know. I am a bit taller at 5'4" but my calves are proportionately short so I need about the same height. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borns-going-back#post-788397 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 19:02:30 +0000 Kristin SF 788397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL. Not only did I keep the Treddy's in gray, I bought them in black and walnut as well. ;-)</p> <p>They are a perfect height for me (5'2") - I think they are around 12.75"'ish. </p> <p>I do eventually want to find a dressy boot at around 13.5-14" tall, but haven't found the right pair yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borns-going-back#post-788395 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 18:57:10 +0000 Suz 788395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BTW, did you keep the Treddy's??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borns-going-back#post-788394 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 18:57:09 +0000 Kristin SF 788394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, onward. I do believe that once I find the perfect boot, I will buy them in all available colors on the spot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borns-going-back#post-788393 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 18:55:27 +0000 Suz 788393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack! Kristin, NOW I remember that thread. I should pay more attention to brands....I remember looking at your boots but not which ones they were. I should have asked before pulling that trigger. </p> <p>EXACT same problem....could have been me in those photos, except I was wearing my gym shorts when I tried them on, which is why I didn't bring the pics to the forum &lt;grin&gt;. </p> <p>Well, actually, I knew from the first second that they were wrong for me. </p> <p>Oh well. Onward!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borns-going-back#post-788392 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 18:52:54 +0000 Kristin SF 788392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And yes - I have also come to the conclusion that I will eventually find the perfect boot in person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borns-going-back#post-788390 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 18:52:22 +0000 Kristin SF 788390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw your initial post when you bought it, and wondered if you would have the same problem as I did. See pics here:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-short-legs-are-fab-but-tall-boots-are-tough" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-are-tough</a></p> <p>Bummer, but I do believe the perfect boot is out there for us! I keep searching -- and am trying to enjoy the hunt in the meantime. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borns-going-back#post-788387 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 18:48:48 +0000 Suz 788387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! </p> <p>It is all a process of trial and error. I do think perhaps for me, boots must be tried on in person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borns-going-back#post-788385 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 18:41:17 +0000 Anonymous 788385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alas. Better luck next time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borns-going-back#post-788370 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 18:23:41 +0000 kellygirl 788370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a good attitude! That's a bummer they didn't work out. On to better things </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/borns-going-back#post-788363 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 18:08:11 +0000 Suz 788363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered these ink blue lovelies from Nordstrom: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/born-lissa-boot/3297872?origin=keywordsearch&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bo.....sultback=0</a></p> <p>They came....and the footbed is comfortable. </p> <p>But they have to go back, alas. They are both too tall..and...shockingly to me, who has not had this problem yet....FAR too wide!! </p> <p>Sad to say goodbye to them, especially since it is rare to find blue footwear these days, and these were inky, almost black, but still just discernibly blue, and would have worked well with my wardrobe. And i need a dressier, heeled boot. </p> <p>Not to mention the fact that I have to pay for the return postage. </p> <p>Ah well. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. </p>
