But supposedly I am medium-boned, according to those sites that calculate such things. I have no idea how small boned women find anything!</p> <p>(I think those sites take into account height which means proportionately for someone 5'0 tall I have medium bones. Whereas if I was 5'8 I'd be small-boned).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-dainty-ankles---show-me-your-bootie-looks/page/2#post-1175789 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 02:59:04 +0000 Anonymous 1175789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Impos that Shiny has come the closest to not having the flower pot effect that all my other booties have. The combination of largish feet attached to small boned legs and ankles makes a good ankle fit extremely rare. When I do find it (La Cannadienne), they look odd. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-dainty-ankles---show-me-your-bootie-looks/page/2#post-1175750 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 02:22:45 +0000 anne 1175750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm at work so don't have time to read all the responses but just wanted to say thanks for bringing up this question Mo.<br /> I bought my first pair of booties at the end of the Australian winter and wore then just a little, but certainly had ankle issues.

They pop out despite my best efforts.</p> <p>ETA: All of my booties are heeled (2-3"). &nbsp;I'm looking for some flatter (1-1.5 inch heel) ones and I do think the FPE is worse with flat booties. &nbsp;(I think the angle of a heel does offset it a bit).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-dainty-ankles---show-me-your-bootie-looks#post-1175132 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 15:50:23 +0000 ATLynn 1175132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Following this with interest since I also have the skinny ankle problem (emphasized by a wide middle/hip).</p> <p>To check in store inventory, scroll down to the very bottom of the description and small text, and the site will either either ask you to enter a zip code, or if you're logged in, tell you that they are available at X of Y local stores.&nbsp; See pic. </p> <p>Good luck on your booties - they're not in stock at my local store, and also not in the Northern VA zip that I put in to take the screen shot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-dainty-ankles---show-me-your-bootie-looks#post-1175130 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 15:44:05 +0000 Mo 1175130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Speaking of nude booties,&nbsp;I am somewhat enamored of the Dolce Vita Navi bootie although I really want black for starters. &nbsp;I can't seem to stop looking at them, too. &nbsp;No idea on the ankle fit, though. &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.revolveclothing.com/dv-by-dolce-vita-navi-bootie-in-natural/dp/DOLC-WZ467/?"><a href="http://www.revolveclothing.com/dv-by-dolce-vita-navi-bootie-in-natural/dp/DOLC-WZ467/" rel="nofollow">http://www.revolveclothing.com.....OLC-WZ467/</a>?</a>&amp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-dainty-ankles---show-me-your-bootie-looks#post-1175128 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 15:41:17 +0000 shiny 1175128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana G, do you have a link to your nude booties?

These, by the way, are my LOFT Bf's which are extra baggy. I play around with the cuffing - these are cuffed high enough to show off the whole bootie. I have also worn them cuffed longer than that. Just depends on my mood.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic 2 - same Impo booties in black, with AG Skinnies. Which I never got hemmed, so they have a lot of scrunch. I could not tuck them into the Impo booties at all - because the booties hug my ankle like a glove. There's zero room for tucking skinnies, but I prefer it that way.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't know if I have a pic but I also wear the booties all the time with my ponte knit pants which are supposed to be ankle pants, but on me they run long. What that means is that the pants hem just covers the top of the bootie - no skin shows. Those pants are at an awkward&nbsp;length and would not look right with shooties, but work just right with these booties.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-dainty-ankles---show-me-your-bootie-looks#post-1175123 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 15:33:35 +0000 Suz 1175123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those ones stop at just the place where catch-age is most likely to occur. A bit taller vamp will work more smoothly -- or the elastic gore of the Luckys (maybe).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-dainty-ankles---show-me-your-bootie-looks#post-1175122 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 15:31:22 +0000 Mo 1175122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kkards, we are going anyway to get my leather pants, but thanks for the tip. &nbsp;EDIT: just how would one do that anyway? &nbsp;I don't see a spot on the product page that says, "find in store" or similar.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />Here is my most recent attempt at lower vamp booties, and they are a tad too FPE, plus heels a bit higher than I'd like for all day walking shoes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-dainty-ankles---show-me-your-bootie-looks#post-1175120 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 15:29:42 +0000 Suz 1175120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah - I see! I think those boots you're wearing are a bit TOO high and the detail (lacing) makes them bulkier so it is difficult for skinnies to glide over them and stay put.&nbsp;</p> <p>With my Stuarts (refined chelsea boot) and my Zaras, this is no problem at all. The pant goes over the shoe and just stays put without any bunching or weirdness and no necessity for constant adjustment during the day.&nbsp;</p> <p>With my Pettys, the relatively lower&nbsp; and wider opening at the top causes "catching."&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-dainty-ankles---show-me-your-bootie-looks#post-1175119 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 15:28:50 +0000 kkards 1175119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FYI --Mo, not sure if you knew that you can check on line to see if nordstroms has the item you are looking for in store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-dainty-ankles---show-me-your-bootie-looks#post-1175118 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 15:25:11 +0000 Suz 1175118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo - I am wondering if part of the problem is where the bootie ends, i.e. how high it comes. Because I have a bigger problem with this on my <b>shorter</b> booties vs. the (relatively)&nbsp;taller ones.&nbsp;</p> <p>It actually troubles me sometimes with my very snug fitting (elastic gore) SHOOTIES from Donald Pliner. Pants get caught on the vamp somehow. It happens less often with a slender bootie that comes up higher.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-dainty-ankles---show-me-your-bootie-looks#post-1175117 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 15:22:43 +0000 Mo 1175117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Suz - thank you! &nbsp;I admit I want to be able to have my pants kind of glide over the bootie most of the time, and only roll because I feel like it, not because I have to. &nbsp;<br />The only ankle boots I have right now are not conducive to this. &nbsp;Tucking in and pulling over both seem off lol.&nbsp;Pics below.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-dainty-ankles---show-me-your-bootie-looks#post-1175116 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 15:22:04 +0000 kkards 1175116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh, i'm so glad you started this thread. i've been experimenting…(not sure they are all successful)</p> <p>#1 is my attempt from yesterday, not sure i really got it right. cuffed/rolled over the top of the booties. not the best picture, but the booties definitely don't hug my ankles. i'm wearing ankle shoes under the boots.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 these booties are higher, so i rolled the pants over the top. i liked this, but i'm not sure it would work with the lower booties in #1.</p> <p>#3 is the same booties as #2&nbsp;but with pants tucked in. i liked this look, but the pants kept riding up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-dainty-ankles---show-me-your-bootie-looks#post-1175114 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 15:21:27 +0000 Suz 1175114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My true "flower pots" -- the Report Marks.
