And it still could happen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me/page/2#post-1341783 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 17:31:24 +0000 Susie 1341783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My least favorite are the Clarke's and the Steve Maddens. I think something more sleek is a better choice for you. And I prefer a black heel. I have a soft spot for lace up styles so I do like those. But I think one of the others- Ecco or one of the SE styles- could be more versatile. Any of them would work well. Which is most comfortable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me/page/2#post-1341774 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 17:15:52 +0000 Diana 1341774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Pettys best.<br />I'm also going to be a spanner and say that I actually love the Cobb Hills on you as well.&nbsp; I adore that height and shape in a lace-up boot.&nbsp; I am also someone who has skinny ankles relative to the rest of my legs, and sometimes I like the more balanced look something that covers up my knobby ankles gives.&nbsp; I'd actually lace them just a little looser at the top to give them just a bit of flare there.&nbsp; Just a little bit of a different persepective.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me/page/2#post-1341770 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 17:06:22 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1341770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie on the Pettys and Eccos for looks. Both are so versatile and will go with the outfits you posted. I also agree with you, Alana, that the buckle detail on the Clarks is very cool. Those would go with your outfits, too, though I think they look a little more casual and the buckle might be a little more limiting style-wise. Still, I think you really can't go wrong with any of these three. You could go back to the store with your leggings and tunic on and see which ones you like best for looks and fit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me/page/2#post-1341763 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 16:47:39 +0000 Angie 1341763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the SE Pettys and the Eccos best. They are 10s if they past the comfort test.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me/page/2#post-1341660 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 12:40:52 +0000 Alana in Canada 1341660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am at work, waiting for my shift to start, so I don't have time to respons individually at the moment.<br />It just occurred to me, though, as I was coming to work: sometimes I miss my bus. and choose to walk home. It's about 5 kilometres. Which ones would be best for that?<br />OK--given all I have heard, it is between the eccos and the pettys. I, personally, love the Clarke's, too. So hard! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341657 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 12:20:55 +0000 Traci 1341657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first instinct is that I like the Ecco best. &nbsp;However, after reading your description of slipping on the Petty, I'd say go for those. &nbsp;When my feet say "ahhhhh..." to a pair of shoes, I know those are the ones for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341656 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 12:18:17 +0000 Anonymous 1341656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking through the pictures, the Ecco ones stood out as amazingly flattering on you. I think they all do work, although the Cobb Hill ones are my least favorite because they do kind of mask the shape of your ankles, while the rest really emphasize how nice and shapely your legs are.</p> <p>I agree that the Pettys would be a good basic, go-with-everything pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341654 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 12:08:09 +0000 Suz 1341654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Sveta said, word for word. My faves are the Pettys, the Eccos, and the last Sam Edelman's -- but I have a sleek style. Comfort comes first -- and it does depend on the outfits you have in mind. I think the Eccos might be the most versatile.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341643 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 11:39:54 +0000 Style Fan 1341643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all great.&nbsp; I have problem feet so I always go for comfort first.&nbsp; I have to wear leather (a conflict for me as a vegetarian but a necessity for my feet).&nbsp; Are the Clarks leather?&nbsp; I checked them and I am not sure they are.&nbsp; That would be a problem for me.</p> <p>I love the Pettys.&nbsp; Not sure I could wear them.&nbsp; Wish I could.&nbsp; I think simple is better to start with and they have&nbsp; the right amount of style.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341635 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 11:13:16 +0000 rute 1341635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is 2 also! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341628 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 10:42:59 +0000 Glory 1341628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of them but my favourites are the Petty's </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341618 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 09:42:40 +0000 Deborah 1341618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Having read now what you will be wearing with them and the need for comfort and a low heel, I would suggest the Perry's or the Eccos. They are streamlined and simple but very stylish. Would work with most things and I think would be a great first bootie. Then next year add another boot that is a little different that isn't maybe quite as versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341606 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 08:35:55 +0000 Marley 1341606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a huge fan of the Pettys - I own 4 pairs of them! And the main thing that draws me to them is the comfort! They really work for my feet! I think the Echos are really nice looking but they are so very architectural that I can't see them working with your style. I also like the Clark's and I think they would add a touch of RATE if that's what you're looking for! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341602 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 08:00:57 +0000 lyn67 1341602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YtacLwW92pE/U_7fWXCfwdI/AAAAAAAAJbo/yV98_IK8kbA/s1600/031.JPG" rel="nofollow"></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YtacLwW92pE/U_7fWXCfwdI/AAAAAAAAJbo/yV98_IK8kbA/s1600/031.JPG" rel="nofollow"></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YtacLwW92pE/U_7fWXCfwdI/AAAAAAAAJbo/yV98_IK8kbA/s1600/031.JPG" rel="nofollow"></a>Wow, Alana, the Ecco sculpted are your own&nbsp;ones, for sure:-) but I love the last pair for a dressier vibe, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341563 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 05:03:45 +0000 Alana in Canada 1341563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Josie411.

Gives these ultra fine booties a bit of an edge.</p> <p>JAileen--that isn't helping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341561 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 05:01:09 +0000 josie411 1341561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Pettys but I am biased - I have a pair. They work very well with pants and with some skirts. That said the Steve Maddens (as well as the Pettys) look good on your shapely ankles too!</p> <p>As some else said, mind the shaft height if you plan to wear with certain pant styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341560 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 04:59:11 +0000 Alana in Canada 1341560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Missapb! These boots remind me of a pair I bought in the early 90's. They have a sharper toe and hooks at the top for the laces--they reminded me so strongly of boots from the turn of the century. I loved wearing&nbsp;them. My daughter now has them--they are two sizes too small for me now, alas. They were much more refined, though, than these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341559 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 04:56:31 +0000 JAileen 1341559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you see that the Pettys come in a black snake too? They're interesting with the texture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341555 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 04:47:41 +0000 misapb 1341555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And thank you for inviting us on your shopping trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341554 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 04:46:54 +0000 misapb 1341554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on the minority! I like the profile of the Samantha boots the best. &nbsp;Since it is a higher bootie with a little flare it balances the tops you seem to favor. &nbsp;They would look killer with outfits 2 and 3 in your most recent post, as well as with skirts. &nbsp;You have inspired me to get booties too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341548 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 04:16:17 +0000 Alana in Canada 1341548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jaileen--to be honest, the minute I slipped those Pettys onto my feet, I thought, Well, now I know what all the fuss is about. They fit beutifully nd felt comfortable.</p> <p>But I think I like a little RATE in my style--but it's tough to figure out how best to express that.</p> <p>I tried on a beautifull frothy knit sleeveless cardigan from EF the other day and it was exactly what I wanted--how I wanted to dress--a sleek foundation of a solid top and pant--and then this long flowy thing. Some boots like the spy belle would bring it out of la la land nd ground it in something cool--a nice juxtaposition in my mind. But you know what? I will never wear that flowy sleeveless cardigan. I just can't spend $$$ just to look good sitting in front of my computer all day (I'd have to take it off even to do dishes). (You know, that whole fantasy life vs real life thing).&nbsp;So, I am stumped.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here are a few photos of clothes I have purchased for fall/winter&nbsp;from past posts. As you all know, I have been really struggling. (#4 is a look I've been working on with Mom. The over tunic is something she's sewing.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341537 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 03:43:34 +0000 Alana in Canada 1341537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gigi--good point about the shafts. It was another hot day today--much too hot to wear pants. I may have to bring those home.</p> <p>Amiable and Jen--two more votes for the Eccos. I was just about to leave the store when I turned and sa them high up on a shelf! They are a wedge heel--and it is quite narrow. But they felt fine to walk in (for all of five minutes!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341533 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 03:39:01 +0000 JAileen 1341533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the SE Pettys best. But to be honest I've loved them ever since I first saw them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341532 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 03:38:43 +0000 Alana in Canada 1341532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta--I am drawn to extremes. I love the Pettys (so sleek!) and I love the Stinnger's (so combat bootish!)&nbsp;</p> <p>All cost about the same--all of them are within about $5 of each other. The flatter the better, probably. I will be transitioning to these from Steel-Toed saftey boots AND I will be shopping and running errands in them until the snow flies--and then I will wear them primarily indoors.</p> <p>fern-- I have not yet done my "style words" I have no idea how to even start something like that.&nbsp;</p> <p>Kiwigal--thanks for the comment about my ankles (blush.) I am actually quite&nbsp;grateful they don't swell.</p> <p>Thank you Emily--that is great. No ambiguity. I think you're right, too.</p> <p>Shevia--those are quite different, aren't they? I love both, too. I keep calling the Clarke's "Spy girl" which I just love. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Unfrumped-- I wish I could have afforded bringing them home and dressing up in my closet, lol! I will be wearing leggings and slim fitting knit pants for most of the winter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341526 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 03:24:44 +0000 Jen W 1341526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Ecco's are my favorite on you. Can't wait to see which ones you choose! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341525 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 03:23:59 +0000 Gigi 1341525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all of them work. To pick one, I think it would be helpful to think about how you want to wear them. If you want to be wearing them almost every day, for hours at a time, you might want to go with one that has a low heel rather than the higher-heel ones. Also, depending on your weather, the lower-heel ones might be safer if you will be walking on ice. (But maybe by the time you have ice, you'll be in snow boots anyway.)</p> <p>Depending on the width of the leg opening on your pants, the higher shafts of the Ecco and Cobb Hill might interfere with the bottoms of your pants. You might want to check some of these with pants before deciding.&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree with Fern that it would be helpful to think about your style aspirations. Do you have any ideas of where you would like to head with your wardrobe? More sophisticated? More casual? More RATE? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341524 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 03:23:35 +0000 amiable 1341524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Eccos are my favorite - but they're all terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/come-bootie-picking-with-me#post-1341522 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 03:16:28 +0000 Sveta 1341522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all quite different in style and heel height. What is your style preference: minimal / edgy / retro? And what is your need for the booties: do you need dressy booties or booties you can wear for a full day of walking?<br />If the comfort level is the same for all of them I would prefer Ecco for every day bootie. For a dressy pair I like SE Morillo (if you can manage the heel height) but my style is streamlined and simple. What is yours or at least what are you drawn to? </p>
