More unique color (and black lace-up boots seem to be around each season, though I know it's a tough fit), a wee it lighter but still moody enough to pair with your other moody shades, and gives you a better pairing with bare legs if you want to sport that look. Love them on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/demeulemeester-ish-boots-fit-now-what-color#post-1318034 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 19:40:11 +0000 rae 1318034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for all the invaluable opinions!</p> <p>To be honest, I knew I was keeping the black for sure a half day through. But I still wanted to know your thoughts, and I think I'll be keeping both (!!). The wave of love for the green cannot be denied - one will be a dressy option, the other a rugged/distressed option. I will just have to fund my splurge with some purge. I got them on the extra !5% off sale, so IMO they are a steal for how luxurious they look and feel.</p> <p>Angie, the widest part of my calf is 14", but I have this <i>thing</i> about boots hitting at the widest part of my leg, so I prefer them to come up higher, and that width is 13".&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/demeulemeester-ish-boots-fit-now-what-color#post-1317980 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 18:51:46 +0000 Diana 1317980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Green.&nbsp; You are rocking the green lately so I bet they'll go with half your wardrobe.&nbsp; </p> <p>I'm being good and telling myself I do NOT need another pair of laceup boots.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/demeulemeester-ish-boots-fit-now-what-color#post-1317977 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 18:47:19 +0000 Angie 1317977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer Sensational.

The boots are stunning! What a great fit.</p> <p>I'm gonna be of no help to you re. green or black.

I like that the green is subtle. That way it will blend better with your clothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/demeulemeester-ish-boots-fit-now-what-color#post-1317510 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 03:51:36 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1317510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am partial to green myself. Kind of smitten with it, in fact. (I just posted about some olive boots I got from NAS.) So I like those best, and I find they are unique, like others have mentioned. And like you said, the rugged vibe with them is so cool--and goes really well with the style. That said, the black are a gorgeous bookend with your hair, and if you need black boots, these might be them. Or, would you rather have your black boot be a more conventional look (you mentioned you want sleek)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/demeulemeester-ish-boots-fit-now-what-color#post-1317507 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 03:47:05 +0000 Jaime 1317507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Green! That kind of green goes with lots of stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/demeulemeester-ish-boots-fit-now-what-color#post-1317505 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 03:44:02 +0000 Janet 1317505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How awesome are those? I gotta say, I'm feeling the green more than the black. This is reminding me of how everyone encouraged me to go for the cobalt blue backpack handbag instead of the black. I'm finding the blue way more useful than I expected, and it speaks to me so much more than the black! If you love the green, it's not an easy color to find in footwear, so I say go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/demeulemeester-ish-boots-fit-now-what-color#post-1317500 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 03:37:50 +0000 jennifer 1317500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you haaaavvveee to Only get one...I'd say green . If you can rationalize keeping or buying both..well I've got a rationalization for you. You are getting both because they look and feel great and because some of us who can't find knee boots to fit ( very weird size combo) can at least enjoy seeing you style them. And you totally rock them too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/demeulemeester-ish-boots-fit-now-what-color#post-1317390 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 01:46:25 +0000 Sveta 1317390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a soft spot for the green ones - but then I have hard relationship with black footwear in general. Gorgeous boots (I also love them in grey). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/demeulemeester-ish-boots-fit-now-what-color#post-1317384 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 01:41:34 +0000 rae 1317384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura and Shedev, the laces are functional AND there is a zip. So custom calf fit combined with easy on/off. :)</p> <p>Unfrumped, that is actually a big help - I like how many different scenarios you thought to mention.&nbsp;</p> <p>Una, interesting you say the black is dull... I guess it is more dressy and stands out less until you look at it closely. Hm, I should consider how much of a statement I want the boot to make, too, then. Food for thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/demeulemeester-ish-boots-fit-now-what-color#post-1317342 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 00:46:18 +0000 unfrumped 1317342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oi. I hate choices like this!<br />First you have to decide if you're trying to be very rational and practical or if there's just an emotional thing about one color that you want to go with. I'd also just line up all your intended wardrobe items; you might just have lots of colors that go green, whereas someone else might have tons of black.</p> <p>Green may be better with skin--as with bare legs/skirts. Not that you're green! I just think it's a&nbsp;softer color and slightly more 'natural" than black and so looks good with some skin showing. <br />Black would be typically more "acceptable" with a range of clothing colors. Also, did you plan on lots of tights outfits, and if so, what would you use. Tights options have expanded and so you might find some that are coordinatable. Or you could see if regular black tights just work anyway.<br />But, you may not care about wearing them with say, 20 outfits, you may have 10 fab green boot options that work. Green should work with denim.<br />There needs to be a balance of practical with love, but not sure where that is. </p> <p>Oh dear--I'm no help at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/demeulemeester-ish-boots-fit-now-what-color#post-1317318 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 00:25:00 +0000 shedev 1317318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The black would fill my hole, are the laces functional or just decorative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/demeulemeester-ish-boots-fit-now-what-color#post-1317304 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 00:05:54 +0000 Thistle 1317304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am the odd one out. I vote black as I think you will get more use out of them and are less likely to tire of the color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/demeulemeester-ish-boots-fit-now-what-color#post-1317297 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 23:57:45 +0000 Laura 1317297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, first off, I want to mention that those boots are a COOL find. I love how they can instantly add attitude to any outfit. I'd go for the blacks because black tends to be more versatile and go with anything. </p> <p>Are they real lace boots or do they have a hidden zipper somewhere? If they are lace, how long does it take to lace them up? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/demeulemeester-ish-boots-fit-now-what-color#post-1317295 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 23:53:33 +0000 Suz 1317295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait a minute! How did I miss your haircut?!?!?!?!? That looks <b>awesome</b>!!!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Onto the boots. They are amazing for you in either colour. I vote the green because it's unique.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/demeulemeester-ish-boots-fit-now-what-color#post-1317294 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 23:52:45 +0000 catgirl 1317294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lucky you! I am going with the green - in fact, I may reorder in a size up. So frustrating. They are lovely. The black was a bit dull for my taste somehow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/demeulemeester-ish-boots-fit-now-what-color#post-1317291 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 23:41:31 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1317291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dark green best. It's a beautiful color and the boots will stand out that much more for being unique. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/demeulemeester-ish-boots-fit-now-what-color#post-1317290 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 23:39:06 +0000 karymk 1317290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always like a luxury item in an unexpected color. &nbsp;You can get black in anything, but it takes guts to buy an expensive item in a color. &nbsp;Since these boots are indeed gutsy just by design, I say you will enjoy the green better. They read "dark" so I think they will do the same job the black option. &nbsp;How does the green pair look with your pant collection? </p> <p>On the other hand...Are you missing a black boot in your closet? Is that what you thought of first? Then that may indeed be what you need to plunk down the cash for. &nbsp;Sorry, I'm no help am I&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/demeulemeester-ish-boots-fit-now-what-color#post-1317279 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 23:28:24 +0000 rae 1317279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb, I don't have black boots like this. My current sleek black boots are kind of boring and not as sleek in the ankle, so I may just sell those regardless. I do also have Ugg Cortonas (Found), which are much heavier and warmer... I was considering reselling those, too, simply because I never ever wear them in the convertible mode. I also can hardly wear them at work since they're so warm.&nbsp;Hmmmm...</p> <p>Rabbit, that is a good point about which bottoms I'd be wearing.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lisap, I kind of wish the green was <i>more</i> green and weird. In the photos now that I look at them they look kind of chocolate brown, and I have these in brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/demeulemeester-ish-boots-fit-now-what-color#post-1317269 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 23:16:08 +0000 Anonymous 1317269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are gorgeous. &nbsp;I would throw caution to the wind and take advantage of having a boot with both a unique style and colour - which means go green! &nbsp;Black is black, always going to be available. &nbsp;But heads will turn with the greener pair, and I bet you find more to work with them than you might expect! &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/demeulemeester-ish-boots-fit-now-what-color#post-1317266 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 23:12:40 +0000 deb 1317266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't you have other black books with this vibe?

The leather feels like it would melt in your mouth, and the calves fit like a second skin, and the heel is a nice and sturdy 2" that gives me a height boost without looking tarty. I don't want to take them off!</p> <p>Now what? How do I decide between the "dark green" color that perfectly matches my olive/taupe/gray leather jacket at Classic Goth Black? I am sort of leaning toward black since it feels dressier, but I also love the ruggedness of the distressing that stands out on the green.&nbsp;</p> <p>Opinions?
