I am normally an 8.5 and the size-up was because of the high instep. But they're beautiful. I just refuse to pay full price for them and will probably see them sell out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-really-need-burgundy-bootbooties#post-754479 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:00:53 +0000 annagybe 754479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They were a 10 and I already returned them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-really-need-burgundy-bootbooties#post-754477 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:00:04 +0000 Mochi 754477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>anna, are they a 9?

They are pleats. Still if you don't like them it's OK.

I had a long sad case with a pair of Frye ombre Veronica slouchs, went through two rounds of stretching and I still couldn't get them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-really-need-burgundy-bootbooties#post-748643 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 19:32:31 +0000 Janet 748643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would a cobbler be able to stretch them enough that you could get them on more easily? Assuming you're motivated enough to keep them? My cobbler has successfully stretched a few of my shoes that needed just a bit more room. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-really-need-burgundy-bootbooties#post-748624 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 18:57:46 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 748624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read this post yesterday and was searching for a bootie I had seen that might work. I finally found it today when looking for something else.

But I think you made the right decision. Another equally fab pair are bound to come along someday and in the mean time, you seem well covered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-really-need-burgundy-bootbooties#post-748522 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 17:03:15 +0000 annagybe 748522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I refuse to buy boots that require me to use a plastic bag. I'm just going to return them. It's all too much trouble. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-really-need-burgundy-bootbooties#post-748519 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 17:00:33 +0000 K. Period. 748519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's exactly what I have from Ikea. It's under $5. Another idea: have you tried the plastic bag trick? <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/plastic-bag-boot-horn-79248" rel="nofollow">http://www.apartmenttherapy.co.....horn-79248</a></p> <p>ETA: Crackin' me up Anna! I totally understand. I sometimes feel like shouting, "Add a zipper dammit! Cheapskates." Recently bought these and it was a joke trying to get them on. No way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-really-need-burgundy-bootbooties#post-748516 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 16:55:11 +0000 annagybe 748516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'd have to get a long handle shoe horn because of the shaft height. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-really-need-burgundy-bootbooties#post-748515 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 16:53:06 +0000 K. Period. 748515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, odd question but... do you have a boot- or shoehorn? Just wondering if that might help. I have a very high instep too. I've found that some boots I can't get on without one slide on much more easily using one. As in almost unwearable to totally wearable. Mostly a problem with boots since I like a fitted ankle and fitted ankles plus high insteps equal trouble. I just have an Ikea boot horn, but I'm on the lookout for a cool vintage one now that I've discovered how indispensable they are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-really-need-burgundy-bootbooties#post-748046 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 22:38:29 +0000 bj1111 748046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*snort*. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-really-need-burgundy-bootbooties#post-748039 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 22:34:31 +0000 annagybe 748039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've actually been eyeing those Rebecca Minkoffs.<br /> The DJP isn't uncomfortable, just nearly impossible to put on. They're fine once they're on. But I don't need to battle with my shoes, and I already have a gym routine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-really-need-burgundy-bootbooties#post-748036 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 22:31:23 +0000 bj1111 748036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you don't need those pliner booties.</p> <p>you need these...</p> <p><a href="http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/p/Tabitha-Simmons-Wicked-Tie-Silk-Leather-Bootie-New-Arrivals/prod79080057_cat342302_cat200648_/?index=32&#038;isEditorial=false&#038;cmCat=cat000000cat200648cat342302&#038;ecid=BGALRJ84DHJLQkR4" rel="nofollow">http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com.....84DHJLQkR4</a></p> <p>nope...too high. how about these...mmm, pony hair.</p> <p><a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/rebecca-minkoff-chelsea-booties-refine?ID=635332&#038;PartnerID=LINKSHARE&#038;cm_mmc=LINKSHARE-_-n-_-n-_-n&#038;LinkshareID=J84DHJLQkR4-Gpz2e1nI96n0d5yMhXdr5g" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....d5yMhXdr5g</a></p> <p>or these...buckles!</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/tabitha-simmons-zip-buckle-bootie/3348633?origin=category&#038;cm_ven=Linkshare&#038;cm_cat=partner&#038;cm_pla=10&#038;cm_ite=1&#038;siteId=J84DHJLQkR4-8wcWUp7w_.9ltX3pGQSonA" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ta.....tX3pGQSonA</a></p> <p>or these...wedgetastic</p> <p><a href="http://www.shopbop.com/dalton-platform-wedge-bootie-sam/vp/v=1/845524441947933.htm?folderID=2534374302024643&#038;colorId=12867&#038;extid=affprg-2178999" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/dalton-.....rg-2178999</a></p> <p>return those uncomfy shoes already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-really-need-burgundy-bootbooties#post-748035 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 22:27:36 +0000 Mo 748035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Need? I'd go look at the shoe shelf and take in the glory and then ask yourself once more That said, I like the idea of burgundy or oxblood shoes. Maybe an oxford or wedge sneaker if boots won't cut it? I also have a crazy high instep, and an extra bone under each ankle to boot (ha ha boot), so I feel your pain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-really-need-burgundy-bootbooties#post-748016 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 22:06:00 +0000 moira 748016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If they hurt, NO! But, but, but I have burgundy booties (Nordstrom's own label, faux suede) that I have been wearing for 4 years and I LOVE them. They really add pop to a bland jeans and T shirt outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-really-need-burgundy-bootbooties#post-748008 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 22:00:59 +0000 annagybe 748008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought the Donald J Pliner burgundy boots at NAS. But they're extremely difficult to put on due to my high instep. Today I struggled for about five minutes before giving up. I'm going to return them. I think they would have looked good with my outfit today, but I think what I wore also looks fine.<br /> I have various black ankle boots and booties, and various shades of taupe and tan. Now I'm thinking I can get away with my existing collection. </p>
