I don't often wear heels due to life style. I work from home and take my kids to sports stuff. Sometimes I go out but it is still super casual.<br />I am thinking of ordering the Petty in putty if I can find a pair in Canada that can be returned if they don't fit.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/filling-the-boot-hole--thoughts-on-these#post-1025737 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 12:53:14 +0000 AnnieMouse 1025737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have sero idea what your budget range is, or how you typically dress, so I'm stabbing in the dark based on your last post :)</p> <p>Ankle boot options:<br /> Something like this:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/gentle-souls-best-of-boot/3512846?origin=category&#038;BaseUrl=Comfort" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/ge.....rl=Comfort</a></p> <p>Or this:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/born-mabel-bootie/3494374?origin=category&#038;BaseUrl=Comfort" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/bo.....rl=Comfort</a></p> <p>Chelsea style:<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/aigle-jodhpur-black?zfcTest=fcl%3A0" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/aigle-jo.....st=fcl%3A0</a></p> <p>Some tall boots (since I keep harping on them):<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/naughty-monkey-harmony-boot/3594749?origin=category&#038;BaseUrl=Boots" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/na.....eUrl=Boots</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/pink-pepper-razor-taupe?zfcTest=fcl%3A0" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/pink-pep.....st=fcl%3A0</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/steve-madden-creation-tan-leather?zfcTest=fcl%3A0" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/steve-ma.....st=fcl%3A0</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/filling-the-boot-hole--thoughts-on-these#post-1025728 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 12:45:11 +0000 AnnieMouse 1025728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you wear heels? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/filling-the-boot-hole--thoughts-on-these#post-1025485 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 02:18:18 +0000 Glory 1025485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I need someone to tell me what to buy and where...:)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/filling-the-boot-hole--thoughts-on-these#post-1025460 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 01:58:42 +0000 Suz 1025460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them! But I agree they would be pretty casual.&nbsp;</p> <p>One boot can't do it all, alas. It's really true. Despite the fact that for YEARS I made my simple black chisel toe Blundstones do it all. Well, I never wore them with a dressy dress. But with everything else. I didn't look fab, but my feet were pretty happy.&nbsp;</p> <p>Then again, they are a Chelsea boot and Chelsea boots are my all time favourite footwear. I could have ten pairs of Chelsea boots in different levels of ruggedness and refine and I would still not think I had too many.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/filling-the-boot-hole--thoughts-on-these#post-1025395 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 00:43:53 +0000 Lisa 1025395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a black Rockport pair that is similar in style to these and find the work great with skinnies and ponte pants.&nbsp; But the skinnies must be tight at the calves because this style of boot doesn't have much wiggle room for extra fabric.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/filling-the-boot-hole--thoughts-on-these#post-1025314 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 23:19:18 +0000 catgirl 1025314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is no way one pair can meet all needs. I could survive with two pairs given my colors and style - the Gidigios (tall, buckled, with skinnies and skirts) and the DV Joust (versatile simple black ankle boot under pants or with skirts). But of course, I prefer a boot for every outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/filling-the-boot-hole--thoughts-on-these#post-1025308 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 23:13:41 +0000 Glory 1025308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So maybe one pair of boots doesn't need to be all things - I think that is what I am reading.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am clearly lost...I have tossed the black ankle scrunch boots and the blue faux leather ones from last week.</p> <p>Why? I hated the faux leather even though they are fairly new my feet got so wet in them.&nbsp;<br />The ankle boots really made me feel frumpy.</p> <p>How does one figure it all out....</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/filling-the-boot-hole--thoughts-on-these#post-1025306 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 23:08:56 +0000 Krista 1025306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, Glory, I was looking at these exact boots yesterday!<br /> I was thinking of these specifically for casual purposes with skinny jeans. They are a nice boot and the leather is also really soft but I'm not sure how versatile they are. I echo the others who have suggested the Chelsea boot - maybe to check those out first? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/filling-the-boot-hole--thoughts-on-these#post-1025284 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 22:49:14 +0000 Caro in Oz 1025284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these but they are very casual imo. If&nbsp;you wanted something that was more versatile then I think the Chelsea boot would be better. If you can have both then </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/filling-the-boot-hole--thoughts-on-these#post-1025272 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 22:37:03 +0000 catgirl 1025272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are cute... I can see them girled up (Diana) or tough UWP. But what is your style? Do you have a Pinterest board? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/filling-the-boot-hole--thoughts-on-these#post-1025242 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 21:57:05 +0000 Raisin 1025242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them! &nbsp;I think you could have these for casual looks, and a nice, refined pair for more dressy looks. &nbsp;Room for all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/filling-the-boot-hole--thoughts-on-these#post-1025239 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 21:46:06 +0000 suzyq 1025239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love em but I'm a casual, comfort based dresser. &nbsp;I want to be able to stop at the trails with the dogs on the way home from the store.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />They may not be polished but I view them as fairly traditional for what they are. Kind of a modified stable/ riding boot but not rustic enough to be gear. &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;It's really hard to figure out your personal descriptor. What do you reach for when you want to feel good or at least secure&nbsp;for any given occasion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/filling-the-boot-hole--thoughts-on-these#post-1025219 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 21:03:14 +0000 Diana 1025219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're beautiful.&nbsp; I would totally wear them with pants (over skinny and under wider legs) and with skirts..&nbsp; To me, they have a Victorian/steampunk kind of vibe, very much up my alley.&nbsp; I think even when they are not trendy, this kind of style reads as retro rather than dated. &nbsp; </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/filling-the-boot-hole--thoughts-on-these#post-1025205 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 20:39:45 +0000 AnnieMouse 1025205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Based on the pics you posted last week (I think?), these are really in keeping with your overall vibe with your ankle boots :)</p> <p>I do still think that some lighter, taller boots would be a good addition, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/filling-the-boot-hole--thoughts-on-these#post-1025204 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 20:39:34 +0000 jayne 1025204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thy certainly have the right look for skinny jeans.&nbsp; They look super fun and I would easily see them styled with a plaid type shirt.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/filling-the-boot-hole--thoughts-on-these#post-1025179 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 20:20:19 +0000 Thistle 1025179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is a chelsea boot? Have you looked at the Sam Edelman Petty's? Comfy yet still fit for a prince.&nbsp; I can also recommend Ecco boots. I have those too, and so comfy but with a bit of polish.</p> <p>Suz might have more ideas as she also works from home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/filling-the-boot-hole--thoughts-on-these#post-1025177 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 20:19:00 +0000 amiable 1025177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - Amazon has them, and with that amazon code that Una posted.... &nbsp;</p> <p>I'm officially tempted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/filling-the-boot-hole--thoughts-on-these#post-1025175 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 20:17:44 +0000 Glory 1025175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle that is exactly the problem. I have no clue what I lean towards. I am all over the map. I have tried endlessly to figure it out, identify the descriptors but just haven't been successful.<br />I work at home but still want to dress nicely - so very casual. I don't want to appear that I am trying too hard, if that makes sense. Or appear that I am dressing too youthful for my age.<br />Maybe I should look at a chelsea boot.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/filling-the-boot-hole--thoughts-on-these#post-1025173 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 20:15:25 +0000 Thistle 1025173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not very familiar with your wardrobe. I do know that the shoe trend is going toward more refined. But fabbers like Ceit with a very defined tomboy style would still do so well with these.</p> <p>Are you leaning towards more princely? Knightly? or perhaps wizardy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/filling-the-boot-hole--thoughts-on-these#post-1025169 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 20:12:47 +0000 Glory 1025169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, I tried these ones on today. They are leather and are a mottled bronze/black colour which doesn't show well on the picture. Very comfortable.<br />Do you think the height would work well with skinny jeans and ponte pants?<br />I am very torn on boots whether to get something like this or something a bit more refined.&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.aldoshoes.com/ca-eng/women/boots/flat-boots/97703393-generoa/92">http://www.aldoshoes.com/ca-en.....generoa/92</a> </p>
