They are unusually snug in my regular size. I thought it might have been due to a long, hot day of shopping but they still are tight. I will stalk the next size up, but they appear to be sold out now. Hope this helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-reviews-and-observations#post-2044041 Tue, 16 Jul 2019 14:47:41 +0000 Elizabeth P 2044041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And another enabler!&nbsp; Love the plaid boots, and the snakeskin Blondos.&nbsp; Did you try calling the Canadian Nordis to see the price/availability etc for those, here?&nbsp; I might get those myself </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-reviews-and-observations#post-2043549 Mon, 15 Jul 2019 14:25:03 +0000 Angie 2043549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOOOHOOO.

But Angie said she would be recommending quite a few. I’m not sure if the Louise and Cie is on her list. Sorry I can’t help more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-reviews-and-observations#post-2043425 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 22:31:44 +0000 Briar 2043425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, did you or Angie try the Louise ET Cie loafer? I’m really interested in the animal print but they would need to fit a medium wide foot. I am a 6 but when shoes are on the narrower side, I have to go to 6.5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-reviews-and-observations#post-2043403 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 21:10:59 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2043403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Staysfit, hooray for going your own way!

I envy your restraint, Suz, and how the pieces you but behind instant workhorses. It's all that carefully decision making! I love to see what you got and didn't get and why. Thank you for taking the time to write this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-reviews-and-observations#post-2043380 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 19:53:54 +0000 Staysfit 2043380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a long and difficult debate over the PG red plaid print boots! In the end I decided against them. I know most people have good luck with PG. For whatever reason, I do not. I am not sure why, but the fit is not quite right most of the time and then the shoes sit idle in my closet. I ordered some turquoise cowboy boots instead! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-reviews-and-observations#post-2043374 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 19:22:42 +0000 Suz 2043374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay. Votes are in. I'm going to check if they have my size. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>And <b>BIJOU YOU NEED THOSE BOOTS!!!&nbsp;</p> <p></b><b>Staysfit, </b>you need them too. It is black, not olive, in the plaid.

My most favourite brand of footwear and they do a boot like Dr Martens in red! I am in trouble and will have to hand over the credit cards to DH. Every year there is just that one special something at NAS that tempts me like no other, these boots are it.</p> <p>I hope you get the snakeskin too, I think the enablers are over 10 now, do you need any more encouragement? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-reviews-and-observations#post-2043279 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 12:17:48 +0000 nemosmom 2043279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for a great review, Suz!

It’s probably black right? I need to do something about my screens! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-reviews-and-observations#post-2043232 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 09:47:35 +0000 Style Fan 2043232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the red plaid Paul Green combat boots.&nbsp; Fantastic.&nbsp; I am a diehard Doc Martens/Combat Boot fan.&nbsp; Snakeskin would be great with your hair and seems to be trending.&nbsp; The style of boot works so well for you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-reviews-and-observations#post-2043228 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 09:40:18 +0000 Jaime 2043228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love snake print boots, especially with "our" hair.

I have a complete NAS outfit (minus the top) -- new jeans, new boots, new jacket. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I will also wear them with just about everything else. A red boot or shoe can be a complete winner in my closet. I am the kid who coined the phrase "red is best."&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-reviews-and-observations#post-2043143 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 01:11:14 +0000 Angie 2043143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Suz! Lots of top picks here. </p> <p>The tartan boots are KILLER to the Power of KILLER. Will you wear them with the new plaid jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-reviews-and-observations#post-2043127 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 00:24:32 +0000 Suz 2043127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha, maybe I need seven enablers to send me back to the store. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I bought black Elvinas last fall. Some reviewers said they fit small -- I did take the larger of my 2 sizes. (I'm an EU 37, a US 6.5 or 7 -- for the Blondos I took size 7, also because I sometimes wear with a bulkier sock.)&nbsp;</p> <p>I bought my black pair in late September. I wore them almost every day from date of purchase until our trip to Arizona in late Oct. / early November, and when I saw they also came in taupe suede and were on sale, I pounced. I then proceeded to wear those even more than the black version. They are just about the perfect heel height/ slope for my foot.&nbsp;</p> <p>I had no problems with the sole. Not sure what people might have meant. They also performed as advertised (i.e. they were waterproof -- I live in Vancouver, you know?)&nbsp;</p> <p>These boots might be a touch narrow at the toe for some. It will depend on the shape of your foot. For me, they have enough width where I need it in the forefoot, and are long enough to fit my toes without squeezing. However, I have very short toes and my second toe is smaller than my big toe -- my toes go down evenly in size to my baby toe -- which means that pointy toes generally work if they are not too extreme. The only fit issue I have with these are the same fit issue I have with every pair of closed footwear -- my heel is loose in them and rubs. I solve that with socks. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-reviews-and-observations#post-2043118 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 00:05:31 +0000 Barbara Diane 2043118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Snake print boots! Snake print boots! Perfection with your hair. They will always be good.<br />In addition to the fun plaid ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-reviews-and-observations#post-2043113 Sat, 13 Jul 2019 23:57:39 +0000 Anonymous 2043113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another enabler reporting on-line . I want them too! Sort of fear the potential clunkiness or heaviness but will consider ordering a pair for myself based on how much you like them . And I apologize for misidentifying the Paul Greens as Docs in your other post . They look great on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-reviews-and-observations#post-2043109 Sat, 13 Jul 2019 23:46:36 +0000 Gretchen 2043109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, did you have any issues with the sole on your Elvinas? There are several negative reviews on the Nordstrom site, which is why I held off on purchasing. Wondering if maybe there was a quality issue last year? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-reviews-and-observations#post-2043108 Sat, 13 Jul 2019 23:28:31 +0000 JAileen 2043108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m glad you got the red combat boots. They will be great for your style. Re the Blondos: that’s good to hear that the Elvinas are good boots. I ordered four different snake print shoes, the Elvina being one of them. I was surprised Angie said they were a top pick since they weren’t even in NAS. I like the general look of them best among the shoes I ordered, but will have to decide which feels best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-reviews-and-observations#post-2043105 Sat, 13 Jul 2019 23:23:08 +0000 Carla 2043105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You demonstrated considerable restraint, Suz. The plaid combat boots are going to be SO MUCH FUN this F/W. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-reviews-and-observations#post-2043104 Sat, 13 Jul 2019 23:22:47 +0000 Kathie 2043104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely get the Blondos! Especially as there’s no guarantee that the coat and blazer will come back in stock. </p>
