I'm guessing it's meant to evoke progress in this case, as they are paying the cobblers a livable wage. (Also, it's been forever since I thought about Free to Be You and Me; thanks for the trip down memory lane!)</p> <p>Joy and Angie -- I like the low-heeled chelsea too. It would definitely get a lot of wear. That said, a lace-up boot with no zippers and a heel between 1.5-2" has been a HEWI for a long time. I like the blue, but would probably end up with red or brown for versatility, maybe black.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jenni -- that's funny that you find laces annoying. All but a few of my shoes are true lace-ups with no other closure. I find it very, very difficult to get a good fit without laces because I have (apparently!) a high instep. I love the look of chelseas but it's tough to find a good fit. Blundstones in a half size are perfect because they have a lot of volume. Adelante caught my eye because they offer A - EEE widths in all of their styles.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-tried-adelante-shoe-co#post-2159846 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 10:44:28 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2159846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How is the company name pronounced? I cannot read it without hearing Alan Alda telling about a race with young John from the village (from the fantastic classic Free to Be You and Me). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-tried-adelante-shoe-co#post-2159794 Mon, 14 Dec 2020 03:32:56 +0000 Anonymous 2159794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the blue. They have the lowest heel and are a rare color for a bootie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-tried-adelante-shoe-co#post-2159649 Sun, 13 Dec 2020 20:27:36 +0000 Angie 2159649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know the brand or company, but like the blue best too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-tried-adelante-shoe-co#post-2159637 Sun, 13 Dec 2020 19:53:27 +0000 Jenni NZ 2159637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue ones look the most practical- no annoying laces, and flatter heel.<br /> The heel on the red looks a little high to me but I love the looks of that red boot. I haven’t owned red boots for a few years now, and when I did I really enjoyed them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-tried-adelante-shoe-co#post-2159602 Sun, 13 Dec 2020 15:56:57 +0000 LaPed 2159602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://adelanteshoes.com/collections/womens-collection">Adelante Shoe Co</a>, a Massachusetts-based company (manufacturing in Guatemala) keeps coming up in my footwear browsing. I ended up returning the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://thursdayboots.com/products/womens-legend-chelsea-boot-olive?variant=32900620386394">olive chelsea boots</a> I tried last month (tight instep, very squeaky soles), so I am still on the lookout for some cool moderately stompy boots, either lace-up or chelsea style.&nbsp;</p> <p>Adelante offers customizable colours and sizing, which reminds me a little of Poppy Barley (although PB seems to be doing less and less made-to-order and offering a much wider range of styles in a more limited range of sizes these days). Also, a generous return policy, especially considering the degree of customization. I love the look of each and every style they offer. I appreciate that they're resoleable and seem to have good ethical credentials. Has anyone ordered from them? Comments on quality/sizing? Any opinions on the three styles below (Not necessarily those colours, just the shapes). I'm thinking my 2021 budget will have room for a pair of these.&nbsp; </p>
