Rockport has been having some nice shoes lately, it seems. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-this-boot-worth-to-me#post-763431 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 02:42:03 +0000 rae 763431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wise words...ok, if the Ebay seller declines my offer, I'm definitely getting them full price at another site. Thanks, everyone!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-this-boot-worth-to-me#post-763424 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 02:33:02 +0000 deb 763424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie is so right! They are definitely your style and by spending so many hours in them on a hard floor, maybe your should consider price per minute. I know construction folks pay alot for their work shoes because it is their livelyhood. Another consideration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-this-boot-worth-to-me#post-763407 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 02:08:32 +0000 Julie 763407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, you try and pinch pennies on work footwear, and the boots will pinch you back..</p> <p>Julie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-this-boot-worth-to-me#post-763130 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 21:05:50 +0000 Ariadne 763130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great boots! I hope you get them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-this-boot-worth-to-me#post-763103 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:32:00 +0000 rae 763103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, the quality sounds like it's pretty rock solid... I made a Best Offer on Ebay for $60 more than this size. Will see what happens. If it is declined, I will have to consider the higher price. Would only pay the full price on Amazon etc. though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-this-boot-worth-to-me#post-763098 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:28:34 +0000 rachylou 763098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, the last time I had Rockports was 20+ years ago, but the quality was excellent... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-this-boot-worth-to-me#post-763077 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:10:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 763077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a pair of Rockport Mary-Jane's that I wore and wore and wore and....well, you get the picture. The quality is definitely there, these fit your style, and now with your retail position, comfortable footwear is a must. I think the $90 is worth it for happy feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-this-boot-worth-to-me#post-763075 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:08:45 +0000 Astrid 763075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know the brand, but I love these boots! I'm all for happy feet, so I wouldn't compromise on fit. If you think they'd make the perfect work boots I'd get them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-this-boot-worth-to-me#post-763074 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:06:46 +0000 catgirl 763074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you know the overall style works, and Rockports are generally comfy, so that seems worth $90 to me, though it's frustrating that a 1/2 size makes such a difference in price! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-this-boot-worth-to-me#post-763070 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:02:54 +0000 rae 763070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, they are similar, but in brown with a full inch less heel height. They would be my Work Boots for sure. Something that is still stylish and my style, goes with everything, and will make my feet happy. Tall order, eh? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-this-boot-worth-to-me#post-763065 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:58:34 +0000 catgirl 763065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Rockports lasted until they disintegrated from 5 years of hard wear. I think they were paying me by the end. These do remind me of the Fryes you were wearing at the swap meet - are they similar? Are they brown? Would they be for work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-is-this-boot-worth-to-me#post-763060 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:55:34 +0000 rae 763060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Please excuse the gear - I wanted to try the boots after the feet were well-used). </p> <p>Rockport with Adidas technology. Super comfy. LOVE the distressing. Love the shaft width. Perfect heel height. Doesn't make my foot look big. I know I will wear the style with all my work clothes, because I would wear my similar, black Fryes in that way if they had a lower heel. </p> <p>The catch is that I need the 1/2 size up... and that size can only be found for $90 more. My toe baaaarely touches on the right foot, but seeing as how this is a purchase based in comfort, I shouldn't compromise on that front. </p> <p>If these were Frye, I'd pay the extra $ in a heartbeat, because I know they hold their value. These are every bit as good quality IMO - thick, sturdy leather and beautiful... they LOOK like Frye to me - but do you think they are worth it? I could wait and try to get Veronicas off Ebay for the same price, but then I'd have to commit without trying on and they have a different heel and width. Or I could keep searching altogether. </p> <p>I've already tried two pairs of Docs, a pair of Fidjis, and the Report Jude booties that did not work out. </p>
