They are simple enough to go with just about everything and will do the really important things like keeping your feet dry and warm and comfortable. Now you're ready for winter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-bought-some-boots-kr#post-764243 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 23:20:18 +0000 Astrid 764243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think gear boots that look like this are rare. So that's definitely a great find! I love the tall Duo boots I pinned, but they don't do their boots in wide widths, only the booties and shoes. The only thing you can change up with the boots is the circumference of the calves. Of course that doesn't have to mean that they are too narrow, but it could be. And they are fairly high too... </p> <p>(I'm talking about this pair, if someone is interested: <a href="http://www.duoboots.com/de/damenstiefel/graues-nubukleder/marcelle/d/" rel="nofollow">http://www.duoboots.com/de/dam.....arcelle/d/</a>) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-bought-some-boots-kr#post-764224 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 22:56:13 +0000 Aida 764224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*nodnod* Astrid that makes sense, and wet feet are unhappy feet! I think these boots do fit within your current style, and hey if you can find gear boots as cute as this then that's a big win in my book. If you have a long rainy season (sounds like you do), then there's always room for another pair of more rugged boots if they happen to come along. I understand your boot frustration, I've had a hard time this year too &gt;&lt; Several forum members have had good luck with Duo, maybe post and ask about them? The pair you linked look great! So does the tall pair you recently pinned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-bought-some-boots-kr#post-763647 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 12:48:31 +0000 Astrid 763647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz! And you're right, I'm definitely going to keep these. And I'm going to keep looking, maybe I'll even find something on sale, like you said. But it's more important to have dry and warm feet with all the rainy weather and my lifestyle. And my old black boots started getting a bit clammy at the end of last winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-bought-some-boots-kr#post-763642 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 12:33:41 +0000 Suz 763642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, I would certainly keep these. They are perfect for your casual looks. It is possible that a great dressier pair will also come along, perhaps even on sale later in the season. In the meantime, you will have boots that take you through the wet cold in good style and comfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-bought-some-boots-kr#post-763637 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 12:27:10 +0000 Astrid 763637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everybody! :)</p> <p>@Day Vies<br /> They aren't uncomfortable at all! Super comfortable in fact. Love your boots, especially the Timberlands! </p> <p>@Aida<br /> Thanks for your input, Aida! I get what you mean - I agree that something more rugged, like in my Pinterest bords, would fit my style better. These are definitely a bit of a departure! But I've tried on so many boots already it isn't funny and this was the first pair that really fit perfectly, in addition to being waterproof. I like that these are so practical, that way I won't have to wear my hiking boots at all this winter. I really tried on many boots (also the Timberlands Day Vies linked to for example), but none of them were as comfortable, they just didn't fit right when it came down to it. I will keep looking though! I definitely want another pair that is a bit dressier. I thought about maybe trying Duo Boots booties, because they have wide widths, but I was hesitating because of the price.

I'd have expected (and would prefer) something more rugged rather than sporty, like the second link Day Vies posted of the Timberlands. But they are cute boots, and I think they'd integrate easily into your wardrobe. Clearly I am in the minority on that, though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-bought-some-boots-kr#post-763283 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 23:55:07 +0000 Day Vies 763283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KEEP! I am biased I admit it these look like 2 pairs of my own boots got together and had a child (a pair of waterproof Merrell's and Timberlands). I LOVE your boots. They look so cute with your jeans and turtleneck. They are sporty but I think that gives extra pop to casual styles. Unless they chafe or are uncomfortable I see no reason to send them back -- especially so since attractive waterproof casual boots are a beautiful thing on a cold,rainy, and sloppy day. </p> <p>Here are the visuals of the boots I mentioned:</p> <p>I have these in black:<br /> <a href="http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=293793002" rel="nofollow">http://piperlime.gap.com/brows.....=293793002</a></p> <p>I have these in black too:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Timberland-Womens-Bethel-Mid-Lace/dp/B006ZIT6QA" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Timberla.....B006ZIT6QA</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-bought-some-boots-kr#post-763194 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 22:28:45 +0000 rae 763194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with everyone else.

Yes, you're right. These ones definitely aren't for an imaginary lifestyle, they are just the thing for our weather and the amount of walking I'm doing everyday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-bought-some-boots-kr#post-763008 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:16:24 +0000 Parsley 763008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think those boots are great, Astrid, and the fact that they're weatherproof is a huge point in their favor.<br /> I think they'll look good with your skirts as well as with jeans.<br /> Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-bought-some-boots-kr#post-763007 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:16:11 +0000 Astrid 763007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for reassuring me, Angie! I'm so glad you think they work for me. They are soo comfortable it's ridiculous, so I would probably have kept them in any case, but it's good to hear that they also work stylewise!</p> <p>Thanks Texstyle! I think my mum will love these boots, she's always telling me I should buy more practical shoes. No chance of getting wet feet in these. ;)</p> <p>Thanks Kelly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-bought-some-boots-kr#post-763004 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:11:12 +0000 kellygirl 763004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfecto!

LOVE them for you and if it were colder here I'd probably go try them on myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-bought-some-boots-kr#post-762996 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:06:55 +0000 Angie 762996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw those boots a few days ago! </p> <p>KILLER</p> <p>Wow! </p> <p>For you - they are perfect, and not too sporty at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-bought-some-boots-kr#post-762995 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:03:05 +0000 Astrid 762995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went to an Ecco and Clarks shop this evening to try the Ecco booties one more time with the thick wool socks I normally wear in winter. They were too narrow, but I thought I could try some other styles. And I went home with a pair of boots! </p> <p>I wouldn't have looked twice at them in between the range, but the SA told me I should try them after she saw me struggling with one shoe after the other (they were all too narrow). I wasn't enarmoured, especially because the size on the shelf was black leather (like in pic #5) and I didn't want another pair of black boots. But then she brought my size and these were actually dark grey! </p> <p>They are very comfortable and wide enough for my feet without being too long, it's a perfect fit! They are also waterproof (Gore-Tex) and the soles look like they have some grip. I think I could wear these even in snow and ice and they were comfortable both with normal and wool socks. They also work over both tights and skinnies!</p> <p>The only reason why I wasn't jumping for joy was that these are a lot more 'sporty' than what I would normally buy. They aren't exactly super fashionable IMO, but they are practical. Are they too sporty? And do you think they would work with all my skirts, especially this black one and the two new plaids? </p> <p>I could also keep these for more sporty/casual looks and really bad weather/a lot of walking, but they were expensive. I could only afford another pair of dressier winter shoes if my coat doesn't end up being super expensive. </p> <p>Oh, the pictures are all unstyled and overexposed so that you can see the details better.</p> <p>(Btw, the white bag arrived and will go back. It's much bigger than I thought, a blinding true white and the drop of the handle doesn't work for me. So that's more money to spend on other things. And the last LE order with the other coats arrived too, my neighbour has it. Now he only has to come home!) </p>
