It all makes sense to me. Good purchase! I especially love that they can lean brown or red--really useful. And I have the same problem with pants shrinking in length over time. If they are okay to wash and dry, I do so, and gradually a lot of those pairs do end up getting shorter--and getting worn with different footwear! I've also found if my weight fluctuates a little bit, but not enough to take a different size, pants can become shorter or longer, depending on how much space my hips are taking up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fell-for-fedora#post-1353473 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 02:52:01 +0000 Suz 1353473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great booties! I'm glad you got them. They look sophisticated and sleek and quite elegant as well as practical. Can't wait to see them in some outfits!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fell-for-fedora#post-1353460 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 02:27:22 +0000 Staysfit 1353460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was looking at the pair with the brass/gold zipper and trying to decide what color those are? It's hard to tell on my screen, because they look red also. Could that be? I really like them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fell-for-fedora#post-1353421 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 01:33:05 +0000 Anonymous 1353421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those boots! I definitely think there's something to be said for having different boots that work with different pants. Especially when having these means you'll be able to wear pants in cold weather that you wouldn't be able to otherwise.</p> <p>I'm actually idly considering those boots. Love the color and how they look refined but not fussy. The big concern would probably be whether the very noticeable silver zipper would make them less versatile for me, since I'd be wearing with dresses and skirts a lot (so it would be visible)&nbsp;and wear more gold than silver. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fell-for-fedora#post-1353350 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 23:53:13 +0000 unfrumped 1353350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lisap, I will try to post some pics. I was burning up just trying on enough things do make a decision.</p> <p>dianthus, you're right, it's a fun design feature , and&nbsp; I like the zipper, I just found it funny that I have to pay attention while zipping, because I'm used to just ripping up or down.<br />I haven't given up on skirts with them--will do some more tryon's.&nbsp;Black or&nbsp;dark gray&nbsp;tights are my winter skirt uniform and I also have burgundy and brown to try. I haven't tried all the possible stylings. One reason I am a bit sheepish is that I decided to keep these whether or not I wear with skirts, and I was <u>supposed</u> to be on a HEWI search for skirt-booties. But I found they extended&nbsp;my&nbsp;outfit options with&nbsp; &nbsp;so many&nbsp;of my &nbsp;pants that it would be okay either way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fell-for-fedora#post-1353344 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 23:49:10 +0000 jackiec 1353344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a gorgeous bootie and I'd love to see it on you! Seems like it will work really well for you - nice buy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fell-for-fedora#post-1353341 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 23:44:24 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1353341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is very interesting that you aren't keen on the angled zipper and I find it adds visual interest to the style. &nbsp;I think the bootie is really nice and the red should work as a pseudo neutral for you. &nbsp;If you wore a darker tight in winter, you might be able to wear them with skirts too. &nbsp;It would be a shame to limit their wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fell-for-fedora#post-1353337 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 23:37:37 +0000 Anonymous 1353337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - these are really nice. Sophisticated. &nbsp;Love the angle zip, and even the mol ded heel - which I normally dislike. I have all these same issues as you with trying to get pants to work with ankle boots, and have been so unsuccessful or unsatisfied that i just stopped wearing pants in the winter. I can see right away how the hem of a pant would slide smoothly over the boot and not get all caught up in it. Looking forward to seeing pics of these in action ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-fell-for-fedora#post-1353332 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 23:24:33 +0000 unfrumped 1353332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bootie, that is. No hat shots.</p> <p>So much for Austerity August. I thought I would give some info on this bootie if anyone else has been considering.</p> <p>I liked the look of the Everybody Fedora bootie because of the style and color. <br />Don't have try-on pics, but it is, as Angie said, comfy but still sleek (tapered but not pointy; I have to be careful falling for more pointy styles because ultimately they start to squish). I thought it might be less flower-potty,&nbsp; , but it does not really fit closely enough on my ankle to look great with skirts (for my bleary eye), though it's better than some. (I think i will not&nbsp;search for &nbsp;more ankle-boot/tights HEWI's but keep eye out for shootie styles or heeled loafer, etc)</p> <p>BUT the relatively close fit and sleek design of this bootie make it work great with&nbsp;quite a few&nbsp;of my <u>narrowe</u>r pants --"straight" trousers and slightly tapered styles--which were hanging up on some of my other ankle boots. Also, it's a bit lower heel than my other ankle boots, so amazingly I am getting pretty good PPL with some pants that&nbsp;were hemmed&nbsp;to scrunch with some&nbsp;loafers with 1/2-1" heel. So, to me it stretches the wear of those pants into fall and mild winter, with sweaters and such, and that feels good to me. ( Of course&nbsp;they &nbsp;also work with wider trousers).&nbsp; </p> <p>The benefit there is that&nbsp; &nbsp;those pants are all ready to go at "Fedora length". &nbsp;The second benefit is that I can go ahead and hem some straight winter-weight pants to this heel height and put into circulation. I am finding that the straighter pants don't really benefit from&nbsp;a lot of &nbsp;heel&nbsp;height&nbsp; &nbsp;the way a wider trouser does, for looks.(When worn out over&nbsp;the&nbsp;boot)<br />&nbsp;<br />The color is a good almost-color, almost-neutral to provide interest without saying, look at me.&nbsp;Really good with gray and false plains. &nbsp;It's a warmer dark red than I choose in tops, but is great for leather footwear. Can read as a red or a brown. Fun.</p> <p> I didn't really&nbsp;"need" the &nbsp;diagonal zipper, and to some extent it's annoying because when I'm in a hurry, I want to pull straight on it, and you have to pull in the diagonal direction. But that's a minor thing. Also one reviewer didn't like the heel, which is molded synthetic.&nbsp;I thought that might bother me, &nbsp;but it's a distinct heel, and it doesn't seem to be any kind of issue.</p> <p>As much as I try to hem pants for PPL's,&nbsp;&nbsp;I keep finding that over time, some pants "get shorter" even if I wash or dryclean before hemming. So I have some that used to work with a higher heel but now do not. Or, I have some pants hemmed for "flats" for warm weather and while&nbsp;my strategy is to &nbsp;just target some&nbsp;as summer pants, some others really are useful year-round and &nbsp;then I want to wear a boot. Or the boot vamp or material somehow affects how the pants fall over it.</p> <p>So instead of trying to have all boots the same heel height, or expect them to work with everything,&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm&nbsp;just going with the flow&nbsp;having&nbsp;these slight variations that work better with some pant lengths and hem widths. The Fedora's just seem to fill in a gap that way.</p> <p>That's my justification, anyway!</p> <p>ETA: Pic with AT "straight" gray pants and Vince sweater for first fall cool snap this week. You can see that a bootcut or wider pants will fall lower and cover more of boot for a longer leg look, but these scrunch over the boot okay for the pants style, I think.</p>
