I had a lot of trouble getting the left one on due to my high instep. I'm hoping they'll stretch with wear. My high insteps prevent me from wearing a lot of shoes. For example I couldn't even get the Frye Veronica slouchs (it was an awesome ombre dye) on, and that was even after a stretching session. One of the reason I spend big bucks on footwear. There's a lot out there that I just can't wear or get on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-684664 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 01:47:12 +0000 rae 684664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did. The color is a bit brighter and more red than my burgundy boots. Sometimes bright suede reads almost like velvet to me, which puts me off, but these still velt rugged and cool. I enjoyed the way they could either be worn up or down as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-684662 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 01:43:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 684662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How did I miss this earlier??? I love these Rae - the colour and the style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-684661 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 01:41:30 +0000 catgirl 684661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, since i have a short, wide foot maybe they'd work for me. They look fab on Jeneva! I should have known you had tried them out. Did you love them other than the fit issues? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-684657 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 01:39:04 +0000 rae 684657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I tried those Donald Pliners on - I wanted them badly! But they felt strangely wide and loose on me, even a full size down. And by that point I had to sweat and tug to get my foot in. Not for a long, narrow foot I guess. :T</p> <p>Jenava got them and <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-wib---a-sunray-skirt-and-more-red-boots-from-nas">they look wonderful on her</a>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-684594 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 00:15:21 +0000 catgirl 684594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sylvie, I have those Frye Janes in cognac and they don't get nearly enough wear. I actually prefer the Timberlands Rae got! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-684591 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 00:14:11 +0000 catgirl 684591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are fab, Rae.</p> <p>I am drooling over these - did anyone get them at NAS?</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/donald-j-pliner-danee-boot/3329104?origin=keywordsearch&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/do.....sultback=0</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-684529 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 22:43:55 +0000 Angie 684529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Timberland makes a comfy and well made shoe so it's no wonder that these are fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-684310 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 17:08:07 +0000 Jem 684310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, those are a gorgeous color! They look great on you, too! I'm sure those will be fine with a bit of stretching. You don't want them to wind up too lose all over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-684299 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 16:49:29 +0000 rae 684299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sylvie, I wanted to try those ones, too! But based on what I can resell my old boots for, the Timberlands were more in line with the budget. They are very nice, thick leather and feel just as high-quality as my Fryes, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-684298 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 16:46:19 +0000 Diana 684298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, gorgeous color! Re: the toe rubbing thing - I've had boots where that issue goes away after breaking in, but others where it never became comfortable even after many wears, so I am a little leery of it. I do have super fussy feet though. I prefer to size up and add inserts and thick socks anyway for extra comfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-684293 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 16:34:06 +0000 Mo 684293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I would not size up for fear of sliding around. It's hard to see the heel differences in the pics, but I could only imagine a 5" heel would be a sitting shoe! I agree that 3" can be very walkable if they're stacked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-684291 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 16:30:28 +0000 Sylvie 684291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! I agree that stretching them seems like the best idea. Leather shoes do conform to your feet over time anyway. Yours are very similar to this pair of plum Frye boots I've had my eye on. I like the streamlined look of yours much better than the hardware on these.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/FRYE-Womens-Jane-Boot-Black/dp/B001W6RO3M" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/FRYE-Wom.....B001W6RO3M</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-684281 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 16:10:34 +0000 Lavinia 684281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful boots, rae! I had my winter boots stretched last year and it made a world of difference regarding the comfort factor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-684207 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 15:13:44 +0000 Jonesy 684207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From what I can see, it looks like they fit great and the color is beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-684206 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 15:12:53 +0000 MNsara 684206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely boots! I'm back to appreciating clean styling of leather boots again, too!</p> <p>If you size up, you'll probably have all sorts of foot movement inside when you walk. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-684176 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 14:56:35 +0000 biscuitsmom 684176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-684104 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 13:57:51 +0000 rae 684104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bigger size would definitely fix the toe; it is so slight. I'm afraid it would cause other issues, especially since the other foot is fine. </p> <p>Jen, I like the idea of having them stretched - just a little more width in one spot would do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-684097 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 13:52:34 +0000 nancylee 684097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I really love these for you, Rae. I think I'd keep this size and see if they stretch a little with time. If not, you can always have them stretched a little. </p> <p>So glad you found a pair to your liking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-684005 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 11:26:25 +0000 Anonymous 684005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them Rae!<br /> Do you think sizing up would resolve the toe issue? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-683992 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 09:58:13 +0000 jen 683992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just have them stretched at the boot maker and they will be good to go </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-683991 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 09:24:36 +0000 Astrid 683991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look very nice! Can you try the bigger size for comparison, or is it too much trouble? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-683988 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 08:22:52 +0000 rute 683988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! I would not go a size up! Good leather shoes always losen up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-i-found-my-burgundy-boots#post-683960 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 06:15:11 +0000 rae 683960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 are the OLD ones - 5" office-sitting shoes that I am reselling. </p> <p>#2 are Timberland Rudstons in burgundy. 3" heels, the same as my Report Marks, which I can and have walked all day in. I daresay even more comfy than that because of a bouncy, cushioned footbed and rubber soles. Also waterproof out of the box. Less bells &amp; whistles, but I think I like the classic style better all in all.</p> <p>I am just trying to decide if I should go up to a 9... one toe brushes the side of the boot when I walk. However, a couple reviews said that the boots that were more tried on in the store felt much larger, so I'm thinking they'll losen up. A too big boot is just as uncomfortable as a tight one to me because of all the sliding. </p> <p>I threw on some random things for the photo. Thoughts? </p>
