I really like these but only folded down, they have too much room in the calf when folded all the way up. I really like this style for you, perfect choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy/page/2#post-305959 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 12:50:27 +0000 Lynne 305959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>excellent - I would have been sad if you'd let them go </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy/page/2#post-305955 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 12:36:23 +0000 Carole 305955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late to the party, but just wanted to say that I love your boots-I'm never sure about calf fit and width and all of that, so glad that Angie came to the rescue! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy/page/2#post-305840 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 03:26:50 +0000 MsMary 305840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late, but I'm so glad you're keeping them!

But I have to also chime in about the boots because I think they look FAB folded over. Keep them! I think Kyle has a pair of OTK boots that work with her thin calves (someone correct me if I am wrong). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-305459 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 19:11:06 +0000 Lynne 305459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, Malina, you got a SUPER deal! I vote keep and wear folded. And watch for a slimmer cut pair for knee high. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-305026 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 19:56:56 +0000 Scarlet 305026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just checked the photos again. If you don't keep these I am going to be mad at you!<br /> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-304913 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 17:49:19 +0000 Anonymous 304913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these are ok worn both ways and will be even better worn full length when get slouchier. The color is just perfect with both your skin tone and hair. I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-304897 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 16:33:25 +0000 Mellllls 304897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i too don't have boots that do double, both pants and skirts. it's a difficult thing to find... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-304875 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 15:35:32 +0000 Mo 304875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lynne, these are the exact ones Rae linke to! I just got a great deal My calves are 12 1/2" on a good week so it's just what I run into. As Denise pointed out, some of us have never had a snug boot and just make do best we can.<br /> Aida, I thought of that originally when I ordered them but am thinking with the zipper it isn't going to lay right. The boots are upstairs and I'm down so in my condition it will be a while before I crawl back up to find out ;)<br /> I did take some quick measurements yesterday evening though - around opening when folded over is 13" and around the unfolded opening is 15 1/2". About halfway in between the two is 15". So for anyone with the more average calf I'd advise grabbing some off Amazon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-304820 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 09:42:03 +0000 Lynne 304820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Malina, is it worth trying the Miss Mooz boots that Rae linked to? They are much more expensive, but if they do double duty might be better than 2 pairs??? What would you think about ordering for comparison? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-304790 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 06:01:01 +0000 Aida 304790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! I like the slouchier fit, especially folded+pants. How do they look folded halfway over instead of all the way as you have them here? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-304728 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 01:05:12 +0000 Mo 304728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting to see some votes now swinging the other way. In all honestly, at this point I'm likely to keep them as foldovers, with the secret hope that I can try a few AT the knee (as opposed to OVER hee hee) looks. I really don't mind the height, it's the width I've gotten paranoid over. Maybe too paranoid, as we touched on in the heresy boot thread. The scrunchy possibility is a thought. I've never had slouchy boots before! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-304717 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 00:19:24 +0000 rae 304717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, a quick search on Google showed me these pictures, which suggest the boots do slouch - this might help the height issue sarah mentioned as well as the calf fit issue, as slouchy boots get more leeway.<br /> <a href="http://www.shoesmitten.com/2010/10/holiday-must-have-miz-mooz-gayle-is-two-boots-in-one/" rel="nofollow">http://www.shoesmitten.com/201.....ts-in-one/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-304701 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 23:56:32 +0000 catgirl 304701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, Mo, I agree wtih Taylor - they may be better when you can stand properly and wear them as you intend. So I'm a wait and see, if you can still return them later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-304697 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 23:54:44 +0000 chewyspaghetti 304697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just too much of a gap for me. Too bad- they are cute boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-304695 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 23:54:27 +0000 taylor 304695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am Ii going to be the only one that loves them both folded and unfolded. They look almost OTK unfolded and with skinnys they will look FAB both folded and unfolded! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-304692 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 23:52:41 +0000 Heather 304692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Due to the walker pictured in this post, I am sending you even more positive, healing thoughts! Jeez! That was some injury!</p> <p>I vote keep for the folded boot look only. They are killer and very cool on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-304689 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 23:48:13 +0000 catgirl 304689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, they look too tall to me unfolded. They are a beautiful color on you (I never even thought about boot color and hair before YLF). If they were a bit taller they could be OTK boots, but they seem to fall between that and knee-high. </p> <p>I love them folded down, but I think your hope was that they'd be dual-purpose, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-304688 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 23:47:39 +0000 Scarlet 304688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my word, I love these! If they are soft then they will be a little slouchy, and then the extra width is not such a problem. They look completely fine until you hold them with your hand, anyway. Please give them so more consideration and check out April's recent thread about boot heresy.</p> <p>ETA: Also, virtually none of my boots work for pants and dresses except for the slouchy ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-304684 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 23:43:19 +0000 Jonesy 304684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, I think I vote nay. But I loove the color of these with your hair--you must keep searching for the perfect pair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-304587 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 21:42:28 +0000 Mo 304587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, I was planning on pants 90% of the time but if they won't work for skirts at all, that's okay. I kind of wasn't kidding about the thick socks to take up some of the slack! I also don't mind the mid knee height (as I commented, when I ordered them, on being almost OTK for me).<br /> I have found stiff boots in this size hold up on their own and are okay. I just worry that these softer ones will slide down slowly into a scrunchy puddle around my ankles lol.<br /> I just don't know.<br /> Thanks for another slim calf insight, though! ;)</p> <p>And Laura, LOL on my walker chic look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-304584 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 21:36:17 +0000 CocoLion 304584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't be so quick to return. I like boots higher up and it's the style now (so I'm disagreeing with Sarah on that one). I have slim calves as well and I have NEVER found a pair that fit properly, except a pair of stretch fabric ones I own. Do they even make boots for slim calves? I think they look great, I would keep. The fact that you weren't able to really style them I think is affecting how they look right now.</p> <p>Were you planning on wearing them with pants mostly or dresses/skirts? This would also affect my decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-304574 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 21:26:29 +0000 Mo 304574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh - I guess the endless boot hunt continues. But QM has a good point that maybe I can't ever get the 2 in 1 look with my calf size. With that in mind, I may have to debate whether it's worth wearing these only as foldovers. At $78 I could justify keeping these and looking for separate dedicated knee high's. Thanks for confirming what I desperately didn't want to believe everyone. lol (Or I could wear thick tube socks with all my skinnies hee hee) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-304541 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 20:45:59 +0000 Zoe B. 304541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful boots but they are too wide at the top. You deserve a pair of killer boots that will work with pants and skirts. Remember what Angie says--better to have one amazing pair than several mediocre ones. Hold out and I'm sure you'll find the perfect pair during the sales this time of year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-304530 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 20:20:40 +0000 Laura B. 304530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with everyone else. You're the only person I know that can pull off the walker look too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-cognac-boots-pic-heavy#post-304519 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 20:10:09 +0000 carrie 304519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're fantastic folded over! Unfolded they're just okay - you could probably do better. </p>
