Or is a dark shoe with contrasting stitching/pattern going to be worn with dark or light jeans?&nbsp; I tend to go with 'flat' (1" or less) heels, slip-on sneakers, oldfashioned velcro-fastened trainers.<br />&nbsp;I do find, that I tend to wear dark trousers/jeans with black/dark shoes, and brown/light shoes with lighter or coloured trousers.&nbsp; As I'm short, having similar colours at the bottom helps to lengthen my legs - <u>very</u>&nbsp;important with flares, where the amount of fabric can emphasise my lack of height if I'm not careful!<br />I think, with wider legged trousers coming back in, then anything will go, you just have to decide if it will work for you in particular! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965810 Tue, 16 Oct 2018 19:28:33 +0000 Janet 1965810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JG, you and me both! I have loved those boots for years too, but keep admiring from afar. I should just order them to see if they even fit and are comfortable so I can satisfy my curiosity once and for all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965809 Tue, 16 Oct 2018 19:27:17 +0000 Janet 1965809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No more mules for me. I have not worn the one pair I got often enough to justify another. They slip off my feet too easily and have too short of a wearing season for my climate. </p> <p>I’m wearing these today, after testing them out around the house. They’re a little loose in the heel but not in a way that rubs or causes discomfort. So these are an inexpensive way to satisfy a little Western update that fits underneath straight leg jeans and less flared bootcuts. I like that they’re casual but still refined and would probably look decent with dresses or skirts too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965806 Tue, 16 Oct 2018 19:21:40 +0000 JuniperGreen 1965806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet - I've been eyeing the Kori boots for YEARS now... if you go for them please let us know how they are! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965795 Tue, 16 Oct 2018 18:50:02 +0000 Anonymous 1965795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have an impressive bootie collection-you too Suz!

I had meant to chime in about clogs the other day and got distracted before I could post. Just make sure they’re not sling backs. At least for me, that’s a recipe for stepping on my hems inside the shoes.

Remember wearing them with bellbottoms in the late 70's? &nbsp;That was my favourite look in high school ........sigh. &nbsp;I think it was because it made me about 6 feet tall - ha. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965584 Tue, 16 Oct 2018 09:23:27 +0000 Mainelady 1965584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am joining the Fabbers who like pointy toe western boots. They can have a subtle hint toward western or be full on cowboy. I think all will be great with the bootcut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965460 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 20:36:28 +0000 Alicewonderland 1965460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I think your cowboy boots or a western bootie will look good with bootcuts. Also clogs would look good too if you have some:<br /> <a href="https://themomedit.com/2018/08/how-to-style-clogs/" rel="nofollow">https://themomedit.com/2018/08/how-to-style-clogs/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965378 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 16:03:55 +0000 Suz 1965378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have such fabulous footwear!&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the idea of a western style bootie or shootie. Pointed toe. If I get full length boot cuts (unlikely, but possible) I'll probably wear them with my Blondos and my white booties or my almond toe western-look booties.&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA -- it's hard to see in photos but the black ones actually have a very pointy toe, as do the white (though they are not so "western inspired). The red and silver are sewn like a western bootie (the seams).&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965374 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 15:48:35 +0000 RobinF 1965374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those blue booties with the buckles would look great I would think, and they are a lower heel too. Although I think a lot of your shoes would look great.</p> <p>I actually have some old gray corduroy bootcuts that I hauled out this weekend and wore with my Ecco sneakers and I think it actually looked pretty good - much to my surprise. I'll have to try to get a picture and see what you all think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965370 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 15:22:22 +0000 JAileen 1965370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have such wonderful shoes. I think which shoes work with which bootcuts will mostly depend on jeans length and shoe heel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965368 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 15:15:28 +0000 texstyle 1965368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd love to see how some of your sneakers look with bootcuts - you have such a great shoe collection and the metallic sneaks seem like they *should* work (says the one who has a pair of metallic sneaks on order as well as a pair of bootcut jeans).&nbsp; I think most of us know what bootcuts look like with pointy toe boots and shoes,&nbsp; but with sneakers is a whole new ballgame. I know Angie wore her new flares with white sneaks and it looks great on her but she is so polished overall, I'm not sure I could pull that look off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965366 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 15:08:17 +0000 Sara L. 1965366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Reading with interest because I think this is one reason I don't wear my bootcuts that much.&nbsp; I never got rid of mine but I haven't worn them much the last couple years.&nbsp; I know I won't wear them with sneakers - I like the look fine on others, but I nearly always feel frumpy in sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965361 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 14:48:17 +0000 JuniperGreen 1965361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No suggestions but just wanted to say I covet your shoe collection </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965359 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 14:43:44 +0000 Anonymous 1965359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read this over the weekend and meant to comment as I'm wondering about this too. I don't even have the jeans for this look - yet - but when/if I do manage to find a pair of higher rise flares, what the heck am I wearing on my feet? &nbsp; I too like a pointed-toe and moderately heeled shoe or boot, but I can't pretend I can walk for any distance in mine anymore. &nbsp;The sneaker/jeans look reads really casual and boyish to me - a look I try to avoid at all costs - but I recognize it's just new to my eye and that I may warm up to it. &nbsp;I feel like a jerk in Western boots, but I'm thinking I need to investigate a pair like Angie's , or something like it with a shaft. I do like the pair you took home from the Rack - how do they fit?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965241 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 04:22:38 +0000 Jessikams 1965241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Around here I see a lot of the new huge lumpy colorful sneakers (or I guess not “new” but “newly popular” vintage style “Dad” sneakers like Air Jordans) under bootcuts, cropped or full length. It took a while for my eye to adjust but now it seems cute. Might be worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965220 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 02:03:57 +0000 cindysmith 1965220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pointy toe boots, especially of the western persuasion, would be my first choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965207 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 01:44:57 +0000 Jaime 1965207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie took the words out of my mouth (or planted them there in the first place, hard to know!). Anyway, pointy toe flats, including cowboy boots, and bootcuts hemmed to the right length are where I want to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965195 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 01:16:01 +0000 Sal 1965195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have boot cuts but for flares I do prefer a pointy toe boot or heel.....even my sandal boots are not quite right.</p> <p>I tried sneakers with them and I struggled to make it work.&nbsp; Maybe other jeans, other sneakers I could do so.</p> <p>I think any of the finer cut ankle boots will be fantastic with them.&nbsp; I think it will be a modern look - the only ones I question are the Fly London and the black Fry boots - great boots but would need to see with bootcuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965148 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 22:44:32 +0000 Style Fan 1965148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look of pointy toe Western.&nbsp; I am always in awe of your footwear collection Janet. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965140 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 21:53:11 +0000 Janet 1965140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I have three pairs of pointy toe cowboy boots, but they are pretty straight-up COWBOY boots, so a really specific look:</p> <p>- studded black mid-calf Old Gringo boots -- they're a lot of look, so I tend to wear them under bootcuts already to tone down the blingy studded look. They're still REALLY western rocker badass, so I prefer to temper them with a sophisticated topper so I don't look like one of the cousins from Breaking Bad.&nbsp;</p> <p>- light turquoise mid-calf cowboy boots -- again, the color makes them stand out, so I tend to keep it as tonal as possible by pairing them with mid-wash jeans, and not getting too western with the rest of the styling. The color makes them not terribly versatile, but I love it, so I do wear them occasionally. &nbsp;</p> <p>- OLD tan mid-calf Lucchese cowboy boots -- they pre-date YLF by years. They're neutral and would seem to be versatile, but I don't wear much tan.&nbsp;</p> <p>These are all authentic cowboy boots, but obviously I don't always want to go SO overtly western in my style. I've moved away from wearing these much in the last couple of years, but plan to bring them back into rotation more.&nbsp;</p> <p>However, I am thinking of a western style bootie -- not a full boot like what I already have, since they can be bulky under bootcut pants. And something a little less overtly western. More subtle. I picked up this pair of suede cutout boots at the Rack the other day to try on at home. They seemed comfortable in store, but you know how that can go. They are a soft black -- almost between black and gray. Not suitable for the coldest part of winter because of the cutouts and the suede, but I do think they'll be fun with a little bit of colored sock peeking through for fall/spring, and they look good with bare feet too. They're a good deal, price wise, but I'm wondering if I should consider investing in something a bit more versatile, season-wise, that's in the western-inspired vein?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965131 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 21:25:56 +0000 Angie 1965131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>POINTY TOE WESTERN.&nbsp;</p> <p>These have been the bomb for me this Fall - although I wear them with skirts, dresses and cropped pants.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keeping-up-to-date-footwear-with-bootcuts#post-1965130 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 21:21:51 +0000 Cardiff girl 1965130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A little heel and a pointy toe are what I wear with my boot cuts. </p>
