I like Beth Ann's suggestion of bending to test the fragility of them.</p> <p>I didn't notice the carpet BTW </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vic-italy-ankle-boots#post-1106595 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 00:46:40 +0000 Greyscale 1106595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've wondered the same about how well textured leather will hold up. But in this case, I think they're awesome and I bet they'll last quite a while. The texture really makes them interesting in a nice subtle way that'll go with just about anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vic-italy-ankle-boots#post-1106580 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 00:31:10 +0000 Sveta 1106580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are really cool - I want them too!:-)<br />LOL at Marley's comment (I am not among those YLFers for sure! ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vic-italy-ankle-boots#post-1106564 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 00:05:49 +0000 CocoLion 1106564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Beth Ann, I didn't think of bending them back and forth, kind of like the shoe version of&nbsp;kicking a tire right?</p> <p>Marley I LAUGHED OUT LOUD about your dirty carpet comment! &nbsp;You have to agree some YLFers have really intimidating photo backgrounds which look like a clean plate.</p> <p>So far the booties are getting forum-loved. &nbsp;The leather is not printed, it is real physical scales so I do think they have a fragility factor but they are of a higher quality than my Freebird oxfords (this is why I am scale and fragility-shy right now, those got flaky quickly). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vic-italy-ankle-boots#post-1106541 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 23:38:14 +0000 Beth Ann 1106541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the look of them.&nbsp; The texture is terrific. As to wear, I think feeling and bending the leather will give you a sense of durability.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vic-italy-ankle-boots#post-1106513 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 23:15:18 +0000 Marley 1106513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I am certainly relieved to know that you vacuumed because that dirty carpet was the first thing I noticed when I clicked on the first pic.&nbsp; Whew!&nbsp; :-)</p> <p>Oh - and the boots?&nbsp; Love them - that texture is phenomenal!&nbsp; They don't look fragile to me at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vic-italy-ankle-boots#post-1106500 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 23:01:30 +0000 rae 1106500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO cool.

They look great &amp; the texture will add depth to your tonal outfits..&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vic-italy-ankle-boots#post-1106427 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 21:12:13 +0000 Suz 1106427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have enough experience of the scaling but if it is like my Pettys it should be a lot more durable than you might expect. I love the booties and think they are terrific. If no one more knowledgable says they are fragile, please keep!&nbsp;</p> <p>And you look so cute in the second photo.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vic-italy-ankle-boots#post-1106426 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 21:10:54 +0000 MsMary 1106426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them!&nbsp; Can't really speak to the wear issue... I think you have to trust your gut with that.&nbsp; But they look amazing!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vic-italy-ankle-boots#post-1106423 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 21:07:41 +0000 CocoLion 1106423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been looking to replace my Vintage Shoe Co. black ankle boots. &nbsp;They are in their third season and starting to wear.</p> <p>While I love the design, heel height and quiet sole of these Vic Italy boots, I am unsure of the scaling. &nbsp;It feels a bit fragile. &nbsp;As in, will they look trashed quickly? &nbsp;My boyfriend likes them, and&nbsp;they are comfortable. &nbsp;Although they might be a tad wider in the foot and a tad more narrow in the ankle but this is frequently the problem I have and I have found that good leather molds to my feet. &nbsp;I got them for less than the price listed in this link. &nbsp;They sold out really quickly during the Shopbop Black Friday sale event. &nbsp;I paid just under $200.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.shopbop.com/snake-print-ankle-bootie-vic/vp/v=1/1587151528.htm">http://www.shopbop.com/snake-p.....151528.htm</a><br />What do you think?<br />Yay = keep<br />Nay = return</p> <p>PS- Pardon the dirty carpet! &nbsp;I vacuumed after seeing this picture. &nbsp;:-) </p>
