I think I just needed some reassurance that I was making the right decision to send them back! </p> <p></p> <p>Thistle, I had thought about checking out Duo too, but the thing is that they categorize their boots as wide ankle, standard ankle, or slim ankle, and all the ones I like are either wide or standard, so I don't think they'll work for me. I've been meaning to email to ask them about the actual ankle measurements though.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-agl-boots#post-1086887 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 03:23:57 +0000 Thistle 1086887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are not wowing me, and for the price of AGLs they should. Honestly, for the price of most boots, they should.</p> <p>And do you really want anything in your closet you aren't excited about?</p> <p>I am thinking about checking out Duo. I actually think I am going to take down my ankle, calf, and leg measurements and see what they recommend. They specialize in athletic calves, and they do have free shipping but not free returns, so I have been trying to find so etching through Zappos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-agl-boots#post-1086874 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 03:04:37 +0000 Adelfa 1086874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree. Something that feels expensive should also feel wonderful. I know the feeling, though, of looking forever for something that checks the boxes, and wanting to pounce when you find it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-agl-boots#post-1086863 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 02:46:54 +0000 pil 1086863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While they're a nice looking boot my first reaction wasn't "wow!". I totally hear you on the price thing. If they're that expensive it seems you should be feeling "now THAT'S what I'm talking about!" when you put them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-agl-boots#post-1086854 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 02:38:38 +0000 Jules 1086854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You don't seem the least bit excited about these and neither am I. Next!<br /> Seriously, sometimes we get caught up on a list of requirements to fill a perceived need and forget that we should love the purchase too. Happened to me last week, I returned a pair. I may not find the perfect low heeled but refined black riding boots this year but maybe I'll find something else I actually love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-agl-boots#post-1086843 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 02:26:54 +0000 pastrygirl 1086843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look a bit generic to me, too. And generic, basic boots shouldn't cause so much fretting! I vote return... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-agl-boots#post-1086690 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:26:56 +0000 Diana 1086690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una and Ceit, I am actually glad to hear you say that they seem boring. To be honest I was a bit afraid that my fretting about the price was clouding my judgment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-agl-boots#post-1086686 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:25:22 +0000 rae 1086686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit looks great to me, actually. Need some ankle room to walk. But you don't sound like you like em much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-agl-boots#post-1086683 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:23:34 +0000 Anonymous 1086683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say return! They are fine, but they don't have a wow-factor to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-agl-boots#post-1086677 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:19:26 +0000 catgirl 1086677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know, Diana - they are not wowing me. I feel like even basic boots need to have some of your personality and while these are pretty, they just look generic, as you say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-agl-boots#post-1086673 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:16:49 +0000 Diana 1086673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AM, I'm fairly certain they can be stretched or will even do so themselves&nbsp;with some wear. &nbsp;I'd rather do it myself to be honest, because although my cobbler does a good job, he is rather expensive (they all are here) and slow as molasses (always takes like a month to get anything done there because he is just one guy with a ton of business and he will not be rushed). &nbsp;</p> <p>Suz, you might be right about the snug calf accentuating the ankle thing, but it's weird with this pair, because all the crinkling is in the FRONT and the side and back are pretty snug in the ankle, but maybe it's how they're cut. &nbsp;</p> <p>To be honest part of what is bugging me is the price. &nbsp;I know I shouldn't fret about that so much, since I can afford them just fine, but I can't kick the feeling that they might not be worth it. &nbsp;If they were perfect I wouldn't mind the cost at all.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-agl-boots#post-1086670 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:12:22 +0000 peacechick 1086670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like these shoes aren't the perfect 10 for you. How would you rank them? 8? I would wait for the the other boots to arrive before making a decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-agl-boots#post-1086668 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:10:27 +0000 Suz 1086668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the ankle issue is partly a result of the snug calf. And you don't sound super happy with them. I would say, at minimum, do not wear outside until you see the other pair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-agl-boots#post-1086666 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:09:16 +0000 AviaMariah 1086666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you asked a cobbler if they think they can stretch them a little? &nbsp;I say if they think they can't be stretched enough then you should return if they are uncomfortable. &nbsp;They are nice boots though and I don't think you need to worry about them being too boring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-agl-boots#post-1086659 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:05:04 +0000 Diana 1086659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are the AGL boots that I asked earlier in the week about stretching. &nbsp;I am pretty conflicted about these. &nbsp;On the one hand, the ankles come close to fitting (yes, there's still some crinkling but it's way less galoshy than most pairs I've tried), which is a huge, huge fit issue for me most of the time. &nbsp;They are pretty comfy, although the soles feel slightly slippery to me, the leather is nice, and the height and shape are good. &nbsp;</p> <p>On the other hand, they were really expensive, even on sale, and for that price I kind of&nbsp;want them to be perfect. &nbsp;They are not perfect because of the slightly too tight calves (they are tight enough to pinch but then again they DO zip up so they wouldn't have to stretch very much). &nbsp;</p> <p>And no gold zippers. &nbsp;I worry that these may look too boring or&nbsp;<i>generic</i>, but maybe that's because I've been obsessing over the gold zipper thing for too long. &nbsp;And as I mentioned, although the ankles fit more closely than most, there's still some crinkling in front. &nbsp;Is it too much and does this bother you? &nbsp;(To be honest, though, I think there's always going to be some crinkling there, otherwise I couldn't move my ankle, right?)</p> <p>Anyway, I can't decide how I feel about this, and I think I might have too much emotionally invested in this boot search to be objective. &nbsp;So do you guys even think these are worth considering? &nbsp;(I will add that I do have another pair of boots coming next week, that do have gold zippers and are a much more reasonable price after discounts, so if those are fantastic this may be a moot point.)</p> <p>Sorry about the weird flash-y mirror pics. &nbsp;It was the only way I could get the pictures to show enough detail. </p>
