This is sharp. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-875170 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 01:54:27 +0000 Jaime 875170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I looked and looked and couldn't figure out the top-heavy thing at all. They look great to me, especially for the summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-875132 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 01:12:23 +0000 Thistle 875132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mona and you kitty are so cute and so relaxed! Pets have the life, and they know it!</p> <p>Like these boots on you. I think they fit your style well, and I think they will look nice with skinnies. Are you okay with the heel height? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-875131 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 01:11:21 +0000 catgirl 875131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAHAHA! Bookending Kona - I laughed so hard I really did spit out tea! You are right though. I'm going to try these barelegged in some summer-y photos, although we are light-years away from that scenario right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-875069 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 00:18:05 +0000 K. Period. 875069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these look fabulous on you and I agree with R&amp;J: The first thing that I thought was that they worked as a pseudo-nude on you. I was glad to read down the comments and see that I wasn't alone in that. Besides, they bookend Kona so well, you should keep them just to give you an excuse to bring pup with you everywhere! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-875029 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 23:37:21 +0000 Nicole D 875029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks balanced to me, not top heavy. They are wonderfully broken in looking. Gorgeous caramel colour. Great job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-875012 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 23:20:59 +0000 Suz 875012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are cool, Una, and I can see them as a nude for you in summer. FAB!! </p> <p>Your pets have TOTALLY the right idea. That's the life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-874934 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 22:31:02 +0000 rae 874934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw thay in the reviews, too. I ordered both a half and full size up to compare </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-874931 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 22:29:24 +0000 catgirl 874931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I am so flattered that you are ordering them! The heel is quite comfy although I'll be getting an insole and like I said, the bottoms made grippy. I also highly advise sizing up a half-size - I'm in a 6.5 in these and I'm normally 5.5 - 6 depending on width. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-874923 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 22:24:02 +0000 rae 874923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should have gnawed off my arm the first time around. Now that I know I can wear high heels comfortably at work, I can't help trying them out. You are my official boot guru! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-874911 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 22:17:50 +0000 Beth Ann 874911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the rate quality, Una, and I don't see any problem with the fit on the calves. I think the color is completely doable in your wardrobe, too. I do this length of book is a little tricky --- tucks might not stay tucked, for example. That said, I have a taupe pair that I wear all the time and I love 'em. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-874804 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 20:58:08 +0000 Marley 874804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look really good on you - almost makes me want to reconsider my ban against buying anymore cognac footwear! I think that the color of the sweater really works with the cognac boot - they look like they are in the same color "family" - and because of that, no need to worry about bookending with anything else! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-874751 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:49:39 +0000 catgirl 874751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are not exactly a nude on me now, but would be closer to my skin tone (minus the distressing!) in summer. They are almost a golden brown with some darker and lighter scuffed areas. They are much more golden than the stock photo, which I actually like. Who knew you could bookend with your face? Love it!</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/bedstu-maya-tan-rustic-leather" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/bedstu-m.....ic-leather</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-874747 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:40:51 +0000 DonnaF 874747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look fab! Since they bookend with your skin, I think it makes a difference that you are wearing 3/4 or scrunched sleeves. In warmer weather with bare legs or scrunched/shorter sleeves, you won't have to think twice about bookending. In winter, if you don't have an open neckline, you will probably have to pay more attention. JMHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-874744 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:39:49 +0000 RoseandJoan 874744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these Una, I think they will be wonderful with bare legs when the temps increase.</p> <p>These boots look a couple of shades darker then your complexion on my monitor would you consider them close to a nude? If yes, I see no reason why you would need to bookend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-874705 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:51:54 +0000 Kalli 874705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As another IT, I would say they don't make you look top heavy at all, the color is quite fantastic and I love the RATE aspect of these. How I wish I could wear yellow as well as you. Your dog is too cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-874701 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:48:41 +0000 kellygirl 874701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, those are cool. I don't see any ice cream cone going on. Gorgeous color. I don't think you are going to need to bookend at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-874693 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:40:23 +0000 cciele 874693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great -- keep! I really like the distressing on these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-874684 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:35:07 +0000 Raisin 874684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope, not too slim for your top, I like them. They are a great color, they look especially good with that citron top. Cute critters! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-874679 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:22:33 +0000 Anonymous 874679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They don't make you topheavy at all. They have presence in the RATEness, so even though they are light, they don't look wimpy. I like them over the skinnies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-874678 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:21:57 +0000 Karie 874678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colors on these boots, I don't see any need for bookending. They look great with your white skinnies! And Kona looks like a small deer! He's adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-874671 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:16:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 874671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your pets are cracking me up! Looks like Kona knows how to relax...</p> <p>LOVE these boots...seriously LOVE! Not too skinny, don't make you top heavy, no need to bookend...just wear them and enjoy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-874666 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:09:46 +0000 rae 874666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. It's kind of painful how much I love these. I don't think they make you topheavy at all, especially since you aren't going to wear them with cognac jeans... they will create a nice horizontal line at the bottom that balances the shoulder line IMO. I think the fit with skinnies is nice - makes a sleek leg kind of like your DH boots. They bookend with your skintone; no need for anything else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-874664 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:06:23 +0000 catgirl 874664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Astrid - just noticed the cat growing out of my leg, eek! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-874662 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:05:38 +0000 Astrid 874662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE them! The color is awesome. I think they look fine the way you're wearing them, I don't see any top heaviness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-bedstu-rate-cognac-boots#post-874654 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:01:00 +0000 catgirl 874654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These arrived over the weekend. They fit well and are very RATE, which I think will suit me better in a non-black boot. I will need to have a grippy sole put on as the bottoms are leather and I'm slipping around the house! </p> <p>My two concerns are: </p> <p>1) whether the shaft is too narrow for wearing over skinnies (usually not a problem for me with my skinny calves - they fit, so I'm talking more about the look). Do they make me look top heavy?</p> <p>2) styling the color. Must these be bookended to work for me with dark hair? I can see them as a summer boot as well as in winter.</p> <p>Bonus Kona photo...</p> <p>TIA for any advice and honest feedback! </p>
