I think you are doing your nice slim legs a disservice by putting them in big slouchy boots. There are definitely brands out there that make boots for slim calves, I think you should try some on. They might be in the $200+ range, but I think one great pair of boots would be a great investment. I have the same problem with boots and asked my DH to buy me some Franco Sarto Peak boots for Christmas. They are $200 and the foot is real leather but the shaft is fake. They are super comfy and flat, and the leg is very fitted. They are a bit casual, but I know there are several reads on here suggesting all sorts of brands for slim calves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-black-friday-shopping#post-781012 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 23:30:57 +0000 amiable 781012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, that makes it easy - I'm not crazy about either pair either, but was wondering if it was just something I'm not used to.</p> <p>They'll go back, and I'll watch for a pair that I really want (tall, riding boots, that are mostly flat).</p> <p>Thank you for chiming in, all of you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-black-friday-shopping#post-781004 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 23:14:06 +0000 Mellllls 781004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>im not crazy about either as well. i agree that a smoother, less slouchy pair in this style would be great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-black-friday-shopping#post-781003 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 23:13:06 +0000 Suz 781003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the black to the grey, but like missvee, I am not crazy about either pair. However, I have to acknowledge a distinct poison eye for this kind of rumpled leather in a boot, and if this is the look you are going for, then my feelings should be ruled irrelevant! </p> <p>Shopping is so hard sometimes. But see how smart you are. I have learned this also, about returnability. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-black-friday-shopping#post-781000 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 23:11:57 +0000 Atlantia 781000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you looking for a slouchy boot? If so, I think the black ones could work. Truthfully, I would like to see them come in more at the ankle, and I agree with missvee that something smoother might be better. I don't care for the taupe ones...the slouchiness does not come off as stylish, and you can do much better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-black-friday-shopping#post-780998 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 23:06:41 +0000 missvee 780998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not crazy about either pair, but lets see what the other posters think - I could be the outlier here :). I'd like to see you get a pair of sleek leather boots, flat heeled riding style maybe. Something with a smooth shaft. I think they'd be more versatile because they can be worn with skirts, dresses, or with skinny jeans tucked in.<br /> Good for you for braving the Black Friday sales! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-black-friday-shopping#post-780996 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 22:57:30 +0000 amiable 780996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Went out this morning on a quest for boots.</p> <p>Bought two pair, but I'm not sure that either are keepers. What do you think?</p> <p>Both are comfy. Both are within budget. </p> <p>The first pair are black, just basic. They were cheap.</p> <p>The second were costly enough to hurt, and are probably taupe (the box calls them stone)? They're a big darker than what I consider taupe, but a mousy brownish-gray. </p> <p>Both are big in the calves (so is just about everything, considering my chicken-legginess. Does that make them look bad?</p> <p>Both are definitely returnable (which is why I bought them, because I found my size amid the mayhem, and because I knew I could come and ask your opinion).</p> <p>Keep or return? </p>
