Not only the texture, but&nbsp;I also&nbsp;find the fit better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-1#post-1130281 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 13:49:00 +0000 Suz 1130281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ - - on Parsley's recommendation I ordered a pair of these in a light tan/ taupe:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.shoebacca.com/geewawa/blair-blair-blk.html">http://www.shoebacca.com/geewa.....r-blk.html</a></p> <p>I'm not sure they are still available (or they might be available elsewhere) but they are a really good value. I wasn't sure about the back lacing (and making it tidy is a bit of an issue for me with my streamlined preferences) but it is super useful because you can adjust to just the right width, yet it looks sleek in the front. They are 100% leather, with leather lining and leather soles as well -- an unbelievable deal at the price (mine were even less than the price listed there.)&nbsp;</p> <p>I wonder if it would be worth a search?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-1#post-1130202 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 11:25:31 +0000 bj1111 1130202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you deserve better boots than these. &nbsp;too much gap-age on both. &nbsp;unless it's an emergency, i would keep looking.</p> <p>ps. you look awfully cute in blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-1#post-1130192 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 09:12:35 +0000 CocoLion 1130192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My vote is for the Skechers between the two but I think there might be a better pair out there for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-1#post-1130173 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 08:13:58 +0000 rae 1130173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look both tall and wide to me... sorry. I hope you will find the perfect ones soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-1#post-1130155 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 06:48:41 +0000 Gigi 1130155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, I too have narrow calves, but I think that you're going to be disappointed with these boots. You may not find something that has a perfect fit, but I think you can do better than these. Have you ever looked at this blog: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://littlecontessa.blogspot.com/">http://littlecontessa.blogspot.com/</a>? The gal who runs it has very narrow calves and has reviewed many pairs of narrow-calf boots. Maybe you could find something there?</p> <p>Boots with a narrower calf are probably going to be more expensive, unfortunately. Are you able to afford a spendier pair?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-1#post-1129950 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 01:40:16 +0000 Beth Ann 1129950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Much prefer the Sketchers!&nbsp; I like the quilting and the gapping isn't bothering me on these, although a closer fit would be nice.&nbsp; I understand the difficulties of fitting calves.&nbsp; I'm on the opposite end, of course, and find that cheaper (less than $100) boots with gussets, but not wide-calf fit me best.&nbsp; I imagine that finding a good fit for you would generally take a much bigger budget.&nbsp; Such is the way of boots "off the rack." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-1#post-1129936 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 01:20:32 +0000 Jewell 1129936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The G by Guess boots look much too big to my eye, but I like the Skechers on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-1#post-1129897 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 00:49:01 +0000 Anonymous 1129897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of the two I prefer the quilted ones, but they both look too big to me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-1#post-1129880 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 00:34:49 +0000 sarah 1129880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look too big. Oops, I'm realizing Una just said everything I was going to say. Sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-1#post-1129875 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 00:26:20 +0000 catgirl 1129875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are too big, AJ.&nbsp; Sorry!&nbsp; They need to be more fitted or else not as tall to my eye.&nbsp; I have had my share of boot disappointments, believe me.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-1#post-1129870 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 00:14:50 +0000 unfrumped 1129870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For tights/ dress at least, these look way too big on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-1#post-1129822 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:59:02 +0000 Diana 1129822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of the two, I think the dark brown is better but honestly I think both look substantially too big for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-1#post-1129821 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:58:58 +0000 Sveta 1129821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Sketchers better that the other pair but honestly neither is a good fit on the top. Angie had a list of brands for narrow calves-have you tried any of those&nbsp;those? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-1#post-1129806 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:39:16 +0000 Aquamarine 1129806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just went through this exercise I think the quilted ones look better on you if I had to choose. Skinny jeans may fill in some of the space, and I don't like the ankle sagging of the other ones. However, I don't think either is close to perfect but you seem ready to accept that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-1#post-1129805 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:38:48 +0000 carambola 1129805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From what I can see, the Sketchers look like a more streamlined&nbsp;fit. Do they work with your wardrobe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-1#post-1129798 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:33:36 +0000 MsMary 1129798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Based on what I can see here, I'm voting #2.&nbsp; I am not really digging the ankle sag in #1.&nbsp; Plus I like the quilting detail! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-1#post-1129797 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:33:10 +0000 Thistle 1129797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They seem really big on your calves. Really big. How do they feel? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-1#post-1129793 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:31:48 +0000 catgirl 1129793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can we get a full body shot? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-1#post-1129789 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:28:59 +0000 AJ 1129789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My beloved dark brown Old Navy boots finally cracked on me after 3&nbsp; fall/winters.&nbsp; :(&nbsp; </p> <p>What do you think of these two boots?&nbsp; Dark brown with quilting is Sketchers brand and other is G by Guess.&nbsp; I want to wear with both tucked in skinnies and casual skirts/dresses.&nbsp; <b>(My calves are quite slender, so giving up on trying to fit them perfectly.)</b></p> <p><b>G by Guess</b><br />Pro: full zippers on both sides, simple design = more styling versatility</p> <p>Con: ankle sag</p> <p><b>Sketchers</b><br />Pro: slightly higher front makes calf gap seem less noticeable, quilted back seems to help the structure of the boot from sagging too much, darker brown more versatile color for my wardrobe</p> <p>Con: studs and quilting make it less versatile? OTT?</p> <p><b>No worries if you think both should go back.&nbsp; Thanks for your input!</b></p> <p><b>ETA:&nbsp; Per Una's request, added full shot with overexposure for boot detail.<br /></b> </p>
