A good visual weight. Hard to say with boots, without walking. But they should be comfy going on and worn around the house... standing, of course, not sitting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-2#post-1517896 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 18:04:43 +0000 amiable 1517896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I concur with others - they look terrific, but wear them around the house for a day, and your feet will probably let you know what they think of them &nbsp;When I'm testing shoes, I stand and/or walk indoors for more than four hours. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-2#post-1517894 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 17:37:08 +0000 E 1517894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have high arches and fussy feet and they're happy in them. But there's not a bump for the arch like in Birkenstocks or Dansko. They (Aurora) have a blog post about that: <a href="http://aurorashoeco.blogspot.com/2012/03/foot-health-and-orthotics.html?m=1" rel="nofollow">http://aurorashoeco.blogspot.c.....s.html?m=1</a></p> <p>For what that's worth of course. I spend most of my time at home and don't wear shoes in the house, so I find my Auroras more comfortable than my Danskos or Birkenstocks for long walking periods. But it sounds like your feet like the traditional type of arch support. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-2#post-1517893 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 17:36:15 +0000 Lenni A 1517893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of beautiful Ariat western boots that I bought several years ago. I bought them on the snug side, width wise, because the salesperson in the store assured me they would stretch and that they had a good initial fit. Sadly, they did not really stretch and have never been comfortable for me. It has been a major disappointment. I should probably take them to a cobbler to see if anything can be done professionally, but I'm doubtful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-2#post-1517879 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 17:07:34 +0000 Daria 1517879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Word Lily - with a tunic or a short dress and these killer boots you will look great in leggings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-2#post-1517857 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 16:25:32 +0000 Word Lily 1517857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Daria! I don't own leggings or skinnies, either. I tried a pair of jeggings on just in the last month, for the first time ever. I felt better in them than I expected, but I still wasn't ready to take the plunge.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-2#post-1517856 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 16:18:26 +0000 Daria 1517856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really cool boots! Have you tried them with leggings or skinnies? You need to show those boots off. :)<br />Talking about boots shopping in general, go to Zappos and do a search by width - pretty sure it will come up with decent amount of choices. No need to wear slides in the snow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-2#post-1517852 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 16:02:13 +0000 Word Lily 1517852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Maneera, that's kind of the point, I wasn't really surviving.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm still not sure these fit, though.

I have high arches (wanted to try Birkenstock's high arch ones, but apparently I wasn't fast enough; they're phasing it out because of not enough demand, and I can't find them in my size).</p> <p>These have a rubberized outsole of some kind, it's definitely not leather.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-2#post-1517844 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 15:44:27 +0000 Maneera 1517844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every girl needs boots! And in your case, for practical reasons too. I say PLEASE keep them! And hunt around for more too. How can anyone survive winters in *slides* is beyond me...and it doesn't even snow here! </p> <p>But I do think that customized shoes will be great for you, considering that your feet are wide. These boots ARE cute...I wouldn't peg them as men's boots either. They look cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-2#post-1517834 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 15:31:54 +0000 E 1517834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great! What kind of sole do they have? If it's leather, you could get a cobbler to add vibram soles for extra comfort. I walk around a lot inside in new shoes when deciding whether or not they're comfortable enough. And I wear them while cooking, since that involves a fair amount of standing around. </p> <p>Have you heard of Aurora Shoe Co? They have an ankle boot now and offer shoes in a big range of widths and sizes (you send in a tracing of your foot and they send you the right size). They're super super comfy and ethically made, if you like their rustic style. I live in mine during the non-snowy months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-2#post-1517831 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 15:27:53 +0000 Word Lily 1517831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't; for some reason I have a strong irrational dislike of Clarks brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-2#post-1517830 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 15:25:44 +0000 Jenn 1517830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried Clarks boots? I think a lot of their styles come in wide sizes. And yes, the western boots will for sure be better than slides!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-2#post-1517825 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 15:17:52 +0000 donnat 1517825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Walk around in the house wearing the new boots to test them. Wear them for a couple if hours. That will tell you whether they will be comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-2#post-1517824 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 15:17:44 +0000 Word Lily 1517824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't necessarily need them to be snow boots, no. But the shoes I was wearing last winter were slides, open in the back! Ideally I'll eventually have a few pair of boots in my wardrobe, but I have to start somewhere, right?</p> <p>I think this style is actually available in women's sizes too, which might explain them not screaming MEN'S. I'm pretty convinced I like the Ariat brand; the arch support is much better than all the others I tried on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-2#post-1517821 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 15:12:42 +0000 Jenn 1517821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look super cute, and I wouldn't have immediately pegged them as men's boots if you hadn't mentioned it. I ADORE my Ariats (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-hit-and-a-miss">see here</a>). I've had them for a couple years now, and they just keep being awesome. They will loosen up a little with time, so they should be just a wee bit snug at first. </p> <p>I don't consider mine to be snow boots, though, so if that's your aim, they might not be the best choice. I don't know about that specific pair, but the traction on mine definitely wasn't made for snow and ice.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boots-2#post-1517813 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 14:54:10 +0000 Word Lily 1517813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went looking for a belt, because my pants were falling down. And then we looked at boots. I was drawn in by the motorcycle boots, but they didn't really fit (too narrow). And then I ended up trying on a ton of boots and going home with a pair.&nbsp;</p> <p>But let me back up. I've wanted boots for years and years — I started trying them on 10+ years ago, and I've never found ones that I liked and that fit. The footwear situation in my own closet reached a crisis point this past winter, when I didn't have a single pair of shoes that kept my feet dry in the snow/slush. I ordered a pair of snow boots, but they didn't fit and were returned.</p> <p>Back to this summer: I liked these boots, but I wished they were black instead of brown. And then two days later I couldn't get them on without crying — my feet were bruised on the top, whether from these or from trying on so many other too-small boots I wasn't sure.</p> <p>But I returned them. And went looking in the men's department, because I had finally been told what I'd long suspected: my feet are wide (at least at the ball of my foot). I measured at an E width. Most of the men's were too narrow too (regular width of a mens shoe being D). They were happy to special order, though, and so we picked something out — in black. The wide option available, though, was EE. They finally came in this week, and I brought them home. I can't decide if they fit. They're leather, so they'll stretch. But then will they be too big?</p> <p>How do they look? I'm not a cowgirl, by any stretch, but I do like boots. And if I can't get knee-high all-leather boots that actually fit, I think I'm OK with western boots. How do you know if a shoe/boot fits, is comfortable before you've walked miles in them?&nbsp;</p> <p>I can't seem to find these at a retailer that will let me collect them, but here's a link:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ariat.com/10015265_884849833032.html">http://www.ariat.com/10015265_884849833032.html</a>&nbsp; </p>
