And rubbing there is awful.</p> <p>I would return and keep looking. No point spending money on something uncomfortable that you won't wear, no matter how cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dv-joust-booties#post-731078 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 01:35:25 +0000 Anonymous 731078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw shucks, that chaffing issue is the worst. Sadly, you only realize how bad it is after a full day of walking on them. I have gotten so much bad bruising over the years, I no longer gamble it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dv-joust-booties#post-731032 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 00:38:19 +0000 annagybe 731032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say return. That area is not really going to soften up enough. Sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dv-joust-booties#post-731030 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 00:33:13 +0000 Suz 731030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad we are not the same size. I'd have you send them to me! </p> <p>I hope they work out, Una. They look fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dv-joust-booties#post-730955 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 23:23:05 +0000 Caro in Oz 730955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If they aren't feeling much better after 2 - 3 short wears they probably won't work. If they aren't comfortable I don't see you wearing them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dv-joust-booties#post-730729 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 20:01:25 +0000 catgirl 730729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm okay with ithe heel and the casual feel - I just can't find dressy ankle boots I like that are a wearable heel height. I loved a lot of your yoox finds but the whole returning issue is starting to send me around the bend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dv-joust-booties#post-730721 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 19:55:45 +0000 Jonesy 730721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them, but I agree with others about the fit issues, unless you can wear them with light socks for a breaking-in period (like I did with my Docs to deal with the ankle chafing thing). They are definitely casual-ish with the natural stacked wooden heel--is that what you were going for (vs. a black heel)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dv-joust-booties#post-730719 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 19:54:56 +0000 KathyL 730719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the boots look great on you! I worry about the chafing too though. I am on a search for black booties and it seems like all the ones I try are loose in the ankle area. Maybe it's to prevent the chafing? Or maybe I just haven't found the right ones yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dv-joust-booties#post-730718 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 19:54:38 +0000 Preppy Pear 730718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fab! Maybe some adhesive moleskin around the inside of the cuff? Not sure that would do the trick, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dv-joust-booties#post-730717 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 19:54:24 +0000 catgirl 730717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bj1111, I appreciate that - sometimes I think it's not the shoe breaking in, it's my flesh! I'm going to keep wearing them around the house and see - they feel a lot better with a thin sock, even one that doesn't go to the top of the boot. And I'd never wear them barefoot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dv-joust-booties#post-730706 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 19:49:20 +0000 bj1111 730706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>una, the chafing at the top is the worst. you won't notice it until you start to walk, then it's like fireants. ok, i'm wimpy. but that area of the calf should not have a callus just to accommodate the shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dv-joust-booties#post-730656 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 18:55:31 +0000 Inge 730656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look beautiful on you, Una, and I love the style for you. If you think they will be comfortable enough after a few more wears then I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dv-joust-booties#post-730654 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 18:53:15 +0000 K. Period. 730654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for further testing. They look fantastic, but if they aren't comfortable and don't quickly become more comfortable, beauty won't matter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dv-joust-booties#post-730593 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 18:03:33 +0000 rae 730593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh noes... I found a blue pair left in MY size. Sitting. On. Hands. Now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dv-joust-booties#post-730580 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 17:57:45 +0000 rae 730580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, they look amazing! Does the leather seem the sort that will soften up? Maybe walk around in them with some scrunched down socks for a while? They are so flattering to your dainty ankles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dv-joust-booties#post-730576 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 17:54:32 +0000 Transcona Shannon 730576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a tough call Una - they look fantastic on you but I do worry about the rubbing on the top. Do you think it's a fit issue or a fabrication issue? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dv-joust-booties#post-730568 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 17:49:48 +0000 Suz 730568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They had a blue - you've got the black ones! They came in 3 colours but nobody seems to have the blue any more except in very limited sizes. They must not have made as many. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dv-joust-booties#post-730562 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 17:48:07 +0000 modgrl 730562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well if they aren't comfortable around the top they probably aren't going to get better. I've always worn booties with pants in the winter, way before the bootie craze. Over the years I've had lots of different booties. If they rub in the beginning, it will only get worse with time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dv-joust-booties#post-730545 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 17:33:58 +0000 catgirl 730545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There was a dark blue? Or am I colorblind and these are actually navy? The light is so bad here right now!</p> <p>Thanks for the suggestion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dv-joust-booties#post-730543 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 17:32:11 +0000 Suz 730543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you know what I am going to say! They look great on you, Una. </p> <p>Do you realize the dark blue is already sold out everywhere in my size? I was hoping to get a pair of those. </p> <p>I put a gel insole inside mine to add to the comfort factor. I wonder if you did that if it might lift you just enough so as to stop the botheration around your ankle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dv-joust-booties#post-730532 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 17:25:11 +0000 catgirl 730532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are the boots Suz has in taupe. They fit well and I love the style. They fill my black ankle boot need perfectly. </p> <p>My only issue is the fit around the top of the boot. They aren't snug but are a bit stiff. It could just be that I've never found boots that fit around my skinny legs, so I'm not used to anything hitting me there. It's not painful, but it's not comfortable either. Should I test them out some more?</p> <p>Feedback welcome! </p>
