Also, you are trying too hard to talk yourself into these! That's a 'sign' that they aren't the ones. Hold out for a pair that you just absolutely FALL in LOVE with - HARD - like you get all trembly inside when you think about them! They are out there. Just remember, you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-827489 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 16:05:07 +0000 Raisin 827489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't settle for less than you want! Try some Fryes on, you may find a pair that has the right width. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-827486 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 16:03:42 +0000 amiable 827486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I wore them for an hour this morning and decided that they're going back - the widest point of the toe box is at the wrong spot for me, and where the ball of my foot is, it's too narrow. It hurt and made my toes numb. </p> <p>But I did find a local retail store (Dillards) who is supposed to carry Frye. So I'll be paying them a visit - both to check out the leather they use, and to find what would be my proper size. I think I probably should have went with my normal size in MizMooz, rather than size down a half size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-827150 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 03:04:52 +0000 amiable 827150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, so after showing them to my husband, he's thinking that I'm more reacting to feeling like I spent *so* much money than that there's something less than ideal about the boots. </p> <p>He points out that the leather is reasonably substantial - if it were thicker, it would feel stiff and chaff my legs. </p> <p>And, knowing myself and my issues with money, I suspect he's right. So I'm going to keep them for a couple of days and see if they grow on me.</p> <p>I really appreciate your input :)</p> <p>And I think I'm going to find out if any of our local stores carry Frye for me to try on... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-827023 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:50:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 827023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep looking if the love isn't there for these ones Amiable. I do think they look great on you but if you're not feeling it, then send them back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-827020 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:47:16 +0000 CocoLion 827020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hang in there for a better pair. I have been looking (not actively, I admit) for 2 years, trying to find boots that fit my skinny calves. That aren't $600 plus. If you find any that would fit 12.75" calves please PM me! I like a proper fitted calf and most boots are 15" or even bigger. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-826976 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 23:52:05 +0000 Spiffy 826976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So i'm a lover of gaps when wearing boots but I also mostly lust after a stiffer, moto style. That said, if they don't make you feel like a totally awesome, booty whooping superhero, back they go. I tried on maybe 35 pairs of boots until I found the perfect ones last week. It is worth it to keep trying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-826964 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 23:19:27 +0000 K. Period. 826964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are lovely, but I vote return too. You can get a boot that has a very small gap that will play well with skirts and pants. Your closet and you deserve the right boots. You aren't in love with these and they don't multitask the way they should, so don't settle. Return them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-826887 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 21:38:23 +0000 Caro in Oz 826887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Return them - you don't love them:) They need to make you want to wear them to bed:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-826780 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 19:13:31 +0000 Astrid 826780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, return them. There's something better out there, I'm sure! And even if you have to save up to a pair - better to wait a bit than to have the wrong boots. When I bought my first tall black boots after joining YLF I had to search for a while too. But I really wore the ones I got to death in the last two years, so it was worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-826774 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 19:09:43 +0000 amiable 826774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yep Ceit. I think I'm convinced that what I actually want are Fryes. I wonder if I can get my size (usually a 9) narrow enough for me? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-826743 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:50:52 +0000 Anonymous 826743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say return, and honestly, I think you should save up to try some Fryes. If you want a rugged, tough boot, I think you want something like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-826736 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:48:21 +0000 Thistle 826736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are leaning there, you probably should return them. You just don't love them, and you deserve boots you love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-826732 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:46:36 +0000 amiable 826732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(I'm leaning toward return....) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-826731 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:45:16 +0000 Thistle 826731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second cinnamon fern. You should LOVE these and be excited to wear them. Sounds like you are not.</p> <p>That said, I don't think these will work with skirts or dresses. They look fine with jeans, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-826730 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:45:15 +0000 amiable 826730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, they're comfy (just a tiny bit snug, but leather can grow a bit, so I'm not concerned about that, and my feet are usually not too picky as long as I keep a low heel)</p> <p>Fit aside, they don't feel that special to me. They're not as rugged feeling as my other boots are (the ones that I got free used). I'm torn between not wanting to keep saving and looking for something that seems truly rugged, and knowing that these are probably certainly passable.</p> <p>I'm likely to wear them with pants more than skirts - I don't often wear skirts, and when I do, it's generally summer, and I probably won't be wanting BLACK boots for that pairing anyway. So they're more likely to be styled with pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-826727 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:43:24 +0000 cinnamon fern 826727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote no if you want to be able to wear them with skirts, and yes if you're happy wearing them just with jeans.</p> <p>Although your first sentence inclined me to vote no without looking at the pictures </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-826725 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:39:39 +0000 Amy 826725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you cinch them in when you wear them with bare legs? They look great with the jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-826708 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:28:26 +0000 Glory 826708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the look of these but agree with Raisin that with bare legs the gap is noticable. Love them with the jeans. How do they feel? Comfy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-826689 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:08:55 +0000 Raisin 826689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The gap is fairly big on bare legs, but looks good with your scrunchy jeans. I guess it depends on what you see yourself wearing them with most. I do really love the look of the boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-826681 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:03:16 +0000 lyn67 826681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not an expert on brands, but like them! They seem so versatile, colour and style, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-boots#post-826676 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:59:32 +0000 amiable 826676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Miz Mooz boots arrived! </p> <p>I'm not as excited about them as I expected, but I do like them. Unfortunately, I had lots of volunteers to take pics, and my ten-year-old son has no where near the steady hand of his younger sister who usually takes them. So most of the pics are blurry.</p> <p>But here they are anyway, the calves are a bit big, but not bad with jeans tucked in.<br /> I'm including pics with a skirt to show the gap, and with my skinny jeans tucked in. I already buckled the buckles their tightest, and there's a tiny bit of room to punch another hole, but not much, and it would cause the elastic band in the back to bunch. </p> <p>I don't know what to look for fit-wise (other than this gap). Can you tell from these pics whether they work for me and how they fit? If now, I'll take better pics later.</p> <p>What do you think? I think they could work, but I'm not convinced they're perfect either... But I also trust your opinion (especially on fit) over mine. So Thanks in advance! </p>
