I love the brown best because of the brass zips and the wood sole strip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-tall-boots-for-short-people#post-1118191 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 18:35:33 +0000 Greyscale 1118191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Tsubos have been ordered! They're half-price on tsubo.com and I found a code for free next-day shipping so I'll have them before I head to Peoria for Christmas. The F+B boots are going back to Crossroads as soon as I have a chance, perhaps this evening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-tall-boots-for-short-people#post-1118096 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 16:13:13 +0000 Ariadne 1118096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tsubos for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-tall-boots-for-short-people#post-1117918 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 06:35:06 +0000 Scarlet 1117918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tsubo all the way. If I were in the market I would check them out too because I also have trouble with tall boots being too tall. It makes sense that you are transitioning your style/wardrobe. You just moved and are adjusting to a new work environment/role. Big life changes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-tall-boots-for-short-people#post-1117890 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 04:52:53 +0000 Suz 1117890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tsubos look amazing, and I am cursing you for mentioning those. Do I actually need another pair of boots? I think I might. These are flat, after all. And that zipper!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-tall-boots-for-short-people#post-1117879 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 04:22:05 +0000 Gigi 1117879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I was making a joke. You have not used "ill-fitting classic" before. :^) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-tall-boots-for-short-people#post-1117866 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 03:45:31 +0000 Angie 1117866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote move into the perimeter of the next room.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pill, have I used ill-fitting classic before?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-tall-boots-for-short-people#post-1117846 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 03:16:38 +0000 Greyscale 1117846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! I'm pretty sure that "ill-fitting classic" is no one's ideal style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-tall-boots-for-short-people#post-1117845 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 03:15:28 +0000 Gigi 1117845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greyscale, when you wrote about the Tsubos, you said they looked "amazing" on you. So that to me is a sign that those are the ones you really want. It's not often (at least in my world) that I try something on and say, "That looks amazing!"</p> <p>P.S. I don't know if Angie is aware that she has missed including "Ill-fitting classic" as a style modifier. :^) That made me laugh!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-tall-boots-for-short-people#post-1117842 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 03:08:17 +0000 Sveta 1117842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Tsubo in black - good decision! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-tall-boots-for-short-people#post-1117836 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 03:01:35 +0000 Greyscale 1117836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, this post is doing what I hoped it would! People seem to unanimously like the Tsubos. And the negative reactions to the F+Bs match what I apparently felt subconsciously, because I agree with all of you.&nbsp;I think Rae nailed it - they really don't fit quite right, as lovely as they are. So, back they go!</p> <p>Thanks for the help, everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-tall-boots-for-short-people#post-1117819 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 02:42:29 +0000 rae 1117819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tsubo all the way. The F&amp;Bs look ill-fitting to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-tall-boots-for-short-people#post-1117783 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 02:09:00 +0000 Anonymous 1117783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say go with the Tsubos too!&nbsp;I think they look more streamlined than the F&amp;B, which almost seem a little clunky, plus&nbsp;the zipper adds a little something extra.</p> <p>BTW, I remember seeing them a few months ago when I was looking for tall flat black boots and getting all excited because they were obviously made for short people. I think the only reason I didn't order them to try was because I was looking for&nbsp;gold-toned hardware. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-tall-boots-for-short-people#post-1117749 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 01:26:44 +0000 Jaime 1117749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well this is certainly a problem I can relate to - which is better new, less expensive boots or second hand very expensive boots (expense referring to the original retail price and also the brand image). Without getting into mistakes I've made etc. my conclusion is the Tsubo's will probably work better for you. Why? I just&nbsp;like the toe much better and think it is more current. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-tall-boots-for-short-people#post-1117729 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 01:01:07 +0000 Greyscale 1117729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Technically speaking, there is no room in my closet, because I don't have a closet, and my shoes are all arranged lovingly along the perimeter of the room, and there's no more room. However, I could certainly find a place for them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-tall-boots-for-short-people#post-1117710 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 00:38:38 +0000 Tanya 1117710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the Tsubos!&nbsp; I am not sure about F&amp;Bs, but you got an amazing deal , those retail for about 10x that much.&nbsp; Maybe a few more photos?&nbsp; Is there room in your closet for both? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-tall-boots-for-short-people#post-1117701 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 00:28:13 +0000 Mochi 1117701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tsubos are excellent. I don't need them but want them for myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-tall-boots-for-short-people#post-1117688 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 00:08:01 +0000 CocoLion 1117688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tau = tsubo<br /> Auto complete doesn't recognize many fashion brands! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-tall-boots-for-short-people#post-1117687 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 00:07:28 +0000 CocoLion 1117687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too like the tau is and am surprised at how modern they look. I'm on my phone and the second and third pics look like two different boots so I shall reserve judgement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-tall-boots-for-short-people#post-1117682 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 23:56:24 +0000 Angie 1117682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. The Tsubos look edgy enough for you. Killer boots.&nbsp;</p> <p>I prefer the Tsubos to the F&amp;B's. FWIW, the F&amp;B's look less on trend to my eye.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-tall-boots-for-short-people#post-1117567 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 21:48:51 +0000 Greyscale 1117567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Next up: the ongoing tall boot debate. Angie's post today was so well timed.</p> <p>I bought Madewell Archive boots a month or so ago, then decided they are really too tall for my stumpy lower legs&nbsp;and gape around my upper calves because they hit at the wrong place. I also decided they're a little too classic for me (which would work if they were perfect, perhaps, but ill-fitting classic is so not my style).&nbsp;Luckily I can probably&nbsp;sell them for around what I paid.</p> <p>So, I don't really NEED tall boots at all, but&nbsp;I found these Tsubo boots that are MAGIC for short-calved me. And the zipper is so me. I tried them on in brown and they looked amazing - they hit at the wide part of my calf but aren't stumpifying at all.&nbsp;I'll order them in black to see them in person. Do they seem on-trend and edgy enough for me? Comfort brands often end up feeling dated to me but Tsubo is often an exception.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zappos.com/tsubo-loe">http://www.zappos.com/tsubo-loe</a></p> <p>But, when I sold a bunch of jeans at Crossroads yesterday, I also found these Fiorentini + Baker boots for the exact amount I had in trade credit ($55). They are probably not meant to be this slouchy but they don't pull up higher on my big dancer calves. I have a few days to decide if I should keep or return them (not enough time to get the Tsubos in person). I can't justify two new&nbsp;pairs of tall boots, and these might be too similar to my old Frye-style 12" harness boots.</p> <p>Can you tell I have trouble making decisions? And am shopping a lot recently? I think I'm in some sort of wardrobe transition/renewal phase.&nbsp;Sorry to double-post a photo in two posts, but I wanted to separate the boot and top questions. </p>
