Although I like the look of Sherpa ones, these provide more versatility - I also can wear them with my faux fur coat. I like the fit and they feel warmer than the other Cons. Overall, they are less loud and more practical while the light color adds a bit of fun to my somber shoe collection! :)<br /><b>Angie,&nbsp;</b>I can’t thank you enough!!!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-winter-boots/page/2#post-2245084 Wed, 22 Dec 2021 20:18:30 +0000 Christina F. 2245084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got the leather Cons today!

I have found that making a good set of decisions over a few years have moved the needle for me. I don’t buy any outerwear that makes me feel like a box, but instead wait for coats and jackets that have defined waists and are in my palette. I don’t buy any sweaters that make me feel like a box, but instead buy shorter welted sweaters in good colors for me. And I used most of one year’s budget sorting my accessories into complements so I feel put together on the street. This year I put on a jacket or a vest I actually liked, over a sweater I actually liked, with pulled together accessories and actually felt like myself. But it took a few years of attention. My next project, replacing the snow pants that look like they were made for someone who climbs utility poles. Any suggestions? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-winter-boots/page/2#post-2245062 Wed, 22 Dec 2021 15:53:39 +0000 JAileen 2245062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m late here, but my thought with the sherpa Cons was why is the sherpa on the outside and not on the inside? &nbsp;But then I’m someone with cold, cold feet.<div><br /></div><div>The boots look like a slam dunk with the outfits you’ve shown.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-winter-boots/page/2#post-2245045 Wed, 22 Dec 2021 13:28:06 +0000 Irina 2245045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you,&nbsp;<b>lozz oz, RobinF, Jorja, LisaP, Nikki, shevia!<br />Zaeobi</b>, thanks for the suggestion, I’ll look into it.</p> <p>And once again, I want to thank you all for your opinions.<div>I assumed I would be able to keep Sherpa Cons clean if I wash them with soap like any fabric shoes. Your concerns made me think twice if it would be that easy. I’m going to return them and try the leather Cons that Angie suggested. I’m going to keep the suede pair for coldest days and it will be my only pair of faux fur lined boots.<br />This will conclude my 2021 search for winter boots. The results prove again and again that I’m not good at winter shopping. Maybe I just can’t make myself enthusiastic enough when it comes to winter dressing.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-winter-boots/page/2#post-2244992 Wed, 22 Dec 2021 03:31:20 +0000 Jaime 2244992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how the Converse look but am glad I am not the only one who immediately thought about cleaning them. It would take me less than a day to mess them up. But I am extreme like that .&nbsp;<br />The second pair are not ordinary at all; I think they look fantastic. On trend, refined for a snow boot and a great color. Assuming they are comfortable I would definitely keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-winter-boots#post-2244990 Wed, 22 Dec 2021 03:24:42 +0000 Brooklyn 2244990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both pairs of boots look great, although I’d be concerned about keeping the first pair clean.</p> <p>On the second pair, I like the lace arrangement and the colour. But honestly, I think if you have doubts about them you should skip them. You have a really strong sense of your own style and I think you should trust your instincts. If you don’t really like them, it doesn’t matter that everyone else does. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-winter-boots#post-2244982 Wed, 22 Dec 2021 02:31:49 +0000 Zaeobi 2244982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Irina, if you're having difficulty checking all of your tickboxes, have you considered going the other way by adding warm boot liners &amp; comfy insoles to a roomy enough pair of boots instead? I see Etsy sellers from particularly cold climates (i.e. Russia) selling fur, felt &amp; wool boot socks - could that work?</p> <p>FWIW though, I think both pairs of boots here look great on you - I think the lighter shades go well with your colouring (they don't 'disappear' on you in the way that they would on me, for example, lol).</p> <p>(PS - I completely feel you re: walking gait - It's *just* become cold enough here to start wearing my new Blondo waterproof laceup booties &amp; the toes are already scuffed! Lol oops The 'lug' sole is refined though (not chunky) so might be worth looking at them if you want more 'sleek' but still grippy boots?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-winter-boots#post-2244972 Wed, 22 Dec 2021 00:31:38 +0000 Anonymous 2244972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are very cool!

The Converse are interesting and unique but how does one keep that fleecey upper clean ? I can’t see them working outdoors here , that’s for sure . They’d be dirty in no time . I need pristine footwear too , which is why mine are all back as well , which is terribly boring but I have a limit to how much searching I’ll do …. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-winter-boots#post-2244948 Tue, 21 Dec 2021 21:09:55 +0000 Jorja 2244948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the taupe boots! The brand is made in Portugal and a new pair similar to yours is selling on Poshmark for $145. So not cheap.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-winter-boots#post-2244944 Tue, 21 Dec 2021 20:42:32 +0000 RobinF 2244944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both but agree that the Converse could be difficult to keep clean. They sure look fab as you have them styled! I also really like the second pair. Not boring at all and nothing wrong with inexpensive. They look great with your coats too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-winter-boots#post-2244942 Tue, 21 Dec 2021 20:05:18 +0000 Irina 2244942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie,&nbsp;</b>you are making me nervous! Nordstrom site lists color as Egret, same as my sherpa Cons. I have to wait and see.<br /><b>Stag,</b>&nbsp;it's not cleaning that is an issue for me. The way I walk, I damage the leather on toes and it cannot be removed, only covered with shoe polish.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-winter-boots#post-2244940 Tue, 21 Dec 2021 19:59:14 +0000 lozz_oz 2244940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A big YES from me for the boots. They work with your palette and you’ve styled them perfectly. Let’s see if you can wrangle a pair of the grey/cream Converse that Angie suggested - I feel that colour would work even better than the white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-winter-boots#post-2244939 Tue, 21 Dec 2021 19:44:12 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2244939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We will have to compare notes about how our white footwear stays clean. The toecaps on my son’s chucks are by no means as white as when they were new—but no one expends any energy in that direction on his shoes. I’m hoping to wipe down my white boots every time I take them off. I still haven’t decided on a pair; the sam Edelman and Sorels are leather; the Esprit and Dr Scholls different kinds of fake leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-winter-boots#post-2244938 Tue, 21 Dec 2021 19:41:51 +0000 Angie 2244938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY! I've seen them and tried them! They look very light grey, but cream at a distance </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-winter-boots#post-2244936 Tue, 21 Dec 2021 19:30:46 +0000 Irina 2244936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks,&nbsp;<b>kkards, CarolS, Firecracker, Stag, Jenni NZ!</p> <p>Stag,&nbsp;</b>you right, I was initially looking for more classic creams boots like Angie’s from JCrew. But I have to be honest with myself - it is important to me to keep shoes as pristine as possible. Unfortunately, I’m a clumsy walker I scratch toes on all my shoes almost immediately. Cons have a rubber toe cap, so they will last. Maybe this will be my only play with cream/white boots before I retreat to the safety of black.<b></p> <p></b><b>Angie,&nbsp;</b>thanks! These Cons are not available on the Converse Canada site and I didn’t check Nordstrom. Ordered! On the site they look cream , I hope they are. I will wait to decide which ones to keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-winter-boots#post-2244934 Tue, 21 Dec 2021 18:50:51 +0000 Angie 2244934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> There are also these sherpa lined Converse hi-tops, btw. Light grey and leather. Might be better! That outside sherpa is a mare to clean. Leather is MUCH easier, and can be sprayed with protectant.</p> <p>LOVE the taupe boots! KILLER cute. You've styled them beautifully :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-winter-boots#post-2244933 Tue, 21 Dec 2021 18:36:56 +0000 Jenni NZ 2244933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally I am not a Converse fan and have never owned any. As far as they go, your black and white ones are more interesting than lots out there.<br /> I actually really like the Winners ones on you especially with the matching/toning coats and bags, so I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-winter-boots#post-2244928 Tue, 21 Dec 2021 18:22:45 +0000 Lesley 2244928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you! I put a pair of half Superfeet in my Blackstones for that reason—the half is better so your toes can really relish in the squishy furry feeling... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-winter-boots#post-2244920 Tue, 21 Dec 2021 18:05:38 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2244920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m deciding between a bunch of white boots with black trim this weekend. We could be twinsies. The thing is, though, that the Chucks are a different direction than your wardrobe usually goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-winter-boots#post-2244917 Tue, 21 Dec 2021 18:00:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2244917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really can't see how you can get just one of these. They both go so beautifully with the outfits you've posted, and I don't think either would go nearly as well with the other's outfits. So I vote BOTH! </p>
