But thanks for the commiseration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-go-of-the-dream#post-476033 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 20:38:54 +0000 rae 476033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH, NO! How tragic that your shoes did not work out! That is too sad... le sigh... still, you've earned some great shopping karma helping to bring your guy and those boots together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-go-of-the-dream#post-475935 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 17:53:02 +0000 at 475935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow those are some serious boots for your man! Love them, wish my hubby would wear those...</p> <p>I wish I can walk into Fluevog and not wish for at least 3 pairs...many a time I've walked out with an impulsive pair. I am quite addicted. The new Prepares are amazing......</p> <p>But like you I have tried on a few that didn't suit me like I thought it would (their fit is quite finicky, but once you find a family.....there goes the money!), but then there are so many alternatives in the store I usually find one I like... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-go-of-the-dream#post-475927 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 17:45:14 +0000 Sylvie 475927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, so sad the shoes didn't work for you but *censored expletive here* those man boots are awesome! Good for you for treating your partner to something special. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-go-of-the-dream#post-475907 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 17:02:04 +0000 Patty 475907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AAAWWWWW HOW disappointing Elizabeth!!<br /> On the other hand----man in awesome cool shoes--in skinny jeans--push them boundaries!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-go-of-the-dream#post-475858 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 15:34:01 +0000 Suz 475858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry about your shoes...but wow, your man has some seriously cool footwear now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-go-of-the-dream#post-475847 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 15:28:27 +0000 Aziraphale 475847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks guys! Yep, it's funny how sometimes you can have your heart set on something and then it just doesn't work out. But then I guess that balances out the times when you try something on for a lark, something that you think is totally wrong, and it turns out to be awesome!</p> <p>It helps that I really, really like my husband's new shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-go-of-the-dream#post-475359 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 20:30:56 +0000 ironkurtin 475359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're a good woman to share purchase euphoria with your boy. I thought this story was really sweet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-go-of-the-dream#post-475352 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 20:23:21 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 475352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear the dream didn't work out. I remember when you first posted those shoes and I was so very tempted by the pretty picture.</p> <p>I'm glad you found something though and a great man present may be even more elusive than a pretty and comfortable shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-go-of-the-dream#post-475334 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 20:06:28 +0000 Anonymous 475334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sad about your Fluevogs! Really. I feel your pain.</p> <p>Your man has some seriously good taste: how nice of you to bless him with those killer boots! Wow. And you get to be seen with him. Now that's good fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/letting-go-of-the-dream#post-475269 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 19:01:50 +0000 Aziraphale 475269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I went to Fluevog yesterday to look at the stained glass dream shoes:</p> <p><a href="http://www.fluevog.com/code/?w%5B0%5D=gender%3Awomen&#038;pp=1&#038;view=detail&#038;p=1&#038;colourID=3332" rel="nofollow">http://www.fluevog.com/code/?w.....ourID=3332</a></p> <p>....and you know what? They're not as awesome in real life. They're more clunky-looking than I thought they would be. I didn't adore the red colourway, but the black was indeed lovely, so I tried them on anyway....and even the smallest size was too big for my feet! So that decides that, then. What can you do. :-)</p> <p>On an up note, my honey got these Jagger boots:</p> <p><a href="http://www.fluevog.com/code/?w%5B0%5D=gender%3Amen&#038;w%5B1%5D=attribute%3ABoot&#038;pp=2&#038;view=detail&#038;p=26&#038;colourID=2828" rel="nofollow">http://www.fluevog.com/code/?w.....ourID=2828</a></p> <p>....for his Christmas present! I said that since I'm not getting any shoes, we should splurge and get him those awesome ones that he's been looking at for about a year. He tried them on with skinny jeans and a blazer, and man do they look fantastic. Rock star boots! They're a little out of his comfort zone, but I can tell he can't wait to wear them. I'm so happy. Is it weird that I get excited about other people pushing the boundaries of their own fashion range? </p>
