Not a trendy block heel, but the almond toe is comfortable but still refined. Pointy boots most always are pinchy on me if there is any heel height to add pressure.<br /> I would say keep looking and hold steady for the general look plus the right fit. More styles keep coming out later in the season. Also sometimes a new color will be added to an existing style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-refinedpolished-burgundy-ankle-boots#post-1741543 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 03:15:08 +0000 Keix 1741543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I peeked in your Finds and see that you've found the Marc Fisher Chelsea booties already. I bought a pair in olive green suede last year and they are among my most-worn and most-complimented booties. Super comfortable too. I am considering duplicating (although a lot of places are sold out of the dark burgundy/berry suede now, boo). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-refinedpolished-burgundy-ankle-boots#post-1741494 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 00:36:05 +0000 Angie 1741494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 best too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-refinedpolished-burgundy-ankle-boots#post-1741361 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 20:17:24 +0000 Chris987 1741361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smitttie, high five on raging against the universe! I just found 7 more pairs for considerations, which I put into my finds, check it out if you want. Maybe the full supply is just showing up now. I think you are right about how to define refined. </p> <p>Janet, thanks. I have loved 9 west boots in the past so that could be a good option. i think I once bought duplicates in multiple colors of an ankle boot from that brand...had forgotten it until now. </p> <p>Thanks Deb, my size is sold out on DSW but that's a good contender! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-refinedpolished-burgundy-ankle-boots#post-1741357 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 20:10:19 +0000 deb 1741357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought these last year and love them.</p> <p><a href="http://www.dsw.com/shoe/nine+west+entity+bootie?prodId=355867" rel="nofollow">http://www.dsw.com/shoe/nine+w.....dId=355867</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-refinedpolished-burgundy-ankle-boots#post-1741330 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 19:28:19 +0000 Janet 1741330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Halogen ones do seem the best for the refined look you want, so it's a shame the fit isn't right. </p> <p>Nine West made a nice-looking pair last year. I'll see if I can find a link if they're still available. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-refinedpolished-burgundy-ankle-boots#post-1741303 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 18:32:32 +0000 Anonymous 1741303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know about the hunt for refined burgundy booties. The universe is against me (and you) on this one.</p> <p>I love the halogens. They are indeed the most refined, for the reasons you cite. I'm so sorry the pointy toe is too pointy! </p> <p>Refined is even-toned leather, thin-ish sole, and a slim look. I think suede can be refined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-refinedpolished-burgundy-ankle-boots#post-1741301 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 18:21:31 +0000 Chris987 1741301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I live in a 4-season climate and wear boots in three of those seasons. I could easily wear JUST boots from October through April although I don’t go quite that far. When I look at my bootie collection (aka ankle boots), I see a very small collection, mostly black, some western and classic styles, a little suede. I want to add "refined" style(s) next. I'm looking first for a dark red or burgundy pair. Below are three I’ve recently received for consideration and my thoughts about them…<i><b>would love you hear your thoughts about how to identify a bootie as “refined” and any other suggestions! &nbsp; </b></i></p> <p>The black and cognac ones are what I already have .I'm not into cropped pants right now so I'm not looking for mid-calf booties although I might consider them if the perfect pair came along</p> <p>1. Halogen – &nbsp;this one seems refined to me because of the glossy leather and the dark stacked heel and to a lesser extent the pointy toe. I really like it. Unfortunately, the front squeezes my toes in a painful and deal breaking way, but I think the style is a good representation of what I want. Tried two diff sizes but both have the same toe-squeezing issue.</p> <p>2 &nbsp;BP. This boot is not as refined, in part because it’s a rough leather, and also I think the woodgrain heel also makes it a little less refined. Maybe the round toe also makes it feel less refined. Super comfortable but a lot like what I already have except for the color. I could easily just keep this one....:-) </p> <p>3 The Bella Vita looks a little more “tough” or outdoorsy due to it’s shape and the suede collar. Doesn't feel very refined to me. </p> <p>So, the Halogen is really the only one that fits the descriptors I'm looking for but the fit is a no-go. I've seen some nice boots in Angie's top pics recently but none of them are available in burgundy... so the shopping continues...:-) </p>
