I did end up sending them back because the foot was too tight ( I had ordered a 6.5 as I normally wear) I would size up 1/2 size. These also have a low heel.</p> <p>In the end I decided on other boots which I would recommend but the heel is higher than you want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-how-do-these-strike-you#post-532921 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:30:15 +0000 Sunita 532921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, Queen Mum, I don't think these are dressy enough. I actually prefer your current boots to the ones at Zappos.</p> <p>Believe me, I share your frustration over finding the perfect pair of black dressy boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-how-do-these-strike-you#post-532892 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:41:57 +0000 Queen Mum 532892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una- dressy-ish, not overtly dressy. Like I said, dressier than my current black boots which are great with jeans and to add edge to a dress, but I'm not always feeling good about wearing them with dresses...kindof like they are my only option, so I'm making do. Heaven forbid that it comes to that!<br /> here are some pics. It is so hard to capture black in photos, but perhaps you get an idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-how-do-these-strike-you#post-532882 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:32:28 +0000 Carole 532882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like these boots, but after reading everyone else's responses, I can see how a boot without embellishments would be more versatile for dressier occasions. Those Franco's are fab, but I for one stick to my guns about heel height and so should you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-how-do-these-strike-you#post-532875 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:19:48 +0000 catgirl 532875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dressy-ish or dressy? The buckles are great to my eye, but if you want real dressy they may not cut it. Love the boots regardless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-how-do-these-strike-you#post-532865 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:07:21 +0000 Queen Mum 532865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura- I've looked at those, but not had them on. I am really trying to keep the heel to no more than 2 1/2 inches. I can do a 3 inch heel, but it's pushing it. Granted, these are only $99,but my thought was that if I invest in a pair of boots, I need to know that the heel will work for me for several years...and I'm not getting any younger and my feet aren't getting any less fussy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-how-do-these-strike-you#post-532857 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:58:12 +0000 Laura 532857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about the Franco Sartos? $99 and super sleek. Pretty good on the comfort front, too.</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/franco-sarto-yonkers-stretch-boot/3184924?origin=keywordsearch&#038;resultback=210" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/fr.....ltback=210</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-how-do-these-strike-you#post-532823 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:29:02 +0000 Nakidra 532823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they'll add the edge that you're looking for and the buckles add a nice little detail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-how-do-these-strike-you#post-532808 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:14:24 +0000 Jjsloane 532808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look of them except the buckles. I've ruined more tights on a pair of boots I have with buckles and the ones you've posted, while the buckle seems to help with the calf adjustment the tails look like they would stick out too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-how-do-these-strike-you#post-532796 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:04:00 +0000 Queen Mum 532796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yes Mo, I'm looking for dressy-ish. Right now my only black boots are my engineer style boots. They do fine when I want to add edge, but sometimes I feel the need to be more refined.<br /> Thanks for weighing in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-how-do-these-strike-you#post-532785 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:47:19 +0000 Anonymous 532785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not loving them QM. The side buckles are not my cuppa. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-how-do-these-strike-you#post-532768 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:29:19 +0000 Mo 532768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I'm seeing the right boots, the buckles detract from the sleek factor. You are looking for dressy black boots, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-how-do-these-strike-you#post-532762 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:26:51 +0000 Queen Mum 532762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>okay, now the link is fixed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-how-do-these-strike-you#post-532761 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:24:07 +0000 Queen Mum 532761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do these look too unstructured to be my dressy boots? What are your initial thoughts? Of course nothing answers that question better than ordering them, I realize but would like your thoughts first.</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/gabor-gabor-36-596-black" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/gabor-gabor-36-596-black</a> </p>
