Skirt only boots are fine! It means the fit is so good. cobaltblue on "My Duo boots arrived!

I've never heard of return shipping so high. Surely being in Alaska can't make that much difference in this Fedex-goes-everywhere world?! I take it the ankle issue was a killer? catgirl on "My Duo boots arrived!

I don't want them but to pay that much to return them is insane. Don't know if It's just Alaska but be warned! I'm going to have to call customer service to see if there's any hope.

And for myself I hate that look. But I didn't have time to comment last night, so I bookmarked this so I wouldn't forget about it. I just read through all of the comments now and was surprised that no one else was noticing it and so I was telling myself that I was being picky - and then I just read your last comment! Yes, I see loose bagginess around the ankles! catgirl on "My Duo boots arrived!

I'll add a picture in a minute. Aida on "My Duo boots arrived! Keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-duo-boots-arrived#post-423294 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 22:50:04 +0000 Aida 423294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Definitely keep!! Since you have another pair that can be worn with skinnies, AND if you have none that can be worn with dresses/skirts, that's totally fine in my book. If you got some really lightweight denim leggings I bet those could be tucked into these, if you really wanted to tuck pants into them; those GAP black skinny pants may work, too. catgirl on "My Duo boots arrived!

The shipment took a really long time, but other than that, no problems. It looks like they're keepers so I won't have to deal The boots are interesting and seem well made - they have a fuzzy fabric lining, not heavy but kind of cozy. I still haven't worn them out of the office - I want to make sure they are really comfortable. It is a strange feeling to have a boot snug around my calf, not uncomfortable but I'm just more aware of them. Kari on "My Duo boots arrived!

I don't think I'll do it this year, but probably in 2012 I am thinking about possibly getting a pair made through Duo. I've heard mixed things about the customer service experience.

Aziraphale on "My Duo boots arrived! Keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-duo-boots-arrived#post-423043 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 16:32:14 +0000 Aziraphale 423043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Definitely keep! Those are awesome boots. I have plenty of pairs of boots that I only wear with skirts -- in fact, I rarely wear skirts with anything other than boots, unless I'm going to something fancy. The only boots I tuck my skinnies into are either ankle-length regular boots or wellies. One exception: I have a pair of jeggings which can go into boots. They're not much thicker than thick tights, even though they are constructed like regular jeans (you know, with real pockets, zips and seams). If you really, really want to be able to wear pants in your new boots, you could try jeggings. goldenpig on "My Duo boots arrived!

Maybe they'll stretch enough for skinnies, but even if not, you should just wear with skirts! Lisa on "My Duo boots arrived! Keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-duo-boots-arrived#post-422883 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 13:37:22 +0000 Lisa 422883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Keep! These fit perfectly! You wear plently of skirts and dresses to keep a pair of non jean tucking boots. Astrid on "My Duo boots arrived!

I think it's okay that you can only wear them with skirts. Deborah on "My Duo boots arrived!

I can't tuck into my two pairs of tall boots - it's just too snug and uncomfortable, so I am planning to buy some boots that are looser in the calf for this. You already have some, so keep these for skirts/dresses! Vani on "My Duo boots arrived!

Carole on "My Duo boots arrived! Keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-duo-boots-arrived#post-422607 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 02:05:05 +0000 Carole 422607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ "they seem to fit perfectly everywhere"! You'd be crazy no to keep these! The fact they are snug in the calf is probably another benefit, they most certainly will give a little over time. Good for you! You deserve great boots that fit! catgirl on "My Duo boots arrived! Keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-duo-boots-arrived#post-422591 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 01:49:56 +0000 catgirl 422591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jonesy, I may be able to later on - this is the first time I've felt anything fit closely around my calves (I was trying to "suck them in"!)... I think they will give a little as the back has little elastic godets or whatever the heck those are called. Jonesy on "My Duo boots arrived! Keep or return?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-duo-boots-arrived#post-422586 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 01:48:06 +0000 Jonesy 422586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They look great--fit is awesome! Are you sure you can't tuck leans/skinnies into them? My new tall boots are very snug on my calves and I can still wear thin, narrow-cut jeans tucked into them. Kappy on "My Duo boots arrived!

And if you must tuck, wear those amazing gray ones. Brenda is right; boots that work for both skirts and jeans are almost creatures of myth. RandomThoughts (Andrea) on "My Duo boots arrived!

I have a pair of boots that are 'skirt only'. Suits me fine.
