I guess they might look fun with a mini skirt but you and I are unlikely to wear that, so they are basically a pant boot. If that is okay with you -- why don't you order them to see? At the sale price they are a superb bargain, no question.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly/page/2#post-1318427 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 01:33:54 +0000 Anonymous 1318427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also glad that you are keeping them.&nbsp; We have mostly outdoor fashion boot weather where boots for some sort also help provide warmth.&nbsp; Maybe I should be looking into this length rather than knee high?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly/page/2#post-1318386 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 01:12:26 +0000 CocoLion 1318386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm super late here but am glad you're keeping them. &nbsp;They look better than last year's model. &nbsp;Last year's did not fit as well in the calf.</p> <p>Wishing I had use for something like this… wait… maybe I do!?</p> <p>No No No… Short winters … NO! <br />:-o </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly/page/2#post-1317991 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 19:00:18 +0000 rachylou 1317991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, so I confess to thinking they looked like, um, weatherproof boots. Haha. But they <i>are</i> weatherproof boots. So now everything is right and proper in my mind. Definitely hot.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly/page/2#post-1317884 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 17:30:20 +0000 Lisa 1317884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these and vote keep. &nbsp;In your climate I don't think one can go wrong with lots of boots and even duplicating colors (tall black, short black, bootie black, etc). &nbsp;While there are always colors, I have noticed that far too often the best made boots that are stylish and truly can handle poor weather, only come in black or brown. &nbsp;And I don't mind the midshaft height. &nbsp;I think it's refreshing from a short boot and a tall boot. &nbsp;Plus mid height should also work with a bootcut jean over it, and/or a boyfriend jean tucked into it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly/page/2#post-1317319 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 00:27:36 +0000 san 1317319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great on you and the proportions are good.&nbsp; I hope mine look that good on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly/page/2#post-1317317 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 00:21:35 +0000 Suz 1317317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, Marley, some time I will come to So. Cal and learn the ins and outs of fashion there. I hope!! Ah, what bliss to be able to decide on footwear based purely on your outfit -- rather than the other way around.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for the kind words, all -- I'll keep 'em and see if I can make them work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly/page/2#post-1317313 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 00:13:28 +0000 Thistle 1317313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to the party. :). Sounds like you decided to keep them, and I am sure hey will be workhorses for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly/page/2#post-1317300 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 00:00:50 +0000 MsLuna 1317300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I really like these boots on you! I don't think there's anything off about the proportions or where the boots hit your calves. You were able to create a longer leg line with these, particularly with the black bottoms. I like them - gives your look a casual and slightly tough vibe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly/page/2#post-1317296 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 23:56:59 +0000 Marley 1317296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow - I think I get it!&nbsp; Outdoor fashion boots - perfect!&nbsp; I had never thought about those in-between winter days when its not seriously snowing and blowing - but, its not dry sidewalks, streets, etc.&nbsp;either!&nbsp; I know that I am so "pampered" living in So Cal - when I stayed with my mom (who lives in the mid-west) &nbsp;last winter for 3 months I was completely clueless as to how to dress my feet - both indoors and outdoors!&nbsp; These boots make complete sense to me now Suz - glad you're giving them a whirl!&nbsp; (But, really glad that I don't need to worry<i> my pretty little head </i>about how to survive such extreme weather conditions!)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly/page/2#post-1316753 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 11:00:18 +0000 Inge 1316753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outdoor fashion boot description makes so much sense to me, Suz. And I'm glad you are keeping the Sweeties. I love them on you. Yes, they aren't the most streamlined boots, but that's part of their appeal. I like that they have a moto boot vibe, but the quilting makes it more refined and dressy casual, if you know what I mean. Moto-inspired boots have that slightly bulkier look, and I really like that. Works great with heavier Winter coats and trousers and jeans. They look great with your jeans tucked in, and they will look great with your black trousers too (I also loved how last year's boots looked with the skirt, so I've no doubt you can wear the Sweeties with skirts and dresses too).</p> <p>I think you have just got yourself a super versatile pair of boots! (and you are going to love being able to switch between knee-high and calf-length boots. Yay for variety during the long Winter)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly/page/2#post-1316724 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 07:07:09 +0000 ElleH 1316724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them on you. I wanted to try them on but they look too similar to my Frye Veronica slouch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly/page/2#post-1316706 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 05:20:31 +0000 jackiec 1316706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Logging in quickly to say you MUST keep! Love! I added a Frye pair of similar height a couple years ago and they actually got more wear than my tall boots that year. So versatile. You will love them. Keep for sure!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly/page/2#post-1316698 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 04:28:30 +0000 Gaylene 1316698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Outdoor fashion" boots makes total sense to me, Suz; it's what you wear when you need just a bit of protection from the elements; real winter, on the other hand, tosses fashion out the window because your only concern is staying warm, dry, and upright when you walk outside your house. "Outdoor fashion" boots are our chance to wear "normal" winter boots.</p> <p>These boots will fill that niche, Suz, as long as they thrill your "fashion" side as much as your practical side. They are a bit different than your regular style, which might be making you pause, but the fact that you are drawn enough to order them a second time speaks volumes. I'd say give them a chance to make you happy this winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly/page/2#post-1316683 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 04:01:10 +0000 Debbie 1316683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great on you and will be practical for your weather! I am glad you decided to keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly/page/2#post-1316632 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 03:18:25 +0000 Suz 1316632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>unfrumped,</b> yes -- they are meant to look a bit like a moto boot. That's the inspiration for the design, I'm sure.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Joyce,</b> that is interesting about the stains. And unfortunate! I also wondered if the toe was rounder this year?! But when I look at the online photo it does not seem so. Still, I remember that&nbsp;I immediately liked last year's toe &nbsp;-- and&nbsp; wasn't sure about this year's -- so I suspect you might be right. I'll be curious to know what you decide.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Karie</b> -- that's right. You'rs still super observant, though!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Marley</b> -- in my life, there's no such thing as an "indoor fashion boot." &nbsp;I don't wear boots indoors, period.&nbsp;</p> <p>Seriously...I work at home. My indoor life is pretty much&nbsp;led in slippers!! &nbsp;</p> <p>(Okay, occasionally I might go to the grocery store, the dentist, out to lunch or to the theatre and keep my boots on. But if I go to somebody else's house I'd be taking them off. Just as I would take them off at home.)</p> <p>Because when I do go&nbsp;out, I go out on foot -- walking. I live in a snowy, icy, slushy, cold climate. We have winter from the start of&nbsp;November until the end of April. (Different levels of winter -- but believe me, it's all winter!) That means that in inclement weather (i.e. most weather where I live) my boots get pretty yucky. Meaning nobody wants me tramping into their house wearing them -- least of all me! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Fashion <b>booties </b>are my go-to from September until whenever the snow starts to fly -- some time in early December (if we're lucky). From then on, it's boots all the way until the end of March (or later).&nbsp;</p> <p><b>SNOW</b> boots are Sorels or Kamiks. Boots that take serious serious snow and -40C temperatures. Those are for deep winter.&nbsp;</p> <p>So the Sweeties are, I guess what you might call <b>OUTDOOR</b>&nbsp;"fashion" boots of a sort to the likes of me. You know, for those days when it is not actively snowing, the sidewalks have been plowed, it's not seriously icy or slushy, but it might snow or sleet or rain while I am outdoors. And when&nbsp;I want to look okay, and not like I am wearing actual gear.&nbsp;</p> <p>Does that make any sense? I suspect it's like talking another language....</p> <p><b>Beth Ann</b>, you're right. And <b>Alana</b>, who knows if they are "in." But if the shoe works.... &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly/page/2#post-1316620 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 03:06:33 +0000 Jaime 1316620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I am glad that is all decided so I can just admire. I have a feeling they will be a workhorse for you Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly#post-1316603 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 02:43:39 +0000 unfrumped 1316603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look good. It is a kind of moto vibe. I think a little chunkiness comes with the territory for the functionality, and the eye adjusts to expect that, especially in context( winter in Canada).<br /> I'll bet once you have them you'll reach for them often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly#post-1316594 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 02:34:35 +0000 Joyce B 1316594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great on you and the recommendations from people who wore them last Winter carry a lot of weight. You have to be happy with them and ultimately only you can tell if they are right for you.<br /> They are very similar to last year's boots but I think the Sweeties seem to have a rounder toe.<br /> Now I have to finish deciding about mine... They are comfortable but the top of the boots stained my stockings and that is something I don't like... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly#post-1316591 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 02:31:40 +0000 Karie 1316591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, yes, I had the boots mixed up - the ones from this year have the buckle on the back. I like that better too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly#post-1316587 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 02:27:22 +0000 Marley 1316587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember when you tried these last year, they confused me - and they confuse me now! &nbsp;Are you planning to wear these as snow boots? - or indoor fashion boots? &nbsp;If snow boots, I think they're fine - but if fashion boots, then I think they look really bulky and too much like snow boots! &nbsp;Hahahaha! &nbsp;I'm confusing myself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly#post-1316583 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 02:26:28 +0000 Alana in Canada 1316583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, I am so glad you are keeping these! I am glad to hear this height is back in style, too. I had a pair this height for many years--until they just fell apart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly#post-1316575 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 02:14:14 +0000 Beth Ann 1316575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suspect you've decided to keep.&nbsp; I was going to add that it's telling that you bought them <i>twice</i>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly#post-1316567 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 02:05:03 +0000 Suz 1316567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie. As ever, your approval seals the deal! &nbsp;:)</p> <p>Karie, you are&nbsp; <b>SOOOOOOO</b> observant!!!</p> <p>And so right!! The buckle is on the back in this year's version. (Is this like those "name five things that are different in the photo" things we give to little kids???)&nbsp;</p> <p>You know what? I actually like them better with the buckle on the back (which is this year's version.) So maybe that's why I unconsciously held out last year. Now I have the perfect version for me. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly#post-1316545 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 01:39:51 +0000 Angie 1316545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer Slam dunk to my eye. I like all the ways you've styled them, Suz.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly#post-1316533 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 01:27:23 +0000 Karie 1316533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only real difference that I can see is that the buckle is on the side in the new boots, and it appears to be at the back in the boots from last year. I think they look good with your jeans which, as you stated, is what you would mostly wear them with. What color coats do you have? They look good with the coat you are wearing in the pic. I wouldn't go any shorter in a boot because of walking in the snow - any shorter and the snow will get inside. And I totally get you about not wanting to fuss with zippers when coming inside - I hate having to do that. Slip on snow boots that are gear but don't look like gear - a total win in my book.&nbsp;</p> <p>Do you have coats that would look better with brown boots? I am assuming these don't come in brown. Is there room for two boots if you find a pair in brown? As long as you're OK with the color, I think these boots are a yes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly#post-1316522 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 01:12:51 +0000 Suz 1316522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Sveta...this is exactly it. And I am not sure. But I guess they are so practical that it's worth experimenting to find out what I think.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly#post-1316521 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 01:11:11 +0000 Suz 1316521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, <b>DonnaF</b>!! You'd have to be a super-generous parent. Even the sale price is a bit steep! But yeah...I think they might be worth it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks, everyone, for your input. I think maybe this is a case of my eye needing to adjust. <b>Parsley,</b> your experience travelling with similar boots is telling (I travel a <b>LOT</b>), and it's also interesting to note that yes, as <b>Firecracker </b>says, I've been thinking of them ever since last winter or I would not have re-ordered. <b>Marianna</b>, it really helps to hear how they served you last winter! <b>Shannon </b>and <b>LisaP</b>, as 'Peggers" you two know serious winter, so your views hold weight! And&nbsp;<b>Mona</b>, I think you're right -- the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for my lifestyle. So this year, I think I will <b>KEEP</b>! &nbsp;:)&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for the help -- I will experiment with them a bit and keep track of how often they get worn! &nbsp;This does not rule out a brown or taupe weather proof bootie, after all. My other footwear purchases will be a bare minimum this year -- I really stocked up on footwear last year. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly#post-1316519 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 01:06:55 +0000 Sveta 1316519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look fine with darker pants and jeans and OK with the skirt and black tights. Honestly I am not in love with the style itself (which was one of the reasons I returned them yesterday). Ideally I would prefer a lower shaft - bootie style - or this height but more fitting on the leg - but it would mean a zipper or laces&nbsp;and you do not want to fasten those boots&nbsp;as I understand. </p> <p>As casual mid-calf boots go they are great and worth considering <b>if you like the style</b>. Their practicality is beyond question! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-round-4-sweetor-silly#post-1316516 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 00:55:22 +0000 DonnaF 1316516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a boot wearer, but my DD swears by mid-calf boots for shorties because she feels they don't overwhelm or dominate the way that tall boots can.&nbsp; These look great on you!&nbsp; [And if I were a generous parent, I'd probably get these for her.&nbsp; Ah, but I'm not.] </p>
