I'm late to this, but I understand the struggle with OTK boots. Although my issues are with heights that make them more mid-knee height, which does not play well with my leg shape. I've given up on OTK boots. </p> <p>I hope these new ones work for you! They are gorgeous. Love the slightly pointy toe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585678 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 14:32:13 +0000 Elizabeth P 1585678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, those look like a PERFECT colour for you.&nbsp; I hope they work out, because you do look good in this style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585677 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 14:31:29 +0000 kkards 1585677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG that new cognac pair are gorgeous. and i think this color will add some contrast that the original pair was missing.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585676 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 14:31:14 +0000 Angie 1585676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm excited to see the next pair, Diane.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585674 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 14:17:57 +0000 Sara L. 1585674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are beautiful boots.&nbsp; I hope they work better - maybe the slight heel will help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585651 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 12:37:47 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1585651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The leather does look gorgeous. &nbsp;I hope they work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585638 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 11:34:22 +0000 Cococat 1585638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're beautiful Diane..such a rich colour.

I know, sorry I didn't do a full body pic, but I had not done my hair or make up and I didn't want to scare the horses :D</p> <p>Ok...so a mini update ladies....I was browsing boots again this morning and happened upon Yoox.com, and, well, these beauties are on their way to me :D&nbsp;Just a shade over the knee, luscious Italian leather, gorgeous rich brown colour, pointy toe, refined shape and a kneehigh/OTK hybrid. Only a smidge higher in the heel than the ones in my photos here, so still flatish, but I think I am in love!!....oh, and nearly 50% off too.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585592 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 07:17:46 +0000 MsMary 1585592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would have liked to see a full- body shot because what I can see looks fab.

Not worth it if you won't wear them though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585523 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 01:48:12 +0000 catgirl 1585523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's my pair with a block heel that I find perfect.&nbsp; I have worn these for 12 hours straight with not a single problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585514 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 01:33:34 +0000 Debora 1585514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diane, they are lovely, but YOU have to love them. This post makes me appreciate the power of photographing outfits. It's such a useful tool. I never realized how useful untili starting documenting my WIWs. Here's hoping another OTK boot will come along that'll make your heart sing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585482 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 23:35:31 +0000 Anonymous 1585482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the thoughts and comments ladies. And thank you for saying they look good even if I feel differently, I appreciate it. Funny how we cant seem to see past a perceived fault/ figure foible etc. I do still love how this style of boot looks on others......perhaps if I come across a boot that has, say, a 2" block heel I may like them more .....and in the meantime do 50 calf raises a day to get some leg shape! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585435 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 20:32:11 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1585435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You get points for trying them, Diane. They are very pretty boots, but if they don't make you feel fab, they should go back. And even more so if you have reservations about the fit. <br />That skirt is just gorgeous! And fits beautifully, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585423 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 19:50:49 +0000 Sara L. 1585423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them but I can understand not liking the look.&nbsp; Your's fit far closer than mine do.&nbsp; I can wear mine with skinnies but they look too loose with tights.&nbsp; Which is fine, I bought them for super cheap because I wasn't sure how much I would wear them.&nbsp; My calves are really narrow so I can't be too picky unless I spend big bucks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585422 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 19:44:52 +0000 catgirl 1585422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them too.&nbsp; This is as good as flat OTKs can look!&nbsp; If you don't like the look, that's one thing, but I don't think you can improve on the fit here.</p> <p>I love my suede OTK boots so much - it's been insanely cold here, and I've worn them all week.&nbsp; They're warm and windproof and I caught a glimpse in a window where my legs looked LONG (miracle of miracles).&nbsp; mine do have a chunky heel so to me they read a bit mod.&nbsp; I wouldn't give up if I were you!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585413 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 18:33:18 +0000 Anonymous 1585413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cross posted, thanks Jules and LBD! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585412 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 18:32:23 +0000 Anonymous 1585412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I would agree that they will look better, and I would like them more over skinnies, or say, leggings...but I wanted them to work with my skirts too and all I see when I look in the mirror when wearing a skirt is cankles! Also my knees rotate inwards and the boots hit just in the spot where my knees go in together and it seems to emphasise that for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>I&nbsp;wouldn't actually keep these boots anyway as after wearing them for an hour and my feet having got warm they felt too tight over my instep, not just width. As the 4.5 is not available anywhere I'm out of luck with this boot.&nbsp; Maybe if I spot some in the new year on deep sale I may consider this style for fun.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585411 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 18:31:59 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1585411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them, I think you look so amazing! &nbsp;BUT, I'm with Suz. &nbsp; If you're not in love, don't keep them. &nbsp; They'll just be an expensive orphan taking up closet real estate.</p> <p>I notice that the style bloggers who wear OTK heeled boots, seem to look less "Pretty Woman", if the boots are suede, well-fitted, and non-black (grey or taupe or burgundy all look fantastic)... and that being said, there are some gorgeous black suede OTK heeled boots that look... not-hooker-ish &nbsp;:D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585410 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 18:31:29 +0000 Jules 1585410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's really hard to tell without a full body pic! But to me, the combo of suede and flat could read a bit costume-y (Robin Hood!). Anyway, you rock knee highs, and maybe a different OTK pair will strike your fancy down the line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585407 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 17:39:56 +0000 Angie 1585407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOOOH. I <b>love</b> them on you, Diane. Good grief. Killer perfect. Have you tried them over skinnies?&nbsp;</p> <p>But you have to love them too. Return them if you're not feeling the vibe.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585406 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 17:38:13 +0000 Anonymous 1585406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all. Interesting yo read your reactions. It's definitely something I see and feel IRL which may not be as apparent in the photos. I think it could be to do with 'structure' i prefer how knee high boots give more structure and you see my leg shape higher up better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585400 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 17:27:32 +0000 Alassë 1585400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great, but if the boots don't feel right to you, good choice letting them go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585392 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 17:07:15 +0000 viva 1585392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. So interesting. I wonder if I would have the same reaction? OTK boots are something I dream about from time to time but I think I might feel the same way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-loving-the-otk-boots-i-tried#post-1585381 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 16:50:27 +0000 Astrid 1585381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see what you mean, I think it would bother me too.
