They are good boots, and I can see why you wore them a lot. The heel is current, but the toe is not. I have seen this heel lately, for example on <a href="http://www.spartoo.co.uk/High-boots-women-sty-10217-10011-0-red.php" rel="nofollow">some Hispanitas</a>, but the toe is more important to look current. That's what drives me nuts about fashion! One minute it looks amazing, the next, you're embarrassed to be seen! WTF?... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-burgundy-boots---kt#post-1014580 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 11:39:42 +0000 Deborah 1014580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are lovely boots but something is saying to me, pass them on. &nbsp;I can't put my finger on it, but there is something about them that does suggest they are a little dated and perhaps not quite a 10 for your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-burgundy-boots---kt#post-1014538 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 10:03:45 +0000 Jjsloane 1014538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I had these same boots in black and loved them to death. I don't think they are 10s anymore, but wearable. I'm much preferring burgundy in suede for boots this year.&nbsp;<br />Not pointy, but I like these<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sundancecatalog.com/product/abrielle+boots.do?sortby=ourPicks">http://www.sundancecatalog.com.....y=ourPicks</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-burgundy-boots---kt#post-1014526 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 08:35:34 +0000 rute 1014526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>eh eh jurocha I understand you, I'm a 34/35 European size and it's such a pain!</p> <p>Burgundy is everywhere this season, pointy toes also, so,&nbsp;I don't know how, but this boot seems a bit dated to my eye. I guess pointy toes are back but the shape is different (not so pointy) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-burgundy-boots---kt#post-1014520 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 08:29:02 +0000 jurocha 1014520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another one thinking "send them to me". I am surprised you decided to let them go. As a 35/36 European Size (36 is already me using shoes bigger and ruining my future in name of options/easiness to find), I always value boots with elegant heels... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-burgundy-boots---kt#post-1014405 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 01:45:51 +0000 Janet 1014405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I will let these go. I would love tall burgundy boots but I'm not excited to wear these. They had their time. Thanks for helping me pinpoint my hesitation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-burgundy-boots---kt#post-1014392 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 01:38:34 +0000 Jaime 1014392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They don't look painfully dated to me at all. I think there are new shoes out there with that heel. Keep if you need a support piece but not if you want the star of the show? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-burgundy-boots---kt#post-1014391 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 01:36:52 +0000 annagybe 1014391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Toss. It's a true&nbsp;pointy toe this season, not a snipped toe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-burgundy-boots---kt#post-1014385 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 01:33:09 +0000 Pawprints 1014385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A beautiful shoe in their own way. I was thinking "send them to me."</p> <p>But they don't add any Now to a look, and I think you're looking for that. You don't seem to be that excited about them, more like fond of the years they served you well and were of that moment. </p> <p>If you're not looking at them and longing for cool enough weather to pull them on and trot out in them, I would make room for something else. Or just make room. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-burgundy-boots---kt#post-1014381 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 01:26:31 +0000 Adelfa 1014381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see why you wore them so much, but I think their time is past especially given that you have lots of options. The snip toe, the shape of the heel, the ripples at the ankles--you can do better. Even the particular shade of burgundy doesn't seem current to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-burgundy-boots---kt#post-1014367 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 01:11:29 +0000 Anonymous 1014367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll leave the analysis to the experts, but I like these on you. No idea if they look dated this season.<br /> They look a little like these:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/l-k-bennett-bonnie-boot-online-only/3535953?origin=category-personalizedsort&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=8838&#038;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-2_25_A" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/l-.....s-_-2_25_A</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/miu-miu-pointed-toe-boot/3538194?origin=category-personalizedsort&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=5178&#038;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-5_17_D" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/mi.....s-_-5_17_D</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-burgundy-boots---kt#post-1014362 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 01:07:21 +0000 Raisin 1014362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see how these would fall into the category of current, <i>technically</i>. &nbsp;They do have the streamlined look, and pointy toe. &nbsp;But there is something about the toe I really don't like. &nbsp;It's like elongated, pointy, and looks sort of witchy. &nbsp;I think you should treat yourself to new fall boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-burgundy-boots---kt#post-1014328 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 00:40:38 +0000 Janet 1014328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Doing a little pre-fall closet cleaning and ran across some old things I haven't worn in years but kept for various reasons. </p> <p>I kept these Franco Sarto burgundy boots because I love the color, they're comfy, and they held up beautifully even though I wore them a lot. They mostly got worn with bootcut jeans &amp; trousers, this was probably 6-7 years ago? </p> <p>Pointy toes and more delicate heels and soles are coming back around, but I'm not sure these look current. The toe shape gives me pause. </p> <p>What do you think? Keep or donate? If keep, how would you style them for maximum current style? </p>
