I love those booties, and after reading everything above, I wear a size 9 shoe and&nbsp;have 9" ankles, and have been searching for a brown/gold pair of booties that are not loose at the top. Sounds like these would fit the bill!</p> <p>But I don't really need boots/shoes right now...I am having foot surgery on my right foot&nbsp;in a month and a half, and I will be wearing that ugly black orthopedic boot-thing for about 6 weeks....oh what to do, what to do... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otbt-boots-quick-review#post-1023578 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 13:19:08 +0000 Anonymous 1023578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look perfect for you, Una, and comfortable too! I'd love to be a lemming, but the heel is still too high, if not for comfort, then for my pants hemmed for flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otbt-boots-quick-review#post-1023552 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 11:39:52 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1023552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look of those booties and am very tempted.&nbsp; I find I either get the flowerpot look or the chafing because the booties rub at the front of my ankle when I walk but I think I would have been a lemming if I hadn't bought three pairs of booties last winter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otbt-boots-quick-review#post-1023436 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 02:39:59 +0000 nancylee 1023436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super gorgeous and super tempting, but I've already bought Okala pumps and JCrew chelsea boots for fall and I have to draw the line somewhere. &nbsp;</p> <p>I'll just live vicariously through you, Una. &nbsp;Glad they're proving their worth already. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otbt-boots-quick-review#post-1023418 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 02:18:25 +0000 Suz 1023418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting, Marley. How would that work, I wonder? </p> <p>I definitely have short calves. My feet are 6.5 or 7, depending. Usually 7 for boots. Which is sort of average for my height, I guess?&nbsp;</p> <p>Hmmm. Proportions are the most confusing thing ever.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otbt-boots-quick-review#post-1023401 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 01:35:15 +0000 Marley 1023401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i></i>Interesting!&nbsp; I just measured my ankle and calf.&nbsp; My ankles are 8 1/4" and my calf is 12 1/2" - but I have a skinny foot (low volume) - size 7 1/2.&nbsp; Many, many shoes look absolutely awful on me - especially flats.&nbsp; <br />I'd be all over these boots if they were silver, rather than gold!<br />Suz - I think the <i>length </i>of your leg from knee to ankle also influences whether or not you get the flowerpot look when you wear ankle boots - regardless of the measurements of ankle or calf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otbt-boots-quick-review#post-1023366 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 00:50:57 +0000 rae 1023366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I'd wear with socks, too, but with all that running around I get pretty clammy. :(</p> <p>There are a lot of factors in footwear. Natalie's foot might be flatter in the instep, but I think I'd have to see them side by side. I have a very flat looking and bony foot (despite a high arch), and there are definitely some styles that look weird on me, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otbt-boots-quick-review#post-1023364 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 00:47:12 +0000 Suz 1023364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh oh...that's a bummer, Rae....</p> <p>Of course in Alaska, Una's going to wear them more with hose/ socks so it probably won't matter to her.&nbsp;</p> <p>Okay - I am completely and irrevocably befuddled by all of this bootie measurement stuff then. Angie had mentioned once that the shafts were different (height and width) depending on the foot size with knee-high&nbsp;boots, but maybe it ain't so with booties. So what gives with those Munros? They look completely different on Nat and on me. I DO have a higher volume foot than she does with a higher arch. But is that all it is?&nbsp;</p> <p>No...it's the shortness of my darned legs. I suspect.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otbt-boots-quick-review#post-1023358 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 00:33:28 +0000 rae 1023358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ruh Roh. I assumed a brand that claims to make shoes for travel would line in a breathable material, but it's PU. I may have to return these on account of sweaty feet. :_( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otbt-boots-quick-review#post-1023338 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 00:15:10 +0000 rae 1023338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie, mine are 9" and Una and I&nbsp;both fit those Gidigio boots. Here's a pic of them on my feet. Also a quick pick of them in a full body (albeit workout wear) shot, since I think you are a bit taller than me with similar sized feet.&nbsp;</p> <p>They just came in today, and they feel wonderful after standing all day. These will replace my DIY bronze booties (#3), which sadly didn't breathe at all and promoted feelings of toe rot. </p> <p>ETA: Suz, I have a *gasp* size 9 (!!) foot, and 9" ankles, and the opening fits me very similarly to Una. o_0</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otbt-boots-quick-review#post-1023336 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 00:14:13 +0000 Suz 1023336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This ankle/ calf measurement thing is fascinating.&nbsp;</p> <p>My calves are 13.5 and my ankles are 8". &nbsp; Yet Natalie's legs look SOOOOO much more slender and delicate than mine. What the heck? Is it just because she is taller and longer legged than I am?&nbsp;</p> <p>The Munro booties looked like flowerpots on her feet and fit mine like a glove.&nbsp;</p> <p>Okay, people -- a warning. I think I know what part of the issue is. I -- and especially Una -- have relatively small feet for our height. So the shafts of these booties fits more snugly.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you have a long narrow foot, you will take a bigger size, and it will be correspondingly bigger around. Does that makes sense?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otbt-boots-quick-review#post-1023318 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 23:45:07 +0000 Diana 1023318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am tempted but since I'm pretty sure I'm keeping the EF booties I really shouldn't buy yet another pair. </p> <p>As an aside, I have 15" calves and 7.5" (8" on the left which is permanently swollen from past sprains) ankles! No wonder I have so many flowerpot/galoshes problems. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otbt-boots-quick-review#post-1023247 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 22:34:48 +0000 Beth 1023247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, where are the pictures? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otbt-boots-quick-review#post-1023227 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 22:14:26 +0000 pastrygirl 1023227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too high for me, though I do love them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otbt-boots-quick-review#post-1023216 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 22:05:10 +0000 goldenpig 1023216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thanks Una!

My finger is twitching on the trigger! They would go perfectly with my gold lame blouse! Booties are tricky on me though--I suffer from flowerpot syndrome. How wide are the ankles? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otbt-boots-quick-review#post-1023075 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 19:46:12 +0000 cciele 1023075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just put them on my wishlist </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otbt-boots-quick-review#post-1023047 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 19:02:11 +0000 catgirl 1023047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>here is the link:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/otbt-bexar-bootie/3512087?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=2375500&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=835&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-undefined_2_A" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ot.....efined_2_A</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otbt-boots-quick-review#post-1023046 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 19:01:13 +0000 catgirl 1023046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I'm on Team Wear and I wore these today for a MOTG outfit with bootcuts.&nbsp; They are incredibly comfy, a good height, and not noisy (walking around DS's school halls!).&nbsp; No break-in pains so far. &nbsp;The color is fairly subdued for a metallic.&nbsp; I would say they are TTS given that i always size up a half-size for width.&nbsp; IMHO they are a real find and will be very versatile.&nbsp; They have that unique "statement essential-neutral" combination that I'm discovering is my best bet for becoming a workhorse.</p> <p>Anyone a lemming? </p>
