That seals the deal. If you thought the Timberland boots looked bad I know you would tell me. </p> <p>I can't wait to wear the Lucky Brand with my white BFs (to shamelessly copy your fab outfit). It's still in the 90s here, though, so I'll have to wait a bit longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-what-do-you-think-of-these-two-pairs-of-booties#post-1358212 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 14:32:30 +0000 Angie 1358212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Each bootie serves a different function, and also suggest you keep both.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-what-do-you-think-of-these-two-pairs-of-booties#post-1358168 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 13:37:12 +0000 JAileen 1358168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Ironkurtin. You make a very good point. I think I'll keep both. Except for Neel, no one is concerned about the flowerpot effect, so maybe it's not that bad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-what-do-you-think-of-these-two-pairs-of-booties#post-1358142 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 12:56:49 +0000 ironkurtin 1358142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these boots serve different functions.&nbsp; I don't believe the Timberlands are meant to be worn with skirts, for example.&nbsp; If you like them both, I believe you'd be reaching for them for different reasons so it wouldn't necessarily be a duplication. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-what-do-you-think-of-these-two-pairs-of-booties#post-1358141 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 12:52:31 +0000 JAileen 1358141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Dianthus. My life is very casual, and I do like the idea of hop in and go boots, which the Timberland would be.</p> <p>Suz, I think you've described how the Timberland boot might be used. I think when I ordered them I thought they were waterproof, and was disappointed to realize they weren't, but we have many more days when it's dry than when it's snowy - this is a desert, after all.</p> <p>Thank you, Shevia. It turns out they're not waterproof, but the sole seems more secure if it's icy.</p> <p>Thank you, Thistle. I think the Timberland is more comfortable. I was worried about the flowerpot effect, but maybe it's not that bad? I do think my feet look better in the Lucky Brand. They don't look as clunky, or as long. We ladies with big feet are always conscious of that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-what-do-you-think-of-these-two-pairs-of-booties#post-1358125 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 12:26:00 +0000 Thistle 1358125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both pairs. For me, they would both serve a similar function. </p> <p>Are you primarily planning to wear them with trousers? If so, I think either would work as the shaft will be tucked under the pants. However, for more versatility, the first pair would be slightly better.</p> <p>In my world, as they really are so close, the more comfortable pair would win. My fussy feet have a great deal of say in footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-what-do-you-think-of-these-two-pairs-of-booties#post-1358124 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 12:25:07 +0000 Jaime 1358124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer #1 on your foot, but if the Timberland is more weather proof it will be useful for reasons like Suz listed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-what-do-you-think-of-these-two-pairs-of-booties#post-1358120 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 12:21:02 +0000 Suz 1358120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are both casual booties but #1 is less casual than #2. #1 is "smart casual" (or has smart casual potential) and #2 is just plain casual.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would liken these to my Stuart Weitzman chelsea boots vs. my Blundstones (before my daughter absconded with them they were mine, that is...now, alas, not.)&nbsp;</p> <p>The first pair looks really nice on you and will go with jeans and pants. Maybe skirts if you want to and style them well.&nbsp;</p> <p>The second pair is a gad-around boot for poor weather and super casual days. A dog-walking boot (maybe), a walk in the park boot, a pull it on fast and get out the door boot for errands, a visit somebody's farm boot. I always need something like this in my life.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-what-do-you-think-of-these-two-pairs-of-booties#post-1358086 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 11:30:50 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1358086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are quite different in terms of the level of casual with #2 being quite casual. &nbsp;If you have need for that type of boot for weekends/errands etc, and they are comfortable, I would probably keep them. &nbsp;I always need something to fill that hole but it is cold and snowy here for months.</p> <p>I think the first pair looks really nice on you and like Neel, agree that they could be worn with almost anything. &nbsp;Nice color and sleek style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-what-do-you-think-of-these-two-pairs-of-booties#post-1358034 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 06:08:25 +0000 JAileen 1358034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Neel. Yes, stompy. Very good description. I loved Angie's recent outfit, and I have those same white BFs. I just can't wear any boots until it cools down a bit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-what-do-you-think-of-these-two-pairs-of-booties#post-1358031 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 05:59:54 +0000 Neel 1358031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for #1. It looks lovely on your feet and is a winner by miles to me! #2 is OK and I find it a bit stompy and then there is the flower pot issue.</p> <p>I would wear #1 with everything. Skinnies, BFs rolled (like Angie's recent WIW) and flares too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-what-do-you-think-of-these-two-pairs-of-booties#post-1358029 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 05:52:00 +0000 JAileen 1358029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought two pairs of booties, Lucky Brand Basel Booties in Toffee, and Timberland Savin Hill Chelsea Boots in Cognac. I went to Dillards to try the Sam Edelman Petty that I love so much. They showed a Cognac version on their website.</p> <p>Alas, not only did our local Dillards not have the Cognac version in stock, but the taupe ones they had did not fit very well. I was very disappointed. However they had a similar bootie, the Lucky Brand Basel. It felt better.</p> <p>Later I found a Chelsea style boot on Sierra Trading Post's website, Timberland Savin Hill Chelsea boot. I got them today. They feel good, but they might have the flowerpot syndrome. Do you think they look too bad?</p> <p>So my questions:</p> <p>1) Are these booties too similar in function? Both are short, and are a similar color. The Lucky Brand seems a little dressier, though.</p> <p>2) Does the Timberland look okay on my foot and leg or does it look like a flowerpot? Sorry for the low quality picture. My mirror doesn't have good lighting.</p> <p>3) How should these booties be styled? What kind of pants should I wear with them?</p> <p>4) Do you think I should keep both of them? If not, which should I keep? </p>
