I am giving up on the tan knee boots for now. Good luck </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219753 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 01:35:54 +0000 Isabel 219753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, there is a warehouse in Danvers, MA ( not too far from Boston )that carries a lot of Fidji. </p> <p>The family that owns the company is very nice. You could try emailing them to find out if they could get you a pair. I know that they take returns. They once found a pair for me and offered to let me try them on in the warehouse before commiting. I ended up finding them somewhere else, but the owner was so incredibly helpful and nice !</p> <p><a href="http://shoeswomenlove.com/index.php?page=shop.browse&#038;category_id=2&#038;option=com_virtuemart&#038;Itemid=15&#038;vmcchk=1&#038;Itemid=15" rel="nofollow">http://shoeswomenlove.com/inde.....;Itemid=15</a></p> <p>Mae - BTW, if they make it to Jan. 2, I am going to try them. I LOVE them but I am on SYC for now. ( It gives me a chance to save up and buy something fabulous ! ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219751 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 01:33:47 +0000 marianna 219751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava is right -- no size 43 in black. I put Sveta on a wait-list though, just in case they are reordered or someone returns one. I will get a notification if it becomes available.</p> <p>There is ONE size 43 in red though.</p> <p>Sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219718 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 00:57:24 +0000 Sveta 219718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie - you are giving me hope :-). Do you know this brand? Are they comfy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219717 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 00:54:55 +0000 Angie 219717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to be the odd duck out - I vote the Bella Vita - Raptor. Good shape for a shapely calf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219653 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 21:57:02 +0000 Sveta 219653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Jenava! It is sad - I really like them. On the other hand it maybe too devastating to get them and then they do not fit - just trying to see a silver lining here :-)<br /> Thanks for checking for me! The hunt continues! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219609 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 21:10:41 +0000 Jenava 219609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, bad news. I checked inventory/on order and there aren't any re-orders of this boot...there is one in stock at the web warehouse but it is listed at not sellable. )-: So sad. I'm sure Marianna will find the same thing...but fingers crossed that someone will return a pair! Or, maybe Marianna can check with the warehouse and find out why it's not sellable... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219527 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 17:40:40 +0000 Barbara 219527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, The Fidjis are fierce! I might have to have them myself now.....in black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219522 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 17:37:24 +0000 Sparky 219522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chiming in late ~ Sveta, those Fidji boots best meet your criteria and I bet would look awesome on you if they fit. Of course, go ahead and use my address to order them if Marianna finds them in stock and I'll add them to the pile in the dining room. :)</p> <p>I was also going to suggest the Munro booties that Jenava suggested. They meet your criteria and come in a million different sizes and widths. I tried them on during NAS and loved the fit ~ soooo comfortable. I didn't keep them only b/c I am still not used to the wide gaping at the ankles. It's clearly the way they are supposed to fit but I am just not there yet with my style. I think they could look great on you though, so keep them in mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219464 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 15:39:01 +0000 marianna 219464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's my pleasure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219461 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 15:33:33 +0000 Sveta 219461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Marianna, what would I do without you?:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219460 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 15:32:54 +0000 marianna 219460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds good! I will check to see if the company has any in black in size 43. And I'm almost positive that since we're shipping to a US address the shipping should be free. I really hope I can help you find them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219454 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 15:25:49 +0000 Jonesy 219454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just *knew* Marianna would come through for you in your bootie quest! I hope it works out for you. You have some great leads now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219451 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 15:14:11 +0000 Sveta 219451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, we will find them eventually, don't worry!:-)<br /> Marianne, thanks, I would appreciate that very much. Actually I am going to Boston and Philadelphia in a month and can pick them up then or ship them to Anne (Sparky) who graciously lended me her address for shipping. That's why it is a timing factor for me now!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219444 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 15:01:50 +0000 marianna 219444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, since I work at Nordies now, I can check our internal system and see if any stores have the Fidji boots in size 43. I can do that today if you're interested. We can then always order them through the store and they will ship to you. I believe shipping to Canada is $30 but I would have to double check.</p> <p>But if you ship to a US address, it would be free! (I think...) (Not sure how phone orders work yet, heh). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219442 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 14:50:56 +0000 Michelle 219442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I may have to become your booty twin if you find the right pair. Our criteria are identical, and I too wear a hard-to-find size (though mostly because my foot is quite wide). I'll be watching this with great interest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219439 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 14:27:22 +0000 Sveta 219439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand that Fidji boots are available online only so no trying in the store :-(<br /> Alas, my size is not in stock for black Fidji boots online...Actually, this is the only size which is not in stock for them. They still have red ones in my size but Angie said black...<br /> Is there a way to get a notification from Nordstrom if they come back in stock?<br /> jenava, thanks, I will look into those Munro boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219400 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 11:00:54 +0000 Jonesy 219400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's sad really--the Fidjis just blow all of the competition out of the water! Second place is a toss-up (though I really don't care for the Bella Vita Perry); you might need to try a bunch on and see what works, what's comfortable, etc. I like the Munro booties Jenava linked to, at nordstrom.com. Good luck on your bootie quest!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219376 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 06:07:11 +0000 marianna 219376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Fidjis too. My store doesn't have them sadly. I would try them on for you if I could! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219341 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 04:04:54 +0000 Mae 219341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Someone needs to buy those Fidjis so I can live vicariously. I think I'm in love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219340 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 03:54:43 +0000 Jenava 219340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, so you might hate these, but I saw these online today:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3098073" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3098073</a></p> <p>They are Munros, which I know are very, very comfy...</p> <p>I like the Fidjis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quest-for-the-perfect-black-bootie-what-do-you-think#post-219337 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 03:50:24 +0000 kellygirl 219337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the Fidji.

I am not having much success though: I guess my criteria are too high: I need size 12 and heel 2" or under. They need to be comfortable for walking. I also want to wear them with both skinnies and dresses. To be able to do this with my thick ankles and stumpy calves I need them either to be cut below the ankle or to be quite slouchy over the ankle. Believe me, I look awful in ankle length boots which are snug around my ankles: it looks like my ankles are being suffocated!<br /> So far I am looking at these:<br /> Fidji:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3115806?origin=shoppingbag" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/31.....hoppingbag</a><br /> or<br /> David Tate Vera: <a href="http://www.zappos.com/david-tate-vera-grey-leather?zfcTest=prodPage2a:1" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/david-ta.....odPage2a:1</a><br /> or<br /> Bella-Vita Raptor :<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/product/7658969/color/243261?zfcTest=prodPage2a:1" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/product/.....odPage2a:1</a><br /> or<br /> Bella-Vita Perry:<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/product/7659239/color/29924?zfcTest=prodPage2a:1" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/product/.....odPage2a:1</a><br /> or<br /> Gabriella Rocha: <a href="http://www.zappos.com/gabriella-rocha-amber-black?zlfid=111&#038;zfcTest=prodPage2a:1" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/gabriell.....odPage2a:1</a><br /> Does anybody know how comfortable these boots are or how they fit?<br /> I am also going to try booties with a2.5" heel in the store to see if it is acceptable to me. It looks like there is much more selection if I am willing to go 0.5 up...<br /> Arghh.. decisions, decisions... </p>
