I wonder if it would be worth trying yet another pair? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know/page/2#post-725476 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:31:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 725476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very interesting Kelly...I also bought these boots and I am only 5'1" (on a good hair day!). Here's the pics that I had posted with the boots when they arrived. I also had the wrinkling at the ankle to some degree but it didn't bother me and they were crazy comfy. But when I look really closely, mine seem to come to about the same spot under my knee as yours do but everyone thought mine fit fine. Or am I missing something? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-725437 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 16:56:14 +0000 kellygirl 725437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, sarah, MNsara, Echo and Lisa! I'm off to return.<br /> @sarah: IDK what is up with these boots. I thought they would work because they are so fab on you and we are nearly the same height. You must have longer calves than me! The first pair I ordered were wonky--one side was 1" taller than the other side and one shaft was significantly larger than the other. These were the replacement boots. I guess waterproof boots will remain on my shopping list for awhile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-725433 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 16:42:57 +0000 sarah 725433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara, yep, these are the same blondo boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-725269 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:30:36 +0000 Lisa 725269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with others, I don't mind the wrinkling, most of my boots do this. But these are a tad too tall, they look like they hit at the bottom of the kneecap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-725228 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 12:43:04 +0000 MNsara 725228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it your picture that makes that textured top look like a 'sock'? Are they they the same Blondo boot as sarah?</p> <p>I think the little bit of kneecap height difference does make a difference. sarah's entire kneecap is well above the boot, whereas the bottom of your kneecap rests on the boot top or even disappears inside the boot shaft. You don't want them to go any lower though, or you'll end up with more ankle scrunch :-(</p> <p>Gah! Boot shopping is SO darn complicated!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-725200 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 12:14:56 +0000 sarah 725200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Kelly,</p> <p>Here are mine for comparison:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-few-nas-contenders" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....contenders</a></p> <p>It looks like maybe they appear just a hair lower compared to the kneecap then yours. Argh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-724989 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 03:56:55 +0000 Echo 724989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perhaps I am blind, but I don't see the wrinkling as a problem at all. ALL boots have some creasing, wrinkling at the ankle because it is a moving joint. If the boots didn't have any wrinkles there, it would mean they had never moved. But that said, I am not terribly fond of these boots, and I think you can do better. The shaft looks odd on my screen - rather sock-like as Queen Mum said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-724975 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 03:30:47 +0000 sarah 724975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, kelly, I don't get it - they do look a bit tall on you, but you're taller than me, aren't you?! I thought you were 5'4", and I'm 5'2". I'm going to have to try them on again this weekend. I don't have my pics any more from NAS</p> <p>Ugh, what a drag for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-724876 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 01:26:44 +0000 Angie 724876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just chiming in again to say that the wrinkles look just fine to me - but they are too tall. Onto something better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-724873 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 01:24:47 +0000 kellygirl 724873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank goodness I asked! I was *almost* going to keep them. Thanks so much again for pointing out the shaft height too. You peeps are the best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-724835 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 00:44:18 +0000 Suz 724835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's sad, because they are great boots. But yeah...they look too high and the wrinkling is odd. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-724834 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 00:43:43 +0000 Carole 724834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Something's not quite right, I vote return.

Return without regret. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-724720 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 22:46:00 +0000 CocoLion 724720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would like them with pants or jeans tucked in. I actually like boots that are really tall. But sorry, not with the shorts or skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-724716 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 22:40:42 +0000 K. Period. 724716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a really hard time seeing the wrinkling, but I think it is just my monitor. Are these the ones with leather bottoms and a stretchy fabric shaft? If so, I know exactly what you mean even without seeing it. In my search for the perfect boots last year, I tried on a lot of boots, including several with a stretchy fabric shaft. I have *ahem* ample, curvy calves. They wrinkled on me too. I sent them back because I didn't like the look. So even if I can't see it in the picture, if it is wrinkling like that, I'd take 'em back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-724714 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 22:40:33 +0000 Sveta 724714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This wrinkling was the reason why I did not get them either and my ankles are opposite of skinny... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-724712 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 22:37:34 +0000 Angie 724712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Anna. They look too high on your leg, Kelly. I vote return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-724710 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 22:31:41 +0000 annagybe 724710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me it's not so much the wrinkling it's that they look awfully tall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-724682 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 21:49:49 +0000 catgirl 724682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had that wrinkling issue and returned the boots I'd bought (not these!). I have skinny calves and ankles, so it was worse for me.... I like them but once seen, the wrinkling can't be unseen, KWIM? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-724681 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 21:48:40 +0000 Anonymous 724681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, I don't think these boots have your name on them. But you are super cute as always! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-724678 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 21:46:52 +0000 kellygirl 724678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Ceit! AJ had some severe wrinkling going on as I recall. They were perfect on sarah. I thought my substantial calves would fill them out </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-724674 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 21:44:06 +0000 Anonymous 724674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't like the wrinkling. There was someone else on the board who had the same wrinkling issue. I have seen others who didn't have the wrinkling problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-724673 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 21:43:40 +0000 kellygirl 724673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Makrame, Dana, jenanded, and Kim! The wrinkling isn’t as severe as some of the others I’ve tried, but I’m not sure that’s a good enough reason to keep them. These are definitely an investment for me and I want them to be as close to perfect as possible. Lately, I feel like I’m overly picky but now I see that you are seeing the same thing I am Thanks!<br /> @Kim: Lol re: the "sock!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-724660 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 21:25:50 +0000 Queen Mum 724660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perhaps I'd feel differently seeing them IRL or with a different outfit, but I'm honestly not loving these on you. The calf part seems more like a sock than a boot. I hate to say that though because I realize it could just be the lighting or that they are not photographing well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-724659 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 21:23:14 +0000 jenanded 724659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute as but if you question the wrinkles now, they will bug you when they are yours! I agree wth Dana keep looking should the right one pop out at you on the mall trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-724648 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 21:16:04 +0000 Dana 724648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That would be a TON of boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-kr-question-nas-gasp-i-know#post-724646 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 21:15:14 +0000 Dana 724646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't feel bad. I still have a pair of boots and a blazer I have to decide on from NAS. I returned most of what I bought, as I bought it on line. The boots are Cole Haan, so I feel like I should like them, but I'm not sure I do. </p> <p>Your boots look fine in # 1, but it's hard to tell in # 2-3.. I think they might be a little wrinkly. I have a problem with that, too. Do you think you want to look around a little before you decide. DSW has a TON of. Pots right now.., </p>
