Mona: I've always been a "black boots and tights only" girl. I've got a plan to add some more neutrals to my winter colors of purple, teal and red. I'd like to try mixing in some navy, cognac and taupe, and these boots are the first part of this change. I'm thinking of trying some mushroom colored tights, maybe with just a little texture, come fall. I've wanted to try some deep, colored tights, too -- no brights, since I think they'd look a little "young" on me. But I could see these boots paired with deep eggplant. I'd like my use of black to be more deliberate and thoughtful, not a "fall back"when I don't know what else to do! This length of boot is an unusual choice, but I think it's a proportion that works on my leg, and at $30 for real leather, it seemed like a good opportunity to try something new. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae-like-boots#post-612145 Fri, 04 May 2012 12:27:30 +0000 Janet 612145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute boots, and those sandals look like a great comfy alternative to gear sandals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae-like-boots#post-612114 Fri, 04 May 2012 10:10:35 +0000 Mona 612114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great use of your coupon! love them boht. Do you plan to wear these boots in fall/winter? what coloured tights will you use? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae-like-boots#post-612086 Fri, 04 May 2012 07:16:53 +0000 Kiwichik 612086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both items are must haves - go for it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae-like-boots#post-611843 Fri, 04 May 2012 01:32:34 +0000 Aida 611843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well those sandals are certainly a fab upgrade to Birks or trainers! I like the mixed metallics. Love the boots, what a good idea to waterproof sandals! That sounds like something I need to do in my neck of the woods too.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae-like-boots#post-611718 Thu, 03 May 2012 23:31:41 +0000 Jjsloane 611718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great boot score and the metallic of the sandals makes them so cute. If they are comfy super score. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae-like-boots#post-611716 Thu, 03 May 2012 23:27:55 +0000 Vicki 611716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them both and you did well at DSW! See! Now, you're ready for Spring, Summer and Fall! Plus, you've got to feel great that the boots were on your list! Now, you can cross that off. Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae-like-boots#post-611668 Thu, 03 May 2012 21:58:11 +0000 Anonymous 611668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are fantastic looking comfortable sandals! I don't think you could have done any better, and I hope the waterproofing works. I like the boots too, though I'm not as well-versed on them as Rae and the others are! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae-like-boots#post-611664 Thu, 03 May 2012 21:54:11 +0000 Sarah A 611664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think both are wins... love the boots! and 12 hour sandals are worth their weight in gold! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae-like-boots#post-611661 Thu, 03 May 2012 21:48:33 +0000 Beth Ann 611661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know why I haven't thought of waterproofing sandals -- I do boots all the time. Thanks for the tip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae-like-boots#post-611487 Thu, 03 May 2012 18:21:21 +0000 catgirl 611487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae-like-boots#post-611476 Thu, 03 May 2012 18:10:55 +0000 christieanne 611476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Score two for two! I have used the Kiwi waterproof spray and it does not hurt the leather at all. I use it on most of my sandals actually - summer has so many unexpected water events with those mister things and sprinklers and such. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae-like-boots#post-611454 Thu, 03 May 2012 17:52:26 +0000 rae 611454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should be able to pick up some waterproofing spray for the sandals (and hey, the boots, too). The one sold at Nordies is popular. I've used the Wilson's leather brand, and it does not alter the color of the leather. I also bought a can of Kiwi heavy duty spray at Target for $8 - that is supposed to work on canvas as well as leather - I used this on my cotton anorak, and it worked well. Haven't tried the last one on leather yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae-like-boots#post-611427 Thu, 03 May 2012 17:21:17 +0000 Angie 611427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>12-hour sandals that look sweet like yours do are a win :)</p> <p>Cool boots too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae-like-boots#post-611423 Thu, 03 May 2012 17:18:06 +0000 Beth Ann 611423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! Rae, I know these barely touch the edges of UPW, but I think they'll do nicely for me, and they're better quality than anything I currently own. </p> <p>I think the shaft length is kind of interesting, but it looks better on my bare leg than booties than the Report that everyone else wears so beautifully. The sandals have a wonderful footbed a rubber (yeah, I know, but it gives) sole and they cradle my foot without rubbing or slipping. The only thing they won't do? Handle the water rides! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae-like-boots#post-611400 Thu, 03 May 2012 16:55:14 +0000 morethanbeige 611400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the boots and really like the sandals! Quite the score for 12 hours. Fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae-like-boots#post-611379 Thu, 03 May 2012 16:08:39 +0000 Transcona Shannon 611379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these are both great Beth Ann - you can definitely wear the boots bare legged and with skirts/dresses. And those sandals are gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae-like-boots#post-611375 Thu, 03 May 2012 16:06:24 +0000 rae 611375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you know I like the boots! I think they're adorable for Fall, and I wear mine with bare legs all the time. </p> <p>The sandals are waaaaay cuter than Birkies IMO. If those babies are 12-hour shoes, I think you scored. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rae-like-boots#post-611314 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:53:17 +0000 Beth Ann 611314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greeting! </p> <p>I had a $20 off coupon for DSW, and I headed down looking for "gearish" sandals -- you know, those "12 hours at Six Flags Great America" type of shoes. Well, I came across some neutral sandals which might fit the bill (although not waterproof), and these boots on the clearance rack. Now, I won't likely wear them til Fall, but I do have "tan/brown boots" on the list. These are as close to RATE or UWP as I can safely get. What do you think of the length and styling? I don't know that I'll wear them bare legged, but could I? Also, I'd like a "frump check" on the sandal, bearing in mind that it's to function in place of Birkenstocks or trainers. </p>
