I prefer the suede colors to the black leather, for some reason -- somehow the suede and slouch feel right together.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sonbela-boots#post-2271577 Wed, 13 Jul 2022 18:01:38 +0000 delurked 2271577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to rock some slouchy boots again, but that heel is too high for my finicky feet. I hope they work out!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sonbela-boots#post-2271568 Wed, 13 Jul 2022 17:23:36 +0000 Echo 2271568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, those are BEAUTIFUL boots - actually far more stylish than the NAS ones this season! And you were rocking the white footwear even then. They look amazing on you. I can only hope that these suit my wardrobe and are comfortable enough to wear.</p> <p>Heels are very tricky for me now. Sometimes I can wear up to a 3-1/2" heel without any issues whatsoever, but a lot of the time I can't. I need to be really picky about heels, and be honest with myself about what I will actually wear. I went on a ballet flat kick over the summer and am loving them, so at least I'll have those to fall back on if these don't work, though ballet flats won't carry me through the winter. </p> <p>And yes, "skinny" jeans were different then. I remember I had a pair that zipped at the ankle, likely because they didn't have enough stretch not to. But even then, they weren't the calf-sucking sausage casings I find many of them to be now. They work really well for very slim legs, but I have athletic calves, which make today's skinny jeans too much like leggings for my comfort!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sonbela-boots#post-2271565 Wed, 13 Jul 2022 17:17:30 +0000 Angie 2271565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me wearing similar boots I got in London 15 years ago. LOVED THOSE BOOTS! Too high for me now, so said goodbye when I stopped wearing heels.</p> <p>And look at my skinnies! See how much WIDER they were back then. Those are straight legs today ;)</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sonbela-boots#post-2271563 Wed, 13 Jul 2022 17:15:25 +0000 Echo 2271563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welp, I've ordered them in black and green and will update when they arrive! No harm in trying... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sonbela-boots#post-2271562 Wed, 13 Jul 2022 17:04:18 +0000 Ginger 2271562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shaft looks narrower than the 80s version I remember. It's really a nice update to my eye, with the narrow ankle instead of slouched the whole way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sonbela-boots#post-2271559 Wed, 13 Jul 2022 16:48:31 +0000 Echo 2271559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the "Shaded Spruce" color in the suede, but I can't decide if that would be impractical. I would commonly wear them with a dress or skirts, and I also usually wear black tights in the winter, so I don't know if they would stand out in a bad way. Black is "safer", but not as much fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sonbela-boots#post-2271556 Wed, 13 Jul 2022 16:40:20 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2271556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them and don't think they look too retro. I kind of like the softer look of the suede ones, but I guess it depends what kind of dress or skirt you'd wear (I am thinking something Stevie Nicks-ish.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sonbela-boots#post-2271552 Wed, 13 Jul 2022 16:30:27 +0000 Angie 2271552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw them, but haven't tried them on, I'm afraid. Might later this week! Here are the other colours.&nbsp;</p> <p>My 2 cents: </p> <ul> <li>Absolutely everything right with the '80s!&nbsp;</li> <li>Absolutely&nbsp;can ROCK THEM AT ANY AGE</li> <li>Great with skirts and dresses</li> <li>The suede looks more comfy&nbsp;</li> <li>Heel looks high so make sure that works for&nbsp;your feet</li> </ul> <p>These are fabulous if they are comfy!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sonbela-boots#post-2271548 Wed, 13 Jul 2022 16:25:54 +0000 kellygirl 2271548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha! Everything comes around again! These are gorgeous and IDK if anyone under a certain age would think they're a throwback style. They're certainly beautify and as long as you don't wear them with shoulder pads, I think you'll look quite chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sonbela-boots#post-2271546 Wed, 13 Jul 2022 16:22:11 +0000 Echo 2271546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was wondering if anyone had seen or tried these in person. Or, even if you haven't, perhaps you can help out.</p> <p>Do these look TOO 1980s? Are they retro looking, or is it just because I remember the '80s? Just wondering if a person of a certain age can wear these without looking like they've raided their own closet from 30 years ago.</p> <p>Oh, and secondarily, are they comfortable? The narrow heel might be tricky, but I am not feeling the chunky boots I'm normally attracted to. </p>
