Tightening the straps made all the difference. I hope you can fix the toe issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steampunk-boots-with-longer-skirt#post-617015 Thu, 10 May 2012 23:07:33 +0000 Aida 617015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Works to my eye! Hope you get the toe sorted out, sounds like stretching could help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steampunk-boots-with-longer-skirt#post-616939 Thu, 10 May 2012 20:50:05 +0000 Beth Ann 616939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae: Love this pairing -- I think these boots will be very versatile in your wardrobe, and don't find them "too long" or "OTT." They might be too hot for me, but you seem to be a dedicated boot girl, even in L.A. Wear and enjoy, and good luck keeping that little toe happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steampunk-boots-with-longer-skirt#post-616935 Thu, 10 May 2012 20:37:53 +0000 catgirl 616935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Get them stretched! They sound like they will loosen up! This looks great to me, but i can't stand a cramped toe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steampunk-boots-with-longer-skirt#post-616832 Thu, 10 May 2012 18:04:44 +0000 rae 616832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the advice - I don't think the toe itself will soften, but I can feel the heel and ankle softening already, which should allow my foot to sit farther back. Looks like there are only whole sizes, anyway, and I'd be afraid a 9 would be even taller and possibly wider in the shaft than the 8. Not worth the money to size up IMO. </p> <p>If the toe continues to bother me, I might also try a heel lift, which would also provide more space length-wise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steampunk-boots-with-longer-skirt#post-616830 Thu, 10 May 2012 18:02:37 +0000 ManidipaM 616830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try Shannon's potato trick before you think of selling on? Or see if getting a chamois pad fixed at the sore point will help? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steampunk-boots-with-longer-skirt#post-616821 Thu, 10 May 2012 17:42:59 +0000 christieanne 616821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sad to hear they rub the toe - don't give up yet. Totally works with the dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steampunk-boots-with-longer-skirt#post-616793 Thu, 10 May 2012 17:16:17 +0000 Julie 616793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent outfit, Rae. So sorry to hear about your toe being rubbed the wrong way, but it's still early days yet. Give them some time to mold to your foot, at least a couple of wearings. In the meantime a pair of cotton socks my be of help. That's never failed me.</p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>Julie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steampunk-boots-with-longer-skirt#post-616787 Thu, 10 May 2012 17:09:26 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 616787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit looks great. Perhaps the boots will loosen up a bit and work out for you. They do look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steampunk-boots-with-longer-skirt#post-616786 Thu, 10 May 2012 17:07:26 +0000 teeandcee 616786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! Could you have them stretched? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steampunk-boots-with-longer-skirt#post-616743 Thu, 10 May 2012 15:57:26 +0000 Angie 616743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course they work! Very fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steampunk-boots-with-longer-skirt#post-616720 Thu, 10 May 2012 15:43:58 +0000 rute 616720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! So 70's!!!<br /> Love the fit of the dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steampunk-boots-with-longer-skirt#post-616719 Thu, 10 May 2012 15:42:47 +0000 Inge 616719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The silhouette totally works for me.<br /> I'm sorry to hear the boots are painful though. Do you think the leather might stretch out a little, Rae? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steampunk-boots-with-longer-skirt#post-616709 Thu, 10 May 2012 15:29:17 +0000 rae 616709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies. I took a final look before leaving the house and decided I was being totally hormonal and second-guessing due to losing use of my crutch (read: camera) this morning. </p> <p>I did discover after walking a few flights of stairs, though, that one of my toes rubs in front. Arg - next time I will test a pair of shoes doing aerobics in my living room. Trying to decide if I should resell and pony up an extra $100+ for a 1/2 size up or take the limited walkability as the price I pay for the big discount I got. </p> <p>REAL WIW coming tonight with burgundy blazer and yellow floral handbag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steampunk-boots-with-longer-skirt#post-616702 Thu, 10 May 2012 15:14:12 +0000 Amy 616702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two thumbs up! Great outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steampunk-boots-with-longer-skirt#post-616700 Thu, 10 May 2012 15:11:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 616700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look fab with the dress and I love the bookending with the belt. Fab look Rae! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steampunk-boots-with-longer-skirt#post-616690 Thu, 10 May 2012 14:51:29 +0000 rae 616690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry about the cruddy pics, but my camera died... do the steampunk boots work when I'm not wearing short shorts? I've already added the extra holes to the straps. Wondering if they're too tall or bulky? Haven't worn outside yet. </p>
