But that brand has some good options - thanks again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-on-the-hunt-for-black-boots#post-409530 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 20:18:16 +0000 crazyone 409530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una: LC treats the suede so it actually holds up pretty well (i.e. even after wearing it 10 or so times, during a very snowy winter, it looks essentially new). I never wore them under pants, but the great thing about these boots is that they fit really close to the calf (I couldn't wear skinnies with these). I think the heel is about 2 inches. </p> <p>The foot is pretty narrow, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-on-the-hunt-for-black-boots#post-409347 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 15:57:12 +0000 catgirl 409347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>C1, I know you've recommended those before! Two questions - how does the suede hold up over time? And does that big button create any issues if you are wearing them under a long skirt or pants in terms of catching or being bulky? They look fab and they get amazing reviews!</p> <p>Will check Cole Haan and Aquatalia as well - thanks!</p> <p>ETA: THREE questions! What is the heel height? Zappos say 2" but some reviewers said it was 2.75"!</p> <p>ETAA: Well, these don't seem to be available anywhere in my size (6M or 5.5W)... grrrr! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-on-the-hunt-for-black-boots#post-409277 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 14:15:05 +0000 Beth 409277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you checked to see if Aquatalia is doing lower-heeled boots? Their stretch shafts are perfect for narrow calves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-on-the-hunt-for-black-boots#post-409275 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 14:11:45 +0000 crazyone 409275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I highly recommend these: <a href="http://www.zappos.com/la-canadienne-dorina-black-suede" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/la-canad.....lack-suede</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-on-the-hunt-for-black-boots#post-409261 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 13:38:55 +0000 rae 409261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NO! Aw, I was so attached to the Timberlands... but the search must go on. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-on-the-hunt-for-black-boots#post-409250 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 13:30:49 +0000 Sona 409250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what about these colehaan beauties featured in the bumper sept issue of instyle?<br /> colehaan has a bunch of other back beauties too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-on-the-hunt-for-black-boots#post-409228 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 09:53:33 +0000 Jjsloane 409228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those Bandolinos are lovely, but I find the brand to run narrow if that is a concern for you. I'd keep an eye on them and you have until October to find something else. My foot is not a true wide but some brands I just have to avoid because I've never had luck with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-on-the-hunt-for-black-boots#post-409187 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 05:19:28 +0000 catgirl 409187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Timberlands had similar measurements, if the sites can be believed. I think I have a long ankle-to-knee measurement because 15" has not been too tall so far. I am going to give them a try, although waiting till October is a bit annoying. On the other hand, I have boots a-plenty in the meantime!</p> <p>Mo, the Timberlands really hurt my ankles at that angle - I always think I can wear a higher heel than I really can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-on-the-hunt-for-black-boots#post-409167 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 04:19:53 +0000 MNsara 409167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful classic boot, but I'm thinking similar to kellygirl about the height. </p> <p>However, they ARE free shipping and free returns </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-on-the-hunt-for-black-boots#post-409162 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 04:09:19 +0000 kellygirl 409162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice but the shaft height seems a bit tall for us shorties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-on-the-hunt-for-black-boots#post-409157 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 03:43:19 +0000 Mo 409157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no - the Timberlands were too tall of a heel? Bummer. They looked great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/still-on-the-hunt-for-black-boots#post-409155 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 03:36:44 +0000 catgirl 409155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A friend's teen daughter actually gave me a pair of Steve Maddens, UNWORN, that she got at the NAS last year. They are adorable but have a distressed look unsuitable for work. I am now eying these, although they don't ship till October:</p> <p><a href="http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=1282110021060&#038;cid=59768" rel="nofollow">http://piperlime.gap.com/brows.....;cid=59768</a></p> <p>The Timberlands just had too high a heel for me after I wore them around for a while. My ankles just can't handle it and my arches start to hurt. I didn't bother sizing up and I think I'm going to stick to 2.5 or under unless there is a true platform. </p>
