The black has some extra ornamentation in the form of cross straps. Both are Vince Camuto tho. I think they're pretty much the same except for that. I think my duck-feet pose on the tan probably isn't showing them true.</p> <p>Denise - Team heels! And maybe I should start looking at Rag &amp; Bone if they do a fitted ankle at least every now and then... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-booties-arrived#post-966499 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 15:30:35 +0000 Sarah A 966499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the black... But for the price if you arent sure on the wearability the tan could be an inexpensive test. I dont see too much gap at the ankle at all...i think they are meant to fit this way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-booties-arrived#post-966483 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 15:22:53 +0000 Sona 966483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>black is my go to poison for these.</p> <p>:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-booties-arrived#post-966234 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 06:01:48 +0000 rae 966234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are they the same boots, just different colors? The black look slimmer in the back to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-booties-arrived#post-966230 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 05:56:46 +0000 CocoLion 966230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh and I agree with the need for more boots with fitted ankles! That is why I'm still obsessed with the rag and bone deacons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-booties-arrived#post-966228 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 05:54:58 +0000 CocoLion 966228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am super excited that there's another member of the heels team on YLF!

But hot. I like the black so long as you can actually walk in them. </p> <p>And that amount of ankle gap is reasonable. You want to see flowerpot? I should find the pic of me trying on the report marks for you... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-booties-arrived#post-966176 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 04:16:44 +0000 rachylou 966176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. The tan has come from behind. Hmm hmm hmm.</p> <p>The black were ~$134. Quite a big difference. But way under the Prada mark, like that helps. Haha.</p> <p>bj, my best friend tapes shows for me.

Lol.</p> <p>Hmm, black seems to be edging out the tan...</p> <p>Ok. I will rustle up a dress sometime in the next few days... schedule crunch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-booties-arrived#post-965946 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 22:26:25 +0000 rachylou 965946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna - those are super cute!</p> <p>unfrumped - Yes, the flower pot look always bugs me a bit too. I don't know why designers are so enamoured of this look. I also wish more booties were cut to fit snug at the ankle, but they are hard to come by. </p> <p>Suz, Sarah - I will try to rustle up a skirt or dress outfit. (This will probably take me days, so no one hold their breath )</p> <p>Diane, Pil, cobalt - I'm actually ok with the 4" heel. I wasn't sure if I would be. The foot petals seem to be working. The insole is very slippy, that's the problem. If I didn't wear nylon socks, I wouldn't have the problem, but that is icky to me.</p> <p>Kristen - I'll have to think more about whether to keep. I think I'd might be more likely to keep the tan. They were cheaper and I feel I have to watch how much black I buy. Don't want to get too citified... hehe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-booties-arrived#post-965943 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 22:21:22 +0000 Angie 965943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look stunning! I vote black. I didn't know you wore 4 inch heels </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-booties-arrived#post-965926 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 21:50:52 +0000 Anonymous 965926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My&nbsp;<b>goodness</b> those are beautiful on your foot. I think the way the shaft stands away from your ankle makes your legs look pretty and delicate. Let's see them with a dress! How does the tan color look against your bare leg? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-booties-arrived#post-965919 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 21:42:22 +0000 unfrumped 965919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on the fence, as I hate the flower pot look and wish more booties tapered in to the ankle somehow. I think you want them to feel secure in the footbed though so if they're wide at the shaft it's intentional and not because they're just too wide overall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-booties-arrived#post-965889 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 20:59:27 +0000 cobaltblue 965889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the tan and find the gap unobjectionable as it looks intentional. The slippage sounds maddening, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-booties-arrived#post-965859 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 20:16:21 +0000 Kristin L 965859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's hard to choose between black and brown. I think they are meant to be that wide, like the others have said. I hate to say it, but if you're not in love with them right now, you may want to consider sending them back and saving the money for when you find the right pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-booties-arrived#post-965851 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 20:09:11 +0000 Suz 965851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does look as if they are designed to be wide at the ankle. Do you want to show us with a dress so we can see the overall effect? Sometimes it is tough to tell from just the closeups. The heel would not be possible for me, but they are pretty darned cool.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-booties-arrived#post-965849 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 20:08:12 +0000 pil 965849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The ankles look fine to me, and the boots are delicate enough that they would look nice with a skirt. That is if you don't object to delicate But - you know I'm no maven. The black looks super with the pants you're wearing. The sliding forward sounds problematic though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-booties-arrived#post-965844 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 19:53:28 +0000 Anonymous 965844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look of them. Both colours look good. Are you ok with a 4" heel? If you think with the shoe petals they can become comfy, I don't think they are disastrously wide at the ankle. You need to think about which colour you may reach for the most and what you will wear them with.<br /> I like the ones Anna linked to as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-booties-arrived#post-965842 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 19:47:36 +0000 annagybe 965842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the black better, but probably because I'm obsessed with these.<br /> <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/emke-open-toe-bootie-metal/vp/v=1/1539592280.htm?folderID=2534374302076318&#038;fm=other-shopbysize&#038;colorId=12867" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/emke-op.....orId=12867</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-booties-arrived#post-965841 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 19:45:00 +0000 MovingFashionForward 965841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds as though they might be too big, somehow. If they are not comfortable and need a lot of fiddling to make them work, will you persevere in wearing them? (I have a history of not wearing shoes that have the slightest issue with them.) Perhaps if you really love them you will persevere?</p> <p>As to whether they would look ok with a skirt, I think they could do. It depends on the skirt. High-vamp shoes and booties are being worn with all sorts of things currently so I don't really see that as an issue.&nbsp;I just can't get past the sliding forward in them issue. For me, that would be too irritating.</p> <p>Sarah </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-booties-arrived#post-965804 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 18:52:15 +0000 rachylou 965804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So the two pairs of Vince Camuto open-toe booties I ordered have arrived. They're really comfy for 4" and the prices were right. The tan ones were ~$54 on sale. </p> <p>I do tend to slide forward in them, although some foot petals are helping with that, and I'm not 100% keen on the wide width at the ankle. I'm thinking all these boots are cut like this on purpose, because no one but an elephant could have piano legs like that. But are they too wide to wear with a skirt? Would that look too funny? I'd like boots to wear with skirts. For the price, however, I'd be willing to keep these as "hold-me-over" shoes, until better comes along.</p> <p>What do y'all think? </p>
