I really love the thigh hugging OTK look on others, but I seem to be quite long from foot to knee - they barely cover my kneecap, and the top of the boot sticks straight up when I sit due to where it hits my knee, rather than curving with it like I wanted it to.</p> <p>The exciting part is that I found some black knee high boots and a bunch of other loot instead! Photos will be taken... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-cadet-specs#post-464433 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 23:14:39 +0000 annagybe 464433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I live in Seattle and got a previous version that was all leather. They're fine for our weather. Heck I even wore them in my bike contest entry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-cadet-specs#post-464431 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 23:11:13 +0000 Janet 464431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We get a lot of Seattle-like weather here in Baltimore too! I would think they'd be pretty practical. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-cadet-specs#post-464430 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 23:09:39 +0000 Shu 464430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck! Now I just need to figure out if it is ridiculous to buy a half fabric boot in Seattle :/. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-cadet-specs#post-464421 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 23:01:43 +0000 Janet 464421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think OTK boots with high heels evoke Pretty Woman, but flat ones like these I think will have some staying power. </p> <p>I can't wait to try mine on when I get home. I'm a little nervous about how they'll look on my not-so-skinny thighs, but I'm hoping the length of my legs helps them look right on me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-cadet-specs#post-464419 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 22:59:35 +0000 Shu 464419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look classic too, but I just can't remember anyone outside of the Pretty Woman context wearing OTK boots before a couple years ago - have I just been in a fashion vacuum? The OTK trend is what I'm concerned about, not this style. Although on the other hand, most of my wardrobe is boring and functioonal and things I don't LOVE, so maybe I can love these for a little while rather than getting something serviceable that will last forever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-cadet-specs#post-464325 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 21:04:57 +0000 Janet 464325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look very classic, so it's hard to imagine they'll look dated in a few years. I just received mine today and haven't had a chance to try them on yet (UPS man came right as I was leaving for a meeting). But the back stretchy part looks like it would be fine in the rain. I probably wouldn't take them through a jaunt in foot-high snow, but I can't imagine rain would hurt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sw-cadet-specs#post-464318 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 20:59:56 +0000 Shu 464318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alright ladies, Mr. Weitzman keeps calling my name, but I haven't been able to find the answer to this: the back of the boot is stretchy - is it waterproof/resistant, or would I need to avoid wearing them in the rain? On a related note, how long is the Nordstrom Half-Yearly, and can I call and have a size put on hold? And will they look dated in a couple years? </p>
