They look like they were perfect for what you were looking for. That is quite tall! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-chocolat-blu-gold-zipper-boots-arrived#post-795153 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:53:11 +0000 Anonymous 795153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-chocolat-blu-gold-zipper-boots-arrived#post-795149 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:48:06 +0000 Transcona Shannon 795149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No good if they are uncomfortable at the back of the knee. Too bad though...but onward...your perfect gold zipper boots are out there somewhere Diana! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-chocolat-blu-gold-zipper-boots-arrived#post-795143 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:44:28 +0000 Mochi 795143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup. And so an unlikely 50% discount would mean--$500 dollars! Whoop de doo. I hear you. Well, in the meantime, keep giving your current boots some love, and we'll see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-chocolat-blu-gold-zipper-boots-arrived#post-795123 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:32:41 +0000 Diana 795123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DJ, it's possible that they might shorten with wear, but they might also not and that's not a risk I want to take. Plus, in order to shorten with wear, I'd have to wear them at the uncomfortable height for a while first. </p> <p>Mochi, I have a price limit (although it's not concrete) mostly because I'm not sure this is a NEED rather than just a strong WANT. You might recall I've been trying to wear all 13 pairs of boots I own (only one left to go!) and while it's clear that I don't have anything resembling a tall, sleek black boot in my wardrobe, I've also not had any trouble getting dressed in the last year that I've been without it (I tossed an old pair of not-very-comfy black riding boots midway through last winter). </p> <p>Besides, the expensive ones (those Jimmy Choos that Anna showed me) are VERY expensive. Like, 1K expensive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-chocolat-blu-gold-zipper-boots-arrived#post-795060 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 13:28:51 +0000 Mochi 795060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RE-ally. You can't catch a break with these boots, can you? Hopefully the right one will show up. In the meantime, you perhaps could stalk some of the more expensive ones already brought to your attention...a price drop and/or a consideration of whether paying x amount beyond your previous limit would be worth it to you, or else just hold off till next season or whenever a better boot might come out.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-chocolat-blu-gold-zipper-boots-arrived#post-795012 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 08:52:17 +0000 CocoLion 795012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just returned a pair of black boots myself, I was so bummed. They weren't too tall, just too wide in the calf.

Are you sure they won't get shorter as the leather softens? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-chocolat-blu-gold-zipper-boots-arrived#post-794862 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 03:14:29 +0000 Suz 794862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a pity. They are quite lovely. </p> <p>Ah well. Uncomfortable is no good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-chocolat-blu-gold-zipper-boots-arrived#post-794838 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 02:35:07 +0000 Diana 794838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, Isabel, there is another zipper on the inside that does go all the way to the top. Hence why I think it is unfixable. </p> <p>You know, I have never actually tried on a pair of boots this tall before (except for OTK boots) ... it's a very odd feeling, and I can tell that it would be super annoying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-chocolat-blu-gold-zipper-boots-arrived#post-794837 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 02:30:56 +0000 Thistle 794837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very tall and very uncomfortable! You will only grow to hate them with time as they will rub something fierce. Better to send them back and wait for your perfect pair!</p> <p>Bummer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-chocolat-blu-gold-zipper-boots-arrived#post-794833 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 02:25:33 +0000 Isabel 794833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, very tall. They LOOK uncomfortable. I have a friend who likes to feel her boots at the back of her knee. It drives me crazy. </p> <p>Since the zipper doesn't go all the way to the top, you might be able to have them cut down. Rinaldi's in Boston, on St. James, close to the Hancock Bldg are miracle workers. But the cost might not be worth it. </p> <p> I think that you are making a good call by returning them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-chocolat-blu-gold-zipper-boots-arrived#post-794811 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 02:06:00 +0000 MNsara 794811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gah!! Why is this so elusive! I feel your shorter calf pain! I learned 15" is MAX for me, and 14" is probably better, but nowhere to be found.</p> <p>Too bad! But don't settle! Keep on trying . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-chocolat-blu-gold-zipper-boots-arrived#post-794808 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 02:03:42 +0000 Mo 794808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:(<br /> I hope you can find your perfect zipper boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-chocolat-blu-gold-zipper-boots-arrived#post-794793 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 01:50:38 +0000 nancylee 794793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too tall is a really good reason to send the boots back, Diana. If it bothers you now, it'll only be worse once you start walking around in them.</p> <p>Keep searching! In the meantime, you've saved a few $$... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-chocolat-blu-gold-zipper-boots-arrived#post-794792 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 01:49:28 +0000 rae 794792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holy monkey, that IS tall. Doesn't look like they could be shortened much, either, because of the zip detail. Bummer... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-chocolat-blu-gold-zipper-boots-arrived#post-794782 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 01:42:45 +0000 lyn* 794782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa. Those are tall.</p> <p>Too bad </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-chocolat-blu-gold-zipper-boots-arrived#post-794780 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 01:42:05 +0000 annagybe 794780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer! Wow those are tall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-chocolat-blu-gold-zipper-boots-arrived#post-794779 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 01:41:11 +0000 Diana 794779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>and, sadly, I think they are going back. They fit perfectly in the calf, ankle, and foot, but they are just too tall. I don't actually think they look too tall, but when I bend my knee I can feel the boot hit the inside back of my knee. I don't believe that's something that can be easily solved, right? </p> <p>By the way, Myhabit listed the shaft height as 16.5". I was hoping that was the side height (the front and back dip slightly) which would have been OK, but it turns out that is the front height. The side is a whopping 17.5" tall. If you remember I was looking for 15-16" tall shafts.</p> <p>Sigh... well, onwards and upwards. On the other hand, if you are really tall, this might be the boot for you. </p>
