They are not my style (echoing Una), but I'm not the one wearing them :). I would think that they would work with bootcuts and skinnies, but maybe I'm mistaken. So sad and annoying about your leaky Clarks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-ankle-boots#post-382587 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 20:29:23 +0000 catgirl 382587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is not a style I love generally (pointy toe, skinny heel)... and cobblestones would be the final straw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-ankle-boots#post-382521 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 18:22:19 +0000 bella 382521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them! But I honestly don't know how versatile they would be for your work environment and cobblestones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-ankle-boots#post-382496 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 18:06:22 +0000 Scarlet 382496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I am going to give these booties a try, but now I am wondering if they will go with skinnies. My Clarks looked good with black skinny jeans, probably precisely because they were a little less sleek. I would love to have a separate pair of black slouchy boots for skinnies, but my better half would probably rebel at the sight of another boot in the house :)</p> <p>I do love the white version actually, but I need something easier and more basic more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-ankle-boots#post-382205 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 04:19:36 +0000 taylor 382205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They would be cute with black tights and dresses/skirts in the winter too:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-ankle-boots#post-382203 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 04:17:14 +0000 Anonymous 382203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! These booties are so cute. I think your style has plenty of urban edgyness for balance. I vote yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-ankle-boots#post-382000 Sun, 10 Jul 2011 22:00:56 +0000 Angie 382000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These booties love bootcuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-ankle-boots#post-381931 Sun, 10 Jul 2011 17:14:21 +0000 Kari 381931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would like them under bootcut pants, especially the white pair.</p> <p>What a shame about the Clarks ankle boots! That should not happen with such a quality-centric brand as Clarks - I'd be mad and disappointed too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-ankle-boots#post-381850 Sun, 10 Jul 2011 13:10:16 +0000 modgrl 381850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them but I think they are kind of limited. With the shape of the top you could only wear them with pants or bootlegs. As long as you are ok with that I would go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-ankle-boots#post-381841 Sun, 10 Jul 2011 12:54:14 +0000 morethanbeige 381841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the new booties. Not sure if they would be a good "everyday" pick? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-ankle-boots#post-381831 Sun, 10 Jul 2011 12:40:16 +0000 Lisa 381831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok reviewing the pictures and the info here, it sounds like the heel will not be an issue on cobblestones and if you don't like the current one's these are a suitable replacement. They have a similar style but it's refreshed with the thinner heel and pointy toe. I say go for it. The toe on these will look super leg lengthening with peeking out from a straight leg or bootcut jean. I change my vote to yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-ankle-boots#post-381777 Sun, 10 Jul 2011 06:44:29 +0000 Scarlet 381777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On the cobblestone, this is only an issue in certain parts of the city. The street I live on is cobblestone, but not the sidewalk, so it is only crossing the street. The campus where I work is oddly stoned, hard to explain--like slabs of stone with cut-outs in the middle, or placed not close enough together, so I would have to watch my step when I go buy a cup of coffee or something. This is more awkward, of course, than wearing flats, but it's also not such a big deal, since the scale of the stones is largish and flat. It's more like slightly restricted stepping than picking my way over stones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-ankle-boots#post-381770 Sun, 10 Jul 2011 05:58:09 +0000 Deborah 381770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How often would you be walking on cobblestone? I'm not so into ankle boots but I do like the look of these..they look a little retro to me. What would you be wearing them with? The look is very different to your "sturdy" booties but I do prefer the proposed style over the ones you are seeking to replace. I love the black AND the white!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-ankle-boots#post-381764 Sun, 10 Jul 2011 05:24:30 +0000 Scarlet 381764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I gave this some more thought. I think the issue is, although I know I like the style of the proposed booties, and I actually don't like the style of the ones I have that much, if I wear the latter to work, nobody would bat an eye because they are sufficiently sturdy, whereas if I wear the former, then I look more self-concious and fussy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-ankle-boots#post-381761 Sun, 10 Jul 2011 05:00:47 +0000 Marley 381761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love these - especially the white ones - but the black ones are cool too. However, I don't think these would be real practical for walking on cobblestone - that's the only thing that gives me pause! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-ankle-boots#post-381757 Sun, 10 Jul 2011 04:14:03 +0000 taylor 381757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE them:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-ankle-boots#post-381738 Sun, 10 Jul 2011 03:34:21 +0000 Lisa 381738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on the fence, you say they are to replace a pair of "sturdy" shoes? These don't say sturdy to me. They are kinda cute but I vote nay because they do not look heavy walking or cobblestone walking friendly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-ankle-boots#post-381583 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 23:00:16 +0000 Astrid 381583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm hesitating about the style, although that's my personal preference. BUT if you really want everyday booties I would definitely keep on looking. These don't look very practical to me (and you mentioned cobblestone)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-ankle-boots#post-381571 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 22:47:46 +0000 rute 381571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They seem dated to me.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-ankle-boots#post-381437 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 18:22:50 +0000 nicoleb 381437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know. These are not my style so it's hard for me to view them objectively. I am pretty wary about skinny heels on concrete and even more so on cobblestone....</p> <p>But if you love them then get them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-ankle-boots#post-381406 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 16:56:40 +0000 Scarlet 381406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This style looks a little retro/classic/fussy to me, but maybe in a good way? I need a bootie for everyday wear and I liked how these would add a little sleek polish. And they are on sale. They would be replacing my sturdy Clark ankle booties that leak rain on my toes. I don't totter on little heels, but I admit thin heels aren't the best on cobblestone. I like to think I can deftly maneuver the stones like a graceful little deer, but perhaps it is not so The Clarks had a higher but thicker rubber heel so stones weren't an issue with those. They were decidedly more casual though. I want black, but included the white because you can see the detail better.</p> <p>ETA: 3rd picture is the Clarks. I am so mad at them. The leather and shoe is in perfectly good shape. I had the cobbler fix the leaky sole once, but it didn't last long. </p>
