The leather is very nice but those wrinkles/ruching are giving enough pause and there is stitching inside where the wrinkles are. I had not noticed that previously and I am not a fan of it. Thanks again &nbsp;- very helpful for an indecisive person such as myself to have fashion peeps weigh in. I am going to return these ones and continue my search. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-intentional-boot-wrinkles#post-1725266 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 10:51:29 +0000 LaPed 1725266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd call it ruching, personally, not wrinkles (must be my inner marketer), but whatever you call it I'm not a big fan. </p> <p>Like Aziraphale pointed out, it can look a bit "trying-too-hard" -- on me at least! I'm sure there are people out there who'd rock those just fine, but on me they'd look silly. </p> <p>TBH though I'm kind of a leather purist -- I don't really want any pre-distressing whatsoever. I'm a pretty efficient distress-er of footwear once I get it out of the box. ;)</p> <p>This silhouette is all over the place right now, so I'm sure you can find a similar version sans stitched-in wrinkles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-intentional-boot-wrinkles#post-1725261 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 09:15:41 +0000 Staysfit 1725261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are those magenta?

One of those things where they can be just the ticket tho I'm not crazy about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-intentional-boot-wrinkles#post-1725233 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 05:11:38 +0000 binkle 1725233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not a fan, maybe 'cause the wrinkles are faux and too symmetrical, like whoever designed them didn't even try for a worn look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-intentional-boot-wrinkles#post-1725232 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 05:08:19 +0000 Aziraphale 1725232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a strong poison eye for deliberate, stitched-in wrinkles such as these, but it's an entirely personal aversion that has no rational basis at all, just like my aversion to the colour magenta. For me, deliberate wrinkles seem like the designer was trying really hard to make the boot look "cool", and succeed only in making it look, er...desperate? That's the best way I can explain it. Like I said, it's not exactly rational. ;-)</p> <p>If boots naturally develop creases after wear, however, that's entirely different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-intentional-boot-wrinkles#post-1725231 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 04:36:27 +0000 Alexandra 1725231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, intentional, not international. Must read more slowly :-)</p> <p>If they fit well and you love them, I'd say go for it. If you're hesitating, maybe the wrinkles aren't quite your cup of tea. I don't do wrinkles, but I also don't have a boho bone in my body. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-intentional-boot-wrinkles#post-1725221 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 04:05:12 +0000 Gigi 1725221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally have a poison eye for those kinds of wrinkles, but I'm not sure why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-intentional-boot-wrinkles#post-1725212 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 03:17:30 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1725212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the wrinkles too....but I'm a Boho Baby ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-intentional-boot-wrinkles#post-1725194 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 02:25:53 +0000 shedev 1725194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be a spanner and say I like the wrinkles.

If that works well with your wardrobe, they will be easy to incorporate and are a good neutral. Years ago, I had a pair of Reiker booties like this. That brand fits me well and I liked them, but the style didn't jive with my wardrobe. (I have had comfort determine shoe decisions more than once...)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-intentional-boot-wrinkles#post-1725180 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 01:37:51 +0000 Glory 1725180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am looking for low heeled ankle boots and came across these. They are a great fit but would like your input on the wrinkles. </p>
