I cannot wait to see them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-flowerpot#post-1185551 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 20:58:51 +0000 Diana 1185551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's the link to the Miistas, Angie.&nbsp; They come in black too, but not on sale.</p> <p><a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=28535193" rel="nofollow">http://www.urbanoutfitters.com.....d=28535193</a></p> <p>Sona, I was reminded of how different different feet can be when Una posted about the Born loafers.&nbsp; I tried them last year and they looked SO different on me, so much extra room everywhere.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-flowerpot#post-1185546 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 20:54:48 +0000 Sona 1185546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow they look totally different on your&nbsp; feet than on mine. Maybe the lighter tan/luggage&nbsp; that I have might have something to do with it?</p> <p>Interesting how all&nbsp;our bodies are so different....</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-flowerpot#post-1185544 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 20:53:37 +0000 Angie 1185544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Got it.

Who made them?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-flowerpot#post-1185526 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 20:38:10 +0000 Diana 1185526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So here's the problem, Angie.&nbsp; I have three pairs of booties with that heel height already, and that's my top limit.&nbsp; I really need something flat to alternate.&nbsp; =( </p> <p>ETA: These miistas are on their way too.&nbsp; Mostly because of the color.&nbsp; =P</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-flowerpot#post-1185518 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 20:34:18 +0000 Angie 1185518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES. Try the last JC&nbsp;style. I'm going to encourage the heel height because my ink&nbsp;Zara booties have heels just like that - and I love them. They are surprisingly comfy. And you and me have similarly fussy feet, Diana. Trust me enough to at least give the style&nbsp;a bash.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-flowerpot#post-1185504 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 20:25:17 +0000 Diana 1185504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gah!&nbsp; This might work but it's too high a heel for what I want:</p> <p><a href="http://www.jeffreycampbellshoes.com/shoes-16/boots/vito#.UxeH7V5kJfY" rel="nofollow">http://www.jeffreycampbellshoe.....xeH7V5kJfY</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-flowerpot#post-1185500 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 20:23:08 +0000 Diana 1185500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I can't find a JC style that wouldn't show my orthotics from the side.&nbsp; I absolutely CAN'T have a shoe that has the cutout going all the way down to the sole or with a bare heel.&nbsp; I need to put orthotics and footies in there!&nbsp; I like this Zara one but it's not available in my size.&nbsp; </p> <p><a href="http://www.zara.com/us/en/woman/shoes/ankle-boots/leather-ankle-boot-with-straps-c358012p1751067.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.zara.com/us/en/woma.....751067.htm</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-flowerpot#post-1185493 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 20:15:05 +0000 Angie 1185493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for too much gape.&nbsp;</p> <p>Have you tried <b>all</b> the Jeffrey Campbell cut-out bootie&nbsp;styles, Diana?

If so, yeah, I think the look is a bit off. With jeans or trousers, I think they'd be OK. I definitely see what you mean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-flowerpot#post-1185434 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 19:40:51 +0000 Diana 1185434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, so it sounds like most of you are seeing what I see about the fit being off.&nbsp; But I will give them one more chance and style them with some actual outfits later on in the week when the other pair arrives.&nbsp; They need to get returned to the store anyway so that won't be happening until the weekend at least.&nbsp; </p> <p>Liz, I think the buckles are either on the tightest or second tightest holes here, so they don't have much further to go.&nbsp; I guess I could try pulling them really tight (I can always add a hole if I decide to go that route) and see what happens.&nbsp; The back is fairly stiff though (there is a zipper at the back to get them on and off) so I don't actually think I can cinch them very tight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-flowerpot#post-1185431 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 19:35:07 +0000 Suz 1185431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed, Diana - they do not look like a good fit... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-flowerpot#post-1185410 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 19:10:18 +0000 catgirl 1185410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Waaah!

So sad because they are really cute! </p>
