I love both pairs (I like clean, sleek lines for boots;-)<br /> I have a slight preference for the ones at Amazon (the heel detail).<br /> Both would be very versatile, and if they're as comfortable as my old Campers, you'll never regret your purchase.</p> <p>By the way: I can also wear my Campers with skirts and zip them up (with some effort) over skinnies.</p> <p>Go for it!! (I wouldn't even think of this as a splurge - although you definitely deserve one!! - comfortable boots like this will last you for years, it's a wise investment;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-on-the-boot-situation#post-55700 Mon, 23 Mar 2009 00:53:37 +0000 Angie 55700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My thumbs up too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-on-the-boot-situation#post-55628 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 09:42:48 +0000 yublocka 55628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya you are indeed up late. Must have been a big Persian NYE celebration - good stuff!!!</p> <p>You're right that endless don't deliver internationally, but I can always use a shipping service that lets me deliver to a US address then they post it out. Luckily for sites that offer free US shipping this makes the cost of the service + shippinh comparable to the $40 per pair zappos charges anyway (grrr). Shame that revolveclothing doesn't stock them because they have free international shipping. The lengths that we OS buyers have to go to!</p> <p>I'm glad you gave these the thumbs up. There's actually 2 types of camper spirals, these "Spiral helix" ones, and plain ole "Spiral" ones. Just to complicate things!</p> <p>Here's what the plain spirals look like:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000M3AZJG/ref=asc_df_B000M3AZJG745844?tag=the004-20&#038;creative=380337&#038;creativeASIN=B000M3AZJG&#038;linkCode=asn" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000M.....nkCode=asn</a></p> <p>These are the more traditional ones I think. The dude in the store said the Helix ones are a newer model based on the normal spirals, and made slimmer in the foot and all up the leg, and more of a pointy toe. I actually prefer the toe shape of the old Spirals I think, but they gaped a bit too much at my ankle. Annoyingly I could only try on a 40 in the spirals and they fit fine (but gaped), but they only had a 41 in the spiral helix, which also fit fine and didn't gape. So now I don't know if a 40/41 spiral helix would be best. I think to be safe I'd stick with the size 41's as I was wearing just very thin socklets that the store gives you.</p> <p>Can I justify this splurge as a reward for surviving my first internship rotation? (assuming I make it through this week!) I've started with the most horrible one of all, so if I can survive this I should be able to survive anything!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-on-the-boot-situation#post-55624 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 07:30:43 +0000 Maya 55624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh goodness, I can't believe I'm awake when the Australian ladies are on. I really need to get back to a normal sleeping habit...</p> <p>Anyway, I think they are nice boots and not too simple at all. I think it's possible to have boots that fit over jeans and bare legs at the same time. My LC's have some stretch at the top so I can wear them both ways.</p> <p>Of course a picture would be most helpful, but barring that possibility, I think up to 1/4" gap is okay, or maybe 1/2". I can't remember what the official Angie rule is but I'm going to err on the side of caution and say 1/4". Since that means nothing to you, it's .635cm.</p> <p>Does Endless ship abroad? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-on-the-boot-situation#post-55622 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 07:18:16 +0000 yublocka 55622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you are all probably bored to death of hearing my boots woes, but I have some progress to report today! </p> <p>I trekked up to Sydney and scoured every single shop there. I didn't find anything meeting my slouchy light brown boots requirements - there were a lot that were too short, too dark brown, or just looked too cheap. Made me scared this is going to become mission impossible!</p> <p>On the black boot front, I tried these camper spirals on:</p> <p><a href="https://shopping.zappos.com/n/p/dp/40222350/c/72.html" rel="nofollow">https://shopping.zappos.com/n/...../c/72.html</a></p> <p>I should have taken pics, but they did up over bare legs without *too* much of a gape, and I could still zip them up over my jeans. Am I kidding myself that they will work for both?</p> <p>I'm actually thinking of ordering them online - can you believe they are selling for AU$430 (US$296) in the camper shop here!!! Even including international shipping I'm sure I can get them cheaper online. They are actually on sale for $137 at endless.com.</p> <p>Interestingly zappos says the shaft height is 14 1/2" whereas endless says its 15 1/4" - that's a bit confusing!!</p> <p>I like the simplicity of the style, but do you think they are *too* simple? Or should I just go for it?</p> <p>tam </p>
