Mine are flat, I do not know how you girls can walk in heels. My back starts to ache. It must be an age thing. I could probably do it when I was younger.</p> <p>Anyway- good luck with the boots- I love your dramatic title of the post- we can all relate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-boots-desperate-hyperventilating-question#post-119892 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 17:59:09 +0000 Maya 119892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You will love them Jenny! I'm sure of it. They are so practical, comfortable, well made, and beautiful. I am a HUGE LC fan. I want more LC boots now now now now! But they did not have any good styles in my size when the sale was on </p> <p>I guess it isn't relevant now but I'm with Shana: I have a 6.5 and a 7 and both are comfortable but the 7's are better with warm socks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-boots-desperate-hyperventilating-question#post-119889 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 17:37:01 +0000 JennyK (NC) 119889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your help YLF friends. The 6pm website really didn't have a lot of choices in the La Canadiennes in my size, and in fact, the one I wanted most was unavailable in a 9 or 9.5.</p> <p>I decided on the Dazzle</p> <p><a href="http://www.6pm.com/la-canadienne-dazzle-black-suede-patent" rel="nofollow">http://www.6pm.com/la-canadien.....ede-patent</a></p> <p>I bought it in both the 9 and the 9.5 since you pay one flat rate for shipping. Worst case scenario is that I hate them, return both and am out probably $10 or less. Best case scenario is that I love one and return the other, and pay $4 or $5 return shipping.</p> <p>I can't wait for them to arrive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-boots-desperate-hyperventilating-question#post-119496 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 20:50:53 +0000 Inge 119496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for enlightening me Jenny, and I completely understand. In my experience, sometimes non-zip ankle boots are as difficult to get off as knee-high ones.</p> <p>I could see you in these, if you want a small heel.<br /> <a href="http://www.6pm.com/la-canadienne-talar-black-suede" rel="nofollow">http://www.6pm.com/la-canadienne-talar-black-suede</a></p> <p>Let us know what you decide? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-boots-desperate-hyperventilating-question#post-119488 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 20:37:54 +0000 JennyK (NC) 119488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge - I would love to get knee-high, but I'll settle for some weather-proof ankle boots. They still have to zip though. I've tried to get pull-style ankle boots on and off and can't do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-boots-desperate-hyperventilating-question#post-119486 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 20:35:21 +0000 Inge 119486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jenny</p> <p>I just had a look on the 6pm website but only see LC ankle boots on sale. Are you planning on getting knee-high ones or ankle boots?</p> <p>Anyway, Shana and Dashrashi have good suggestions for sizing and I'm holding thumbs that you'll be able to snap up a pair of LC's today!!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-boots-desperate-hyperventilating-question#post-119484 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 20:27:05 +0000 shana 119484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenny, I've only tried on LC's, never owned a pair but I waver between a 6.5 and a 7 and I definitely found the 7's to be more comfortable. My calf size is a little under 13" and most of the LC boots that I tried on were a good fit for me (but keep in mind that I wear a much smaller size). Generally, the shaft circumference definitely increases with size. I'm sorry, I'm not much help but thought I would bump this up for more input.</p> <p>BTW, my local Marshalls had several LC models on sale this past winter and I saw quite a few on the clearance racks this past week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-boots-desperate-hyperventilating-question#post-119483 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 20:24:05 +0000 Dashrashi 119483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would try the 9.5. I am generally a 9, occasionally a 9.5, and ordered a 9 and a 9.5 in the Passion style last year. (I tend to take a 40, maybe a 40.5, occasionally a 39.5 in euro sizes.) The 9 fit fine (plenty of room, even for a thick-ish sock), and was a bit smaller around in the calf than the 9.5 (my calves are 14" and the 9 only gapes a little). Your calf is a little narrow--calf circumference increases with shoe size, unfortunately, but some LCs have relatively narrow calf sizes anyway. I think it's probably worth a try if you can find something you like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-boots-desperate-hyperventilating-question#post-119474 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 19:48:23 +0000 JennyK (NC) 119474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Darn it - I forgot to mention another factor... I have a physical limitation that rules out pull on boots. I can't get them off without help and I don't always have help, so my boots have to have a zipper.</p> <p>Poo. I suspect I may not be able to take advantage of the sale at all.</p> <p>sob, sob, weep, weep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-boots-desperate-hyperventilating-question#post-119473 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 19:46:03 +0000 JennyK (NC) 119473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A couple of folks posted that LC were on sale on 6pm.com for $69, which I know is a fantastic price. I am now hyperventilating, because I feel I simply can not pass up a deal like this.</p> <p>Unfortunately, I have never tried on this brand and am totally unfamiliar with fit, etc. Help! I don't quite know what to say my size is because I have 9, 9.5 &amp; 10 in my closet. In Euro sizes I have 41 &amp; 42 in the closet. </p> <p>How do I know my calf size? I know they're not big. The calf circumference quoted on sites always seems be for an American size 6 shoe. I suspect mine is very average at ~13.5 for a size 9-10 shoe and 5'10" height. I imagine that the shaft circumference increases with the shoe size, but is that incorrect?</p> <p>I have stilletto boots already. I don't like the look or feel of completely flat shoes, so I would like boots with something resembling a small heel.</p> <p>I desperately want to take advantage of this sale. Is it today only? Tell me what to buy and what size and I'll just go on there and buy it! </p>
