A couple pairs of skinny jeans I'm hanging onto for I have no idea why; couple pairs of straightleg, and easily a couple dozen boot cuts. My favourites of which are cuddly soft and as faded as the dickens. They are also frayed at the hems and seams, no holes, though. At least not yet. Like you, I haunt the flea markets and other thrift stores so I didn't have to do the hard work myself to get them like this. Only a very few have a slim knee break, most are full enough just below the knee to handle a cuff top boot with out it showing through. As long as they are tight from the waist to the knee I'm happy.</p> <p>To answer you question about whether the boots will be worn under or over, it's always under, with all my boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots/page/2#post-612409 Fri, 04 May 2012 18:54:59 +0000 Meredith1953 612409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cool boots! I could totally see them with a simple shift dress that let the boots do all the talking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-612369 Fri, 04 May 2012 18:12:24 +0000 rae 612369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie, since I don't know your jean collection, I am not 100% sure which to suggest. The shorter ones will definitely make it easier to deal with a slim knee break if you have tighter fitting jeans. </p> <p>Which way will you want to wear the boots most of the time? Mostly under, or mostly over? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-612159 Fri, 04 May 2012 13:08:07 +0000 Julie 612159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No worries, Mo. I guess Rae and I are on our own with the tall boots under look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-612045 Fri, 04 May 2012 04:40:37 +0000 Mo 612045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, Julie, I don't see the sense in wearing tall boots under jeans, since you don't see the shaft, so I never have. I will say they are great for skinny calves - I don't even measure 12.5 inches even when I'm running a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-612039 Fri, 04 May 2012 04:31:54 +0000 Julie 612039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for the sizing info Rae, and Mo. Also, I never knew there was a short version of the boots Do you suggest I should get them for wearing under jeans? From what I can see in your pictures, the tall ones go under very well, and it's pretty hard to beat the look and feel of a nice tall boot worn under jeans? You picked good jeans for the demonstration, Rae; they do a wonderful job of covering the boots. Looks like they come to within a 1/2 inch of the floor, too. PPL as Angie would say.</p> <p>Question for MO. How do your Julia's look and feel when you wear them under?</p> <p>Would any of the other members care to chime in on wearing tall boots under jeans? The more the merrier!!</p> <p>Cheers<br /> Julie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-612031 Fri, 04 May 2012 04:16:48 +0000 Mo 612031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just to add on the Julia's review - I wear 7 or 7.5 depending, and the 7.5 Julia's barely fit me. I got them open box at Amazon Wearhouse so maybe sizing was the issue in the first place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-612021 Fri, 04 May 2012 04:03:48 +0000 rae 612021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, Julie, some scientific research for you. </p> <p>Showing the Julias under two different types of jeans. The boot shaft is high on these, so it does interfere with the knee break on some of my jeans. 1-3 is a very lightweight stretch denim with a slim knee break - the boots do show through on these. 4-5 is a heavier denim with much less stretch and a wider knee break - on these you can feel the laces touch the fabric, but I don't feel that the boots interfere with the way they hang. </p> <p>As for the colors, I've only seen black, brown, and gray. However they also come in a shorter version that comes in tan and two-tone colors.<br /> <a href="http://www.endless.com/dp/B003XDVB0E/ref=asc_df_B003XDVB0E2001938?tag=googlecom09c9_endless-20&#038;creative=395033&#038;linkCode=asn&#038;creativeASIN=B003XDVB0E" rel="nofollow">http://www.endless.com/dp/B003.....B003XDVB0E</a></p> <p>ETA: note on sizing: I usually wear 8.5 but got the 8 in the Julias. Some say the footbed is too narrow, but it is perfect on my almost-narrow feet and ankles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-611982 Fri, 04 May 2012 03:22:43 +0000 Julie 611982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd better get some Frye Julias on order, too. They sound perfect for my lifestyle. What colours are available, and what colour or colours do you suggest? If you say they are great under boot cuts, it must be so!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-611553 Thu, 03 May 2012 19:11:08 +0000 rae 611553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, glad you're going to try them, Julie! We posted at the same time. </p> <p>The Julias are great under bootcuts - I will have to snap a pic for you. I can't praise them enough... when DH and I didn't feel like paying $15 for parking at a recent baseball game, I hiked up a giant hill and like 4 flights of stairs in them without any foot complaints at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-611548 Thu, 03 May 2012 19:07:23 +0000 rae 611548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I've been keeping my beady eyes on your boot posts for sure, Una. Maybe they have been rubbing off on me! I thought that maybe the black version was too harsh/bondage-y, and I have black boots already. They've gotten good enough response here that I'll probably give them a try after May Madness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-611529 Thu, 03 May 2012 18:52:23 +0000 Julie 611529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, thanks so much for all that extra market research you did. All very valid points when it come to wearing tall boots under jeans. I figured I'd take the chance. The wost that can happen is I send them back, right?</p> <p>That reminds me; how did your Frye Julias work under boot cuts? I think they would look really good that way. If they do, I'm going to get a pair for myself.</p> <p>Once again, thanks</p> <p>Cheers<br /> Julie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-611480 Thu, 03 May 2012 18:15:01 +0000 catgirl 611480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, see my boot post for weird boots with steampunk details. I like these but the vibe somehow seems more like a black boot. On the other hand, the color makes them more out of the box. They are definitely in your style range! Any way to try them or are they all final sale on ebay or whatever? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-611364 Thu, 03 May 2012 15:53:54 +0000 rae 611364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie, I did a wee bit of mass emailing to Ebay sellers who have these boots... only one has replied so far, but he said that the circumference at the widest part of the calf with the laces fully tightened is 12 inches - quite a big difference from the 16 inches listed on the product page! So my theory is that they can have a snug fit by cinching the laces in. </p> <p>The wild card is going to be the shin guard - the straps might need extra holes to tighten them all the way, and it's possible they will come up high enough to interfere with the knee break of bootcuts - however that depends on the length of your shin and the cut of your jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-611347 Thu, 03 May 2012 15:25:27 +0000 Irene 611347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like those for you, Rae! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-611333 Thu, 03 May 2012 15:17:14 +0000 Jem 611333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-611330 Thu, 03 May 2012 15:16:17 +0000 Julie 611330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, you are the devil!! Showing me a pair of boots like that. Oh well, good thing tax season brings in lots of extra money. Just one question to everyone before the finger goes down. Do you think they will fit under boot cut jeans OK? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-611251 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:07:18 +0000 rae 611251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jayne and Kristin, it's like you can read my mind! LOL I may or may not be selling a bunch of stuff on Ebay in hopes of paying for them... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-611207 Thu, 03 May 2012 12:48:09 +0000 Kristin L 611207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those boots are awesome.

I like the platforms and heels! 4" heels! Tough and sexy all at once. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-611151 Thu, 03 May 2012 06:38:34 +0000 rae 611151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jayne, these are them:<br /> <a href="http://www.6pm.com/timberland-boot-company-marge-wood-tall-boot-brownish-black" rel="nofollow">http://www.6pm.com/timberland-.....nish-black</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-611143 Thu, 03 May 2012 06:20:55 +0000 jayne 611143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MUST SEND LINK TO SOURCE!

They are kind of like a crazy steampunk boot, with the straps and flaps and rivets.They would fit pretty much like my Julias, and I'm initially envisioning with a simple black dress or with skinnies and a plain shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-610953 Thu, 03 May 2012 02:19:38 +0000 Transcona Shannon 610953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That flap of leather on the shin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-610952 Thu, 03 May 2012 02:18:35 +0000 rae 610952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When you say overlay, which part do you mean?

I do like the shape of them though and the colour is yummy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping-pretty-pretty-boots#post-610862 Thu, 03 May 2012 01:04:40 +0000 Aida 610862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm I like them except for the platform sole. Doesn't jive with the rest of the boot's attitude to me. </p>
