(But then, my chunky cankles are what I have to dress around and wish I could wish away, hence the warning at the start.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-rate-and-bedheadalso-a-kr-sorels#post-811473 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 04:15:45 +0000 Makrame 811473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot wear boots that don't zip up or pull on easily. I bought Sorelia Earheart boots last year that have a side zipper - love them (had to add a shearling insole from Zappos to make them warmer). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-rate-and-bedheadalso-a-kr-sorels#post-811431 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 03:24:11 +0000 Karie 811431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the boots, but having to lace them up would mean I just wouldn't wear them that much. I prefer pull on - easy to get on, easy to get off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-rate-and-bedheadalso-a-kr-sorels#post-811201 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 23:59:15 +0000 Day Vies 811201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hair color -- very cute. I used to have that color and I so miss it! Boots also cute in a tough kind of way. I like how it plays nice with the belt. I'd wear it to run errands and straighten up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-rate-and-bedheadalso-a-kr-sorels#post-811033 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 19:54:45 +0000 Suz 811033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My only true winter gear boots are a short pair of Salomon hiking style snow boots, so they lace up, but they don't come up so high. I don't mind the laces at all - they're easy to do, like skates.</p> <p>I have a pair of insulated Clarks knee high boots with a zip that are for town walking in the snow. And an uninsulated but waterproof pair of Timberlands that are knee high, plus a pair of Blundstone's that are pull on chelsea style. </p> <p>My next gear boots I think will be something like what you have there. As well as a pair of true rainboots (another wardrobe hole). Hard to say if the on - off will bother you a lot, but you might try it a bunch of times in the house to get a clearer sense of that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-rate-and-bedheadalso-a-kr-sorels#post-811012 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 19:24:51 +0000 Glory 811012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chiming back in from the snowy climates. I have several gear boots. My sorels pull on but also have a bungee style lace if you want them tighter (high snow). these are extreme boots and go to -50 degrees. I wear them when I need to be outside for several hours at a time. Then I have a pair of Columbias which are shaft height with a side zipper. These are my most frequently used boots to run around for errands, pick up kids, take them to sports, go the gym. I also have an in between pair from Pajar which are leather, sheepskin inside, but they lace up. They are very warm but honestly I rarely wear them because of the lace. You would not be able to keep boots on indoors here as the weather is too sloppy. I think that is why I need the easy on/off,. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-rate-and-bedheadalso-a-kr-sorels#post-810997 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 19:08:46 +0000 rae 810997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I did not notice any difficulty getting them on or off at all. On me, the laces loosened very easily and on their own after the top was untied... they kind of like... depressurized and sprang open. Not like a boot with normal eyelets, where you have to pull at the laces several times to get on and off. I think if I had to do all that I might have been irritated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-rate-and-bedheadalso-a-kr-sorels#post-810996 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 19:08:32 +0000 Transcona Shannon 810996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My true winter gear boots are both - one is zippers and one is laces. I always think of skates when I'm doing up the laces version. I absolutely prefer the zippered pair for quick and easy in/out but don't mind the laces. For me personally, buckles would drive me crazy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-rate-and-bedheadalso-a-kr-sorels#post-810994 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 19:04:44 +0000 catgirl 810994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, Shannon and other winter climate folks, do you prefer zippers, lace, pull-on or some combination? I find that true gear boots either lace or pull on (to avoid water influx)... I think laces are easier than buckles, but zip-off most convenient. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-rate-and-bedheadalso-a-kr-sorels#post-810992 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 19:01:43 +0000 Transcona Shannon 810992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Amy said - just subsitute Winnipeg for Wyoming! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-rate-and-bedheadalso-a-kr-sorels#post-810985 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 18:48:37 +0000 Glory 810985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your style. The boots are fab but the lace up would be a deal breaker for me. I live in a very cold and snowy zone. Winter boots have to be easy on and off for me because of the frequency of use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-rate-and-bedheadalso-a-kr-sorels#post-810973 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 18:35:11 +0000 Tricia 810973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yeah, given where you are, I think fashion-gear crossover works. I like the outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-rate-and-bedheadalso-a-kr-sorels#post-810970 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 18:33:03 +0000 catgirl 810970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, what did you think of the on/off ease with lacing them up? It's the only reason I have not worn them out, I'm trying to decide if it's a total pain. Thistle makes a good point. Once they are on, they'd be on for the day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-rate-and-bedheadalso-a-kr-sorels#post-810964 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 18:31:00 +0000 rae 810964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still love the boots, and I would have kept and worn as a fashion-gear crossover if I lived where you do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-rate-and-bedheadalso-a-kr-sorels#post-810917 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 18:03:59 +0000 Thistle 810917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skinnies and sweater. Looks amazing on you, and so comfy and cozy.</p> <p>I am going to go against the flow here and say return the boots. In a previous post, you mentioned how you did not much wear your boots that laced IF they didn't have a zipper once you adjusted the laces. You were in a hurry in th emornings, and tended to bypass antyhing that was difficult or time consuming to don. Based on that, I do not think you will wear them much.</p> <p>That said, I love my sorrels (wore them into the office today and changed my shoes once there). Only you know if you will go through the process of putting them on often enough to make it a good purchase. Other than that, I would vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-rate-and-bedheadalso-a-kr-sorels#post-810909 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 17:52:57 +0000 Amy 810909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't imagine living in Alaska and not having boots like those! I always had a pair of sorels when living in Wyoming and Montana. Snow, slush, mud...whatever. You need good boots that keep your feet warm and dry. Those are also rather cool looking boots. KEEP </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-rate-and-bedheadalso-a-kr-sorels#post-810906 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 17:50:47 +0000 Kristin SF 810906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those boots! Shaft height looks great to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-rate-and-bedheadalso-a-kr-sorels#post-810905 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 17:50:17 +0000 Anonymous 810905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shaft height looks fine -- they look like a sleeker version of my Cate the Great Sorels.</p> <p>Love the skinnies and half-tuck sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-rate-and-bedheadalso-a-kr-sorels#post-810889 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 17:34:20 +0000 kkards 810889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like the boots. Yup, they're gear, but they are fashionable gear. actually, when i think alaska, this is part of what i picture. and i would think that waterproof would be huge for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-rate-and-bedheadalso-a-kr-sorels#post-810887 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 17:32:14 +0000 JuneBug 810887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say these boots are still gear on you, but the shaft length looks fine to me! Black on denim is an errand staple for me too and I change up my footwear depending on how much I want to amp my look- slight heels to a departmental store, flat riding boots to the grocery or driving around. Your bedhead is pretty sleek! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yesterday-rate-and-bedheadalso-a-kr-sorels#post-810884 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 17:27:42 +0000 catgirl 810884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday was a day of errands and cleaning up after my family left... These are Gap Really Skinnies size up twice, with a thrifted cashmere sweater. Wore my burgundy Docs out of the house. Bonus authentic bedhead!</p> <p>Interestingly, I think this is an outfit I would have worn at any point in my life: high school, college, law school, and on through to today. Distressed denim and a black topper are apparently a lifetime formula for me.</p> <p>The Sorel boots are a K/R Christmas gift. Rae tried these and they looked fab on her though the forum agreed they are gear. Are they too much gear for me? What do we think of the shaft height? They will definitely be useful year round here. They are comfy but because there is no zipper they are a little bit of a pain to get on and off with the laces. However, I think that's the tradeoff for being fully waterproof.</p> <p>Feedback welcome! </p>
