New boots should help you feel better I love the looks of those ebay ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-boots#post-121809 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 09:10:18 +0000 RoseandJoan 121809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love both boots, hopefully they both fit you. I'm glad to hear your recovery is going well and you are able to indulge in some retail therapy in the mean time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-boots#post-121793 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 05:13:06 +0000 Lee Hovey 121793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well now I have 2 options. I randomly found a pair of barely used Bagatelle Leather boots on eBay and just won then for $8.00 +shipping. Can you believe it?<br /> <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&#038;item=150408144871" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA.....0408144871</a></p> <p>The calf measurement is unclear on the auction but says 16+ (with elastic gore in the back), so I figured they were worth a try.</p> <p>I just hope they don't both fit well cause I might have to keep both. LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-boots#post-121711 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 21:15:29 +0000 Lee Hovey 121711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update: I ordered the boots from Ruche. Placed the order around noon yesterday, paying via Paypal (I LOVE when retailers provide the option for paypal). By 8pm last night I received tracking info for the package. </p> <p>Thats pretty quick, I am impressed so far. I expect to receive them tues or wed this week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-boots#post-121657 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 18:30:26 +0000 Lee Hovey 121657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks April! I will respond there </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-boots#post-121596 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 13:55:25 +0000 April 121596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kendra -- I don't know if you saw this with everything you have going on (glad you're feeling a bit better!) but Inge and I had added to your Duo boots thread last week: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/duo-boot-sizing" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....oot-sizing</a> Those boots are still available, and they seem to be an extra 10% off right now. Worth a try -- they really are 16" in the calf, with an added elastic insert at the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-boots#post-121463 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 20:59:40 +0000 Lee Hovey 121463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been trying, but it's hard to do my hair or put makeup on still. On the positive side, I am growing y hair out and it's right at that awkward in-between stage. Luckily I am stuck at home so I don't have to subject the world to my constant ponytail LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-boots#post-121372 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 16:34:23 +0000 Angie 121372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Kendra! Hugs!!! At least you're feeling better :0). You'll be out sporting your fab outfits soon enough. Make sure that the hair and top part of your body feels fab for now. Rest up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-boots#post-121371 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 16:28:31 +0000 Lee Hovey 121371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the tips and comments ladies!<br /> Rae, you're totally right that I prefer real leather, but it's been near impossible to find something in real leather, in a style I like, that will fit my monstrous calves </p> <p>I think the general consensus is "worth a try", so I think I will and then post some pics to get a final opinion.</p> <p>Angie, I am feeling much better now that I was feeling for months before surgery, so it's already a success. I just need to remind myself it's a slow and deliberate recovery, so I need to be patient. I really miss getting dressed in real outfits though... it's been 3 weeks since I was able to wear anything other than loose pants and fuzzy clogs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-boots#post-121344 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:31:41 +0000 Angie 121344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the boots! Hope they look as fab irl. </p> <p>How are you feeling, Kendra? Hang in there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-boots#post-121336 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:16:56 +0000 rae 121336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Because you said you prefer real leather, it makes me think that you are the kind of person who can usually tell the difference between real and fake pretty easily... and would be bothered by it. IMO, the leather looks pretty fake in the picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-boots#post-121334 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:14:23 +0000 Jean Gray 121334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to see you back! I like them, though I'm no expert on leather. From what I've seen of you I think they are a good fit style wise...they look "you".<br /> Love the name too...sound kind of "cowgirl-esque" I'd wear them just because they were named whiskey! (Though I don't drink it!)<br /> Hope your recovery moves along quickly for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-boots#post-121310 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 13:17:28 +0000 Inge 121310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Kendra, it's always a bit hard to judge quality just by looking at website pictures, but I think you should go for it. The colour looks fantastic and they are not ugly at all, au contraire;-)</p> <p>I'm glad to hear your operation went well, do take care of yourself and don't rush anything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-boots#post-121239 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 04:03:15 +0000 cciele 121239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, it's always hard to tell from photos, unfortunately. If they have a good return policy, order them and post photos! They definitely have potential. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-boots#post-121225 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 03:36:16 +0000 Lee Hovey 121225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been looking high and low for low heeled, cognac casual boots that will fit my 16 1/4"+ calves. I prefer real leather, but then I came upon these on Ruche. What do you think? Do they look too fake?? Or worth trying? Close enough? or UGLY??<br /> I have never ordered from them before so I don't know size accuracy and return process.</p> <p><a href="http://www.shopruche.com/whiskey-square-buckle-riding-boots-p-1562.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopruche.com/whisk.....-1562.html</a> </p>
