I got them. I hope they fill my wardrobe hole. :-)</p> <p>Deb, as it happens, the boutique I bought them from had them on sale too -- not as cheap as Amazon, but they were marked down by about eighty dollars.&nbsp;I try to support local and/or small retailers when I can, and I also prefer to walk home with the bag in hand, because then there are no surprises (manufacturer's defects etc). I would have paid full price these boots though, so the post-Christmas markdown was just a bonus. (Everything everywhere seems to be marked down at the moment!).</p> <p>Suz, that's a mid-height heel for me. A well-balanced shoe can have up to a&nbsp;2.5" heel (especially a block heel, like this one) and pose&nbsp;no problems -- but any higher than that, and my feet will eventually get sore if I walk a distance. Actually, 2.5" is the magic heel height -- it gives me just enough lift to wear knee-length coats well, but is low enough to be walking-all-day comfy. This is important, because if I'm walking all day, I've probably got a coat on, and most of my coats are at or just above the knee!</p> <p>Rae -- good to hear you like the brand. I am hoping these will be super useful -- like the perfect plain black tee shirt!</p> <p>Ariadne -- I know! This seems to be true for most things that have minimalist design -- not just footwear.&nbsp;It's all in the fabric, the stitching and&nbsp;the design itself, and I guess all those things cost money. (Thanks for the pm, btw -- I will get back to you when I've got more time).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-these-boots-and-a-problem-with-online-shopping#post-1420109 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 04:05:08 +0000 Ariadne 1420109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the Amazon ones are much cheaper, you could always order to one of the parcel receivers in Point Roberts... we use TSB. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-these-boots-and-a-problem-with-online-shopping#post-1420107 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 04:03:57 +0000 Ariadne 1420107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice. &nbsp;I have the Mars booties by Rachel Comey and they fill the same purpose (and are pricey--I got mine secondhand. &nbsp;Why are all the best plain booties the priciest?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-these-boots-and-a-problem-with-online-shopping#post-1420102 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 03:56:21 +0000 rae 1420102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like that brand. If they are as comfy as you say, I think they fit the bill. A plain bootie is so useful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-these-boots-and-a-problem-with-online-shopping#post-1420098 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 03:52:35 +0000 kristinarouse 1420098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that ankle boots,they look good but it won't never be enough,they must be comfy and won't rub your feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-these-boots-and-a-problem-with-online-shopping#post-1420048 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 02:35:49 +0000 Suz 1420048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd call them mid-casual and to me that's a pretty high heel. But they are beautiful! I would say go for them if they are comfortable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-these-boots-and-a-problem-with-online-shopping#post-1420046 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 02:28:13 +0000 deb 1420046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these!

Lol those are my idea of moderately dressy! Or at least refined. To me, casual boots have thicker, rougher leather, or a lug sole, or at least thicker treads.</p> <p>And yes, they are very, very comfortable. I've tried on like six hundred pairs of short boots, and these ones win. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-these-boots-and-a-problem-with-online-shopping#post-1420037 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 02:10:45 +0000 Angie 1420037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up if they're comfy. They are casual though - is that okay?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-these-boots-and-a-problem-with-online-shopping#post-1420023 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 01:37:57 +0000 Aziraphale 1420023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UmmLila, I see what you're saying -- but sometimes you just really need basics! I have lots and lots of footwear with 'personality'. I have no basic black short boots. (I used to, and I wore them so much they actually wore out).&nbsp;And I have been needing these for several years now. I'm always reaching for a pair of short black boots with chunky heels&nbsp;that I don't have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-these-boots-and-a-problem-with-online-shopping#post-1420016 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 01:27:53 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1420016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh well. I still like them and they are a brand that's known for being comfortable. But you know if you like the other boots better you may find more ways to wear them than you think. I got some cream colored boots this fall on a whim and they turned out to make everything a teeny bit more interesting than my usual blacks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-these-boots-and-a-problem-with-online-shopping#post-1420012 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 01:23:24 +0000 Aziraphale 1420012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Firecracker! I really like them. And they are very, very comfy. I think they only reason I'm waffling is that there are several pairs of shoes and boots out there right now that I like <i>more</i> but that I really, truly don't need. ;-)</p> <p>UmmLila, thanks for the tip -- but I'm in Canada, so shipping to and from Amazon.com is expensive. You can get some stuff&nbsp;on Amazon.ca, but not shoes or clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-these-boots-and-a-problem-with-online-shopping#post-1420009 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 01:15:29 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1420009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the way they look. I have a pair of coclico sandals that are a few years old that I still like and have held up well.</p> <p>I'm also a fan of local boutique shopping when possible, but I will mention that you could check them out from Amazon if only to test around the house. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KQG9G8K/ref=asc_df_B00KQG9G8K3483811?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&#038;tag=polyvore006-20&#038;linkCode=df0&#038;creative=395093&#038;creativeASIN=B00KQG9G8K" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KQ.....B00KQG9G8K</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-these-boots-and-a-problem-with-online-shopping#post-1420007 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 01:14:12 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1420007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't see the photos all that well because they are small. But I have to say, if you found a pair of Coclico boots that meet your criteria, go for them. Most of the shoes and boots I see in that brand are just so gorgeous. </p> <p>eta: I see them now. Just. so. fabulous. I think you can't go wrong.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-opinion-on-these-boots-and-a-problem-with-online-shopping#post-1420003 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 01:10:06 +0000 Aziraphale 1420003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>I've been on the lookout for an understated pair of short black boots for a long time.&nbsp;My requirements are that they must have&nbsp;a mid-height, block heel yet be comfortable enough to walk for miles in, a pleasing toe shape, and nice, non-shiny leather. I think I've found the right ones, but they are not cheap and because it's a small boutique I can't return them, so&nbsp;I'm putting them up for your opinions. Normally I'm quite decisive with shoes, but&nbsp;I'm not so good at committing to very plain ones -- yet&nbsp;I'm often reaching for a pair of boots that fit the above description, and they are not there!&nbsp;The brand is&nbsp;Coclico, and the model is called 'Adrienne'. I think they will go with bootcut pants as well as skinny pants, and probably with skirts, too. I specifically need them to wear with wider leg styles, because although I have a few pairs of black boots that are high enough, the heels are the wrong shape. I only like bootcut/flared pants with thick heels.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, on a side note: I CANNOT shop for shoes online because I need to physically see and touch the leather! These boots are a good example why.&nbsp;With something as simple as this boot, the leather makes all the difference. These are beautiful quality, soft and matte.&nbsp;</p>
