Angie-recommended boots: review

Hey Fabbers! I ordered the brown metallic booties that Angie recommended in her latest roundup and had to pop in here to show them off. They are so very fab! An unusual find in brown and a perfect bookend for brunette hair. Patent leather is an all-time fave so I was magnetically attracted to the gleam of these boots! I’m planning to wear them to some work meetings in NYC so here they are with a “corporate Laura” outfit. The heel height is on the high side of manageable for me, and with an insole they are plenty comfy.
I wouldn’t wear them to spend a day walking in the city, but for an evening out or to work, they are that perfect combination of dressy yet distinctive. Did anyone else get these? Let me know your thoughts!

Thanks for the validation, sweet Laura. They are KILLER boots. I have them in cream, and yours are perfect in that ultra unique shade of metallic brown. Gorgeous with your earthy hair and wardrobe items. You will dazzle in NYC - from the inside and out!

Mine though are kept for dressy and short walking occasions since the heels are too high for my every day style.

Ooh - gorgeous on you, Laura! I love them. Nicely shaped toe and yes, who doesn't love the gleam?

Kyle

Great boots and outfit. Love your style.

kkards

Omg love these. Like you I have a sweet spot for anything patent leather, and I love the higher shaft. Must step away from the boots.

Oh, and I like your outfit a lot. And the brown with black. Nice

I have these on order and can’t wait to get them ! I LOVE anything in patent leather - and the fact that they are brown makes me irrationally happy :). Love them on you , and I’m thrilled to hear they are so comfy .

SarahD8

Really sharp. I love how you've styled them here.

Sal

These are gorgeous boots and I am pleased they are comfortable too. I really love them.

Kate

I’m dreaming of these beauties in brown patent. I guess I should be grateful (but I’m not) that Nordstrom doesn’t have them in my size.

cindysmith

Super cute!

kellygirl

I can’t wait for mine to arrive. They only had my normal size in stock—not the half size up. Fingers crossed they look as fab on me as they do on you! Will report back!

Jaime

Shiny and good!

Aquamarine

They are gorgeous and I’d be all over them if I could justify buying more boots this year.

rachylou

So cool!

Roxanna

I have a pair of aquatalias that are identical except for a slightly lower kitten heel. I bought them probably 15 years ago and they are such workhorses for me! Hope yours end up being the same

Laura

Oh, you all are so very sweet! Thank you for the kind replies -- I feel certain I'm going to get some mileage out of these new boots!

Angie, "dazzling from the inside out" = life goals! Thank you for the recommendation and I can't wait to show the boots off in NYC!
Kyle, waving to you! Thanks for the style validation!
kkards, yes! I enjoy brown and black too. I'm curious to see if there will be a lot of people wearing this the color combination on the streets of NYC. (Or maybe just black and black, lol!)
Lisa p, fellow patent leather lover, did you get your boots yet?? Must know your thoughts on them!
sarahD8, "Sharp" is the perfect word for them, given the pointy toe and shiny patent leather. Thank you!
Sal, do you also have them? In brown? How fab! We need to start a club
Kate, they are so very unusual in brown patent. I'm sorry (or should I be glad? lol!) that Nordstrom doesn't have your size.
CindySmith, "Supercute" is the name of a Prince song, so you've just made me smile!
KellyGirl, did you receive them yet? I hope they work for you too! Can't wait to see them on you!
Shevia, shiny equals good in my book too!
Aquamarine, I probably couldn't justify it either but I didn't think I would see the likes of them again so I made room in my wardrobe for them!
RachyLou, yes, trying to add an element of c-o-o-l to Corporate Laura's look
Roxanna, 15 years for your Aquatalias! WOW. I have a pair that's maybe 7 years old and I thought that was good. Kitten heels never go out, do they?

notsaf

SO pretty!

Sweet, Laura. You ALEADY dazzle from the inside out. #goalachieved

RobinF

Wow these look gorgeous on you! Perfect with the outfit too.

Firecracker (Sharan)

They look great! (So do you!) The boots just make that outfit.

Ooh, I just got mine today. They are gorgeous and plenty roomy in my regular size. I will have to try them with outfits to see how well they work in my closet. As far as comfort goes, they feel great in the foot--maybe even a little roomy at least without socks. The shaft is the only potential issue--the right side rubs a bit on the inside. I think that would be cured with a sock and with some breaking in. We will see...

Kelly, the boots do break in on the shaft!

Good to know! Thanks, Angie. I will be doing some outfit creation this weekend--hopefully.

Bijou

What a gorgeous boot - they look beautiful on you. I like Angie's cream boots too.

Yes - I got mine a few days ago and love them! Size seems just fine. I haven't worn them yet, and may take them in to get a better rubber sole on the bottom .
