Ask Angie: more opinions on footwear please!

Sveta

I am going over the border tomorrow to try on my "Shoe Mountain" and hopefully have something to keep. As I have one shot at this only I would really appreciate opinions on these particular styles I have ordered.

Not Angie, but wanted to wish you good luck - hope you and Jonesy have your crampons and ice axes ready for the mountain. I've heard the storms are bad this year.

(the only thing I wonder about is that gold buckle on the Tory Burch boots - what do you think of that?)

Sarah, thanks! I also have my oxygen mask ready...just in case
I don't know about that gold buckle: I need to see it in person. The pickings are so slim in my size that I cannot be too picky myself

Sveta, have you looked at my top picks list for footwear? If not, I think you'd find it helpful!!!

I would pass on all of these but the Fryes! They could work.

The DV Folly is NOT comfortable, as cute as it is. That's why it did not make my list.

What is your calf circumference?

I would head for the Donald J Pliners boots, and the SW's in boots and flats. Buy oxblood boots! You love that colour don't you?

I just wanted to wish you lots of fun tomorrow, and hope you'll come home with at least one pair of fabulous boots!

Angie, I did not ask about footwear from you list which I ordered (Cole Haan wedges, SE python booties, Cole Haan tall boots - I got them in black but if they fit can consider getting them in oxblood as well, SW flats) because - well, it was on your list :-0

Oh, I missed another one I ordered - SM Bankker

Is it no good as well?

Pliners do not come in my size as well as majority of others from your list - otherwise I would be all over them! :-(((
Looks like I have a very slim chance to get any footwear tomorrow but better that than getting something I would not love!
My calf c. is around 16" so I have a very slim hope anything will fit..
Oh, just checked Cole Haan boots in oxblood - my size is not there anymore.
Well, it seems this NAS is going to be pretty budget friendly for me.
Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it!
Inge, thank you for the compassion!!!

Sveta, I tried the Miz Mooz Kacy in brown and really liked them, but I didn't end up with them because they're too much like ones I already have. They can't compare to the AGLs, but then they're only a fraction of the price.

Aha! Got it

Go to Nordies tomorrow and try on what you can. I like what you ordered off the list. If you end of with three pairs of shoes - that's brilliant.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Parsley, thanks, I guess i will see tomorrow if I like them too and if they like me
Angie, thanks. I would consider myself lucky if I end up with only one pair but it must be KILLER!

Sveta,
It may be obvious, but be sure to ask if they have the Cole Hahn in oxblood: they may have one in store or can call and find you a pair if you lie the fit.

Have fun on your trek!

Good luck on your shopping expedition! I have a 14.75-15" calf and wear a 6.5. I was hopeful about the Frye Trapunto. Took them out of the box, drooled over how nice were, but my foot barely made the ankle turn. When I finally got them on, they wouldn't go all the way up my leg. I think my lower calf is too wide where it should be narrow because I am short. These may work for you since you are taller.

The Cole Haan Jodphur were much easier to get on because of the side stretch panel. I had to size up to 7 for the foot width. The oxblood is a pretty dusty burgundy color and really comfy.
