I'm really attracted to this pair:

http://www.endless.com/Corso-C.....Promotions

On top of the sale price, it has additional 20% off.

My questions:
1. Would it work with my petite frame?
2. Can I wear it with skinny jeans, casual dress, sweater dress and jean skirts?
3. Does anyone know anything about this brand? Are they well made?

Thanks a lot!

I think they are SWEET boots and I say yes to everything in the second question. You'll have to try them on to see if they work for your leg length, but it's definitely worth finding out.

I tried on a pair of CC flats at DSW once and they were RIDICULOUSLY narrow. Granted, I have very wide feet, but I can still at least get medium width shoes on my foot without any trauma or struggling. I was in pain before I even stood up because my foot was so squashed inside. I don't know if they always run so narrow, but those were crazy. They felt like a 6.5AA.

BTW Julia, this is OT but I just wanted you to know that any time we saw giraffe print at the YLF convention, we thought of you

I've had Corso Como flats on, and they do run kind of narrow. I wear a regular width shoe, and they were a bit narrow. But very cushy and comfortable. I haven't ever owned a pair, so I can't speak to their wear and quality. They seem good quality in person, but I'm not shoe expert.

I love those boots! They are kind of funky western boots. They are at least worth a try on, I think.

Maya, how sweet of you to let me know that! I actually think of YLF whenever I see giraffe prints since you guys have made me adore them so much more!

Hmm, regarding the width, that would be a deal breaker since my feet are definitely not narrow. Does Endless offer free return as well?

Endless offers free overnight shipping and free returns, Julia. I'm not sure if their boots might be better though. You never know. I don't think you have anything to lose by trying.

There was lots of giraffe out there. Angie said you and I were basically body doubles!

Ana thanks for the confirmation! I hardly wear any western style, I wonder if I can pull it off.

Maya thanks for the shipping info on Endless. I guess it doesn't hurt to give it a try. Also I'm sure that we are body doubles. When you mentioned the frustration with shoulder bags slipping off your shoulders I almost laughed out loud, basically you were describing my frustration in the exact words. I was too busy to reply at that time though.

Ah so I'm not the only one! I noticed when looking at my pictures today that my shoulders slope a lot! I have pretty terrible posture so I wonder if that is to blame (at least for me).

I didn't see them as western. Maybe Ana does because she is from Texas

I've placed the order. I'll let you know if they work out or not.

After Ana mentioned it, I do think they look western to me. We'll find out...

I think it was the toe of the boot reminded me of cowboy boots. I kind of want to get a pair of pukka cowboy boots, since I'm not actually from Texas but live here, the novelty factor is still high for me. But I wonder how I would fit them into my style, so I just admire them from afar.

I love this brand and these are an absolute steal! I definitely vote for you to purchase them because they can go with so much. Love the color and the versatility (jeans, skirts, boho dress in the summer). And endless.com is one of the best places to buy shoes because they have such wonderful policies and excellent customer service. I always check them first when making a shoe purchase.

I agree with the previous posts that these are definitely on the Western side, but you could easily pull them off and not look like a cowgirl as long as you stay away from plaid shirts when you wear them. I have to confess, however, that I love the cowgirl look, so don't be afraid to sport that either!

I LOVE those boots and would buy them in a heartbeat! I have no experience with the brand, unfortunately. They'd definitely work all the ways you want to wear them, and Nina Garcia says every girl needs a pair of cowboy boots. These are a fun twist on the style.

I have a pair of corso como flat riding boots, slouchy too...and they are excellent, very nice leather for the price. http://liminal-judy.blogspot.c.....ouchy.html
I say get them!

I love Corso Como! I bought a pair of flat t-strap sandals and received them right before a trip, and I never had to break them in. I have narrower feet, and they were snug, but I expected the leather to stretch a bit with hot feet in hot weather. I like this brand because of their company values, too. It is a pricey brand, but for sale prices like you are getting it will be an excellent find!

The boots are really cute. The one thing I would be careful of pairing with them, is denim--it could look a little too cowgirl costume-y. Know what I mean?

Thanks everyone for your comments!

Jackie, Judy and Laura, thanks for the vote of confidence in this brand, I hope they won't be too narrow for me.

Brianna, I just got "The One Hundred" book from Amazon. I immediately turned to the cowboy boots chapter you mentioned. It's so informative.

Nicole, I know exactly what you meant. I found an article about how to wear cow boots online. It's pretty good. I'll try some of the ways mentioned in the article to see if it would work for me: http://www.collegefashion.net/.....boy-boots/

This is so out of my style so I keep my fingers crossed. But like Angie said, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I've got the boots for a while but just got chance to take the pictures. They are not too narrow, very comfortable with good arch support, beautiful color and great quality. I love them!

Here are the outfits I wore them with:
