Mme. President, I apologize for the delay in reporting my field research.
Here's what I've tried ~
Cole Haan Lynda short boots:

They do gape but look fine to my eye ~ probably b/c they are taller. I wore them today for the first time; not sure if I will wear them with dresses/skirts or just pants & jeans.

These are almost like wearing sneakers, they are so comfortable. No weird gaping.
Clarks Diamond Cameo:

Love the look of these, but they hurt my ankle bones like heck. I thought they looked fine on me though.
Munro Tate boot:

These are really wide at the top and I thought they looked funny on me.
