The color is called Velvet Brown and it is the same in the Gooro or the Gallivanto.

Thanks. I had a chance to look in a Nine West store over the weekend & they had the boots but only in black and of course no size 11's.

I like those boots!! Even like the color. rx

I tried the black in the store. Need a pair of black casual boots.

TBG: Hey! How did you know that I don't like hiding my knees? HA!

HappyFeat: Well, it wasn't that cold on Sunday. However, we just got another half foot of snow overnight, so it looks like I won't be going back out for awhile. Urgh!

Dawn HH: Yes, getting unexpected compliments are always great for the ego. Meanwhile, I'm still trying to accept Daniel Craig as Bond.

It's tough to accept him as Bond. Bond would NEVER trash an Aston Martin like he did. Did you know he can't drive a stick shift?

Coming Soon...

While they are not the typical high heel boot these are a functional wedge boot. And on sale hopefully will have them by the end of the week.

Bootking, Nice pictures, the boots & jeans look great. rx

Jeffb Sounds like a great outting.

I've tried those before. They didn't fit! I was crushed.

I tried them also and they fit great. Too bad I've max'ed my shoe budget for the week.

Wow, nice boots. I just googled them and found Helen

I agree. Nice boots

I love this style: http://www.amazon.com/AK-Anne-Klein-Womens-Aroma/dp/B001BNSUNY/ref=pd_sbs_shoe_4/177-8916310-2771202 - they could go well with a tailcoat or tuxedo.

Rats.. The largest size is size 10.

Here's an idea... Since a few of us can't make it across the pond for WHM 2009, how about a gathering on this side of the pond the same day. Maybe an appointed hour for both groups to gather? Some place with an internet link to share the event? Would NYC be a possible gathering place? rx

That took balls considering how cold it was. rx

Thanks for the heads-up on the comfilon hose, but I am quite happy to stick with wearing pantyhose.

Cheers---

Dawn HH

They are pantyhose.

Boots for me too. Knee boots or ankle boots. brrr rx

I can't speak for the rest of the board, but I'd like to hear the story...

Vector,

Thanks for the support but I'd rather not tell it.

I've seen this brand advertised on here more than once. Are they more durable than hose made by other companies, such as No Nonsense and L'eggs?

I love the thought of perhaps tights instead of hose to wear with boots, but I have other clothing ideas in mind to go with those. Also, tights might be warmer in the cooler months.

SQ,

They are quite durable. I have been wearing them since the company 1st launched. They also offer sheer and tights with a fly opening, price has gone up since I bought my 1st pairs but well worth it.

Want to give you guys a heads up Confilon has a sale on hose.

http://www.comfilon.com/catalogsheerpantyhose.asp?SID=2FFAD6A6-9699-4F09-9926-06F86144147C

They are about midway on the page.

I have a new pair of Kork-Ease sandals that were really popular in the 70's plus I have several other similar styles by other companies. What really cracks me up is many of the boots sold for women today are exactly like the boots that I had in the 70's that were men's styles. I wore them every day to school. Those were the days!! I loved plats then and still do.

doc41 I remember when Kork-Ease sandals were only $35. My originals bit the dust a few years ago, they were comfortable sandals.

morpho,

The boots are from Naturalizer I forget the style name but I picked them up in one of the outlet stores. They have a 3" heel which is more of a cone shape with a pointed toe. They are stretch knee high and black in color. I received a coupon via email so I went back and bought the same boots in brown.

My friend knows of my heeling we have often discussed it during a few happy hour sessions.

The SO is another story.

As promised here are shots of the boots...

This is how I was dressed

Easier to tuck them in with straight leg jeans

Tonight I had a great outing. Went for my manicure & pedicure and a friend joined me at the salon. During our session she suggested that we go eat once we were done. I looked down and saw I had on my beat up clogs, thank goodness I keep a pair of boots in my trunk. Once I arrived at the restaurant she asked what took you so long? I told her look down and she got real excited with my boots telling me how much she liked them. They had a 3" heel and kind of a pointed toe looked almost like the boots she had on. So both of us walked into the place heels clicking it was great. We sat at the bar and my heels were in plain view. I caught one of the waitresses taking a glance at my boots and she looked up an smiled. Then came the bathroom trip. Trying to move quickly to the restroom I lost footing but recovered before going down. My 1st actual social outing in heels and it was great. rx ps I'll post some pics of the boots soon.

I too wear hose. Tights during the winter and sheers during the summer. Yes hose in the summer for my office tends to be on the chilly side in the summer. rx

I just bought some Nine West knee socks on sale 3 for $18 today. They had a sticker that said great for boots. I wore them with a pair of my boots this evening and they were quite comfortable. rx

Anyone remember Miami Vice? Lots of heels in that show also. rx

The same for me and I also wear dress slacks.

Bootcut jeans for me to.
