Who has bought some new BOOTS?

Thighbootguy: about fifteen minutes to put them on for the first time, about five to remove before bed. I did intend to make it easier to keep them on then remove them ;)

The rounder toe is comfortable, and while snug on the sides I can tell these will break in wonderfully. I really was hoping for 4.5" heel and not 5", but I was able to make dinner, feed dogs, do laundry, etc around the house last night. These might be my training boots.

 

I remember trying on a thigh high Hot Peppers ballet boot years ago. Only tried one as it took 45 minutes combined to put on/take off and i could tell it was too small.

Sky Scrapers UK, Valentina round toe with a 4.5" heel, eyelet lacing all the way up :)

Looks like a 4.5" in UK8 is just over 5".

Hey Rockpup,

Loving your new Valentina boots, like the round toe box and great colour....are they Berry Red? How are you finding the quality of SkyScraper.

Your post inspired me to wear my grey Gabrielle boots today. Cheated big time though, as well hidden under flared pants.

Aristoc:I am quite happy with the comfort and quality. Have worn them for a few hours so far and expect them to mold perfectly to my feet. Still not sure how long it will be for me to wear the 5.5" out and about though ;)

As said, still catching up on recent purchases, Stuart Weitzman Highland boots. Found them at Nordstrom Rack for a surprising price :)

Finally got some stirrup strips for my jeans to wear them over pants. Giving that a shot.

WoW!  Stewart Weitzman's at a good price...and they look fantastic too.  That blade heel should make them real easy on the ankle.   Color me jealous.

I really hope you enjoy them.

I dream of a world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.

Yeah, they can be very expensive. Well done

I'm really liking those boots James. Can't believe I never saw them when Zu was alive and well! Comfortable?

Hi Kim

Snug, but not overly so, and will stretch been real leather. Really comfy. A little bit to get used to with height, but all good. 30 min walk in Oxford street Paddington where all the swanky shops are this morning. Black not as noticeable as the light gray ones

and price was right !

Regards

i just placed an order with Evans for another pair of peeptoe boots but this time with 4 inch stiletto heels.  i thought i would get adventereous.  i hope they fit as they are the largest size available.  i really love peeptoe boots. when the heel tips wear i will fit some steel tips.
