My Wife and Iare. not too sure about my most recent purchase. We are thinking the pointed toe might be a bit too pointy. Not sure if to return them and keep looking for a similar style and height with an almond toe?

If it helps i love that toe shape, doesn’t hurt to have a bit of variety, don’t want a dozen pairs of boots all looking the same

Definitely like them but no good for me I wouldn't be able walk in a heel that height. Like the shape and the heel but I would certainly need to have a lower heel.

I know what you mean variety is a good thing but I'm just not sure I would wear my most recent boots  with that toe shape. The heel height is good but I'm just wondering if getting something with a similar heel but less pointed I might get much more use out of them

Nothing wrong with that pointed toe.   If you can go out confidently in a stiletto heel, you can cope with that toe too; the overall look is balanced and sleek.

I agree with the others - unless cost is an issue - keep them and enjoy!

I might go out shopping later so I won't change into the skirt tonight, but I'm planning to give this a try for breakfast downstairs tomorrow morning.  

Keep us posted and pictured!

I bought these a couple of months ago from ebay for $70 but just started wearing them with the cooler weather.  They are Sam Edelman "Rylan" from a couple of years ago.  Brand new.  The color is dark red but photos seem to drift to brown due to color balance issues.  They have a 21" shaft and 4" heel with a partial inside zipper.  They are a soft leather upper and shaft with a small slit in the back of the tops.  These fit fairly snug over the calves and a good fit in a size 10.5.  I usually get 10's in Sam Edelman but this style seems a bit snug so the half size up seems to be perfect.

I really love the look of these too! Am sure they are very comfy. They look great with the jeans too. Enjoy!!!

A couple of photos of the new heels , I think they would look better with black jeans rather than demin so I think that's what I will pair with them.

These look really good. I prefer a taller heel, but this (kitten style) is really cute too, as it comes down to a really small stiletto style heel.

with the same type of toe and heel. Wear them in public, and I bet you will get plenty of interest and complements.   spikesmike

blueparrot,

That is an amazing colour commonly marketed as cognac. I have on a pair of wedge sandals in the same colour right now. I have a few wedges in this colour and one handbag. Very nice looking on you.

Pierre1961,

I like the height of your boots but I don't own any single sole shoes at all. You have the "joie du talon". HinH

Thank you @spikesmike

I don't feel at ease enough for wearing these Oxford outside. The heel is 17 cm They are perfect for house work,even all day long. But for walking on different surfaces I can't handle more than 14,5 and preferably block heels. That's my limit. Always with no platform. 

Thanks again. 

Pierre

I got these Ralph Lauren ankle boots with a 70mm block heel, although they do have a tapered look when viewed from the back. Zips either side make getting them on and off very easy. A nice detail is the badge under the arch of the sole. The almond toe is a feature I like as well.BD0020EC-64A1-4EB9-9C51-8F746C88A885.thumb.jpeg.15b352104098dbae24eb8cc78e170f12.jpegBF9D9823-28AA-4B53-9D76-43070A3A9F22.thumb.jpeg.79b6ecf68578683bee62f76bec8049d4.jpegF8F3F7F3-36DF-4378-B06C-B2A599B952C4.thumb.jpeg.f4100aefe295175260ab472d25a93b22.jpeg6467F242-B653-4C81-A094-A57DE520FE96.thumb.jpeg.2df6c238755c3a577aeeeed227224f7d.jpeg

 

They look great! Did you enlist the wife to take pics?

Enjoy them!!

HeeledSteve's boots look great - but surely that heel is higher than 70mm?   

I have very recently bought two pairs of rather similar boots from ASOS - but alas I have had to return them as they do not fit.   In both cases, they are size 10UK wide fit (the largest size available) but are just too small for my size 11UK (Eu45) feet. :cry:

The first pair is 'Espresso' - black suede (leather), side zip, 3.5" Cuban heel.   I could just get these on and zip them up but they are too tight everywhere and I am doubtful about stretching them:

thumbnail_IMG_20181204_115103.jpg.b6126087fd1585a4d7405cdd049ca7eb.jpg

The second pair is 'Elexis' - black leather, rear zip, 3.5" Cuban heel.   The toebox felt fine but I could not even do up the rear zip - an impossible task!

thumbnail_IMG_20181206_122903.jpg.bc102e4974378903fa4a015626e6b14d.jpg

Sorry about the picture quality; best I could do.   Despite my disappointment, I recommend these boots to anyone with a 10UK medium-width foot, or smaller.   They seem well-made, of solid construction, with leather uppers and a sturdy Cuban heel that would be very acceptable for public outings even if exposed.   I just wish I could get something very similar in a larger size!   They do seem to be in variable supply from ASOS (going in and out of stock), so anyone interested should order quickly!   ASOS has other styles in sizes up to 10UK also (some in wide width), but again supply may be erratic.

I use ASOS as well, 10uk wide fits well for me. Evans 9ee(e) are similar as can be new looks eu43 sizes. But many of my items are Diechmann.

I did try to attach some pics but got an upload error (200?)

They look great mate, they look slightly higher heeled than 700mm, but a nice shape heel, they’re not dissimilar to my long next boots but an ankle version, think you’ll have a lot of fun in those mate

Yes I know what you mean looking at the photo they look higher than 70mm, might have to do a remeasure. As the old adage goes "measure twice cut once"

Same here. ASOS sales are sometimes great. And their own brand sizes seem to be getting bigger lately, but some of their other brands are still stuck at 8uk maximum.
