Who has bought some new BOOTS?

Arrived today and they're too small. Just about managed to zip them up but horribly uncomfortable over the instep. So they're going back.

It's possible that UK10 or wide fitting would help so I may order again.

I think you will find the 10 standard or wide a good fit if you are normally a 9; if a little loose, thicker socks will help.   (I wish I only had that fitting problem!)

I've just checked, and Elexis and Espresso (soft suede) are in stock in  both 10 and 10 wide.   If you place a new order (rather than exchange), you should get the lower price on Elexis.   Good luck!

My returns (sent last Thursday) were received and immediately credited  by ASOS today.

[at9 115]

Took the return to my local Collect+ store last night. Much more convenient than the Post Office.

I might try the 10 wide. Part of the problem is that the bit that was really tight was at a seam over the instep. Exactly where there will be least stretch in the leather.

Just got the 10 wide and they aren't comfortable either. They just aren't the right shape for my feet. Shame, because I quite liked the style.

That is unfortunate, and I'm surprised that they didn't fit you comfortably.   The Espresso (soft black suede) is possibly more forgiving and lacks the awkward rear zip.

For others interested, today's prices (most discounted) on the boots are:   Espresso £35.00 (Wide fit £50.00); Elexis £33.00 (Wide fit £38.50), with all sizes up to 10UK shown as in stock.   I do wonder if the bigger discount on the standard fit reflects on them being a poorer fit, with fewer sales.   

Various other nice-looking ASOS footwear (in sizes up to 10) discounted too, including some 5" 'Tulita' wedges at £10.50.

I had you in mind when I mentioned them, Jeremy!   Let us know if you get them.

These are very nice too; my favourite sandal style - every woman should have them:   https://www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-hands-down-extra-wide-fit-barely-there-heeled-sandals/prd/9177568?clr=black&SearchQuery=hands+down+extra+wide&SearchRedirect=true   (I did try a pair in UK10; the heel is  4.5". )  Same or similar sandals available in other colours and fits too.

Yes, I saw them too - I like them a lot, a very simple but sexy sandal. The only thing that put me off was the shape of the heel - too straight and not enough of a stiletto curve!

Hi everyone, my first post on here. I just made a welcome thread too for more info, but here are the booties I recently bought from Call It Spring.
Suede front, everything else stretches which is nice, since my feet are kind of fat now.. I love how point they make my toes look.

4.5 inch heel, no platform, size 10US for those curious.

I've worn 7-8 inch heels in the past, but none with this arch. And I don't think I can ever go back to anything less than a 4 inch arch now.
I definitely like them over leggings or under tight jeans, I love the look.

Please enjoy!

Picked these up the other day. Not usually into single sole boots but I like the gold accents and tassles on the zippers. They fit amazing and are about a 3.5" heels which is relatively shorter than I normally gravitate too.

Nice, I really like these!  The elastic top ensures a clean line regardless of the pants configuration.  Looking good - hope they are becoming as comfortable to wear as they look!

hahaha I can only definitely walk in there for 20-30 mins before it gets sore, but then again, I've never worn an arch this high and my weight too.

Hopefully in time, it will be much more longer.

Heels and fashion are great weight lose motivators.

While not a huge fan of lace up boots, I like the general shape and heel on these.  Look like they'd be fun to wear!

Well done. Perfect sock booties, the heel looks fantastic. Pointed toe makes the shape of the feet better, or sexier for lack of a better term. My higher heel booties are oval toe, round. Find a pointed toe really is striking to look upon. Such as my asos chelsea tan suede pointed toe for example. 

 

Only problem i find with them is the toe box gets scuffed, discoloured difficult to impossible to clean. Yet tan goes very well with light coloured to medium wash blue denim  skinny jeans. Like you shown covered cigarette leg skinny jeans often make my bootie's look better then displaying the entire shaft. Only difference your sock like bootie is fitted to your ankle makes it look much better than the gap i show here. Usually i see woman roll up there skinny jeans so show off some  skin or wear very short cropped skinny jeans. My only problem i own and wear the trendy  staggered, distressed hem skinny jeans which is difficult to roll up. 

Definitely looked upon purchasing similar sock booties but never could have the nerve to pull the trigger. Sometimes lack of sizing was the con in wanting to purchase such great heels.

haha Well if you are ever interested.

(They got them in black too)

And yea they look nice when the jean is rolled up, but these ones don't have a high shaft, so I don't mind tucking them into the jeans.

Your sure there genuine suede outer materials? The website descriptions seem to stare syntheti materials. Sometime descriptions state leather but often is faux leather synthetic suede. Picture you shown looks like real suede.

Nice try, Lol.... In my opinion long hem roll ups don't look as nice as smaller cuff hem jeans. You need to buy  shorter inseam skinny crop jeans, couple rolls and your shins are showing your done. 

Yet those particular boots you should leave the jeans tucked seeing the fit snug to your leg. Or wearing cigarette leg cut jeans wear them over top. Rolling your hem would bring them up to high on your leg or calves better to roll pant leg cuffs with shorter bootie shaft.

No need to roll up any further, that’s perfect as they are, really nice boots and a great look mate 

[MackyHeels 352]

My recent purchase these  booties,  something less noteworthy  on this forum. 

Chelsea Rag & Bone Westin Boot more ankle length then actual boot.

Yes i know no substantial heel, (1.1/4 inches at best) feeling uneasy and depressed about the purchase. Only because  it has no distinct heel like the others shown below i wanted in same colour tan suede as i settled for the Westin boot instead.

Funny that these are woman booties yet could easily bought men's in similar style. Doubt i would get the pointed toe or heel metal shank with brand logo stamped. Guess it's style to make it more feminine, differentiate it from certain style male boots. Have similar style in female moto chelsea boot in black leather rarely or never wear it only because lack of high heel. 

 

 

 

 

 

in truth wanted to purchase these below instead. Makes me feel happier with some kind of heel.

Nice boots!  It’s funny how designers for urban booties incorporate elements from cowboy boots to make them look more feminine, of all things.  The snip toe and metal heel cap are classy style elements of cowboy boots that men wear.  The heel cap was originally designed to protect the boots from excessive wear of spurs sitting on the heel counter.  Just goes to show that if men lose appreciation for nice things, they will lose them as fashion options.
