Rounded Toes Return

[dr1819]

I am REALLY digging this boot:

Round toe, stacked leather heel - very 70's.

I'm wondering if they'll replenish their stock of larger sizes in black, as they appear to be out of everything in black larger than 10.

I love this boot, too, as I would love to wear this around town throughout this winter! It looks very nice, is quite unobtrusive under a pair of jeans, and I'm sure it would be quite comfortable for longer excursions:

I manged to finance these a little while back.

DR1819:

If they got those boots in a size 12 buy a pair of brown and dye it black, it's not hard.

Hoverfly, I just bought the same 2 pairs. When I saw the pictures I thought someone had gotten into my computer.

I'd kill for either one, hoverfly! The one on the left looks like the "clog boot" I saw advertised on the Internet. Don't remember where. Sadly, I'm now wearing a 13. I used to be able to squeeze into size 11s in the 80s (mainly sandals), and wore 12s when I first began heeling in 2001. But lately, 12s are usually uncomfortably tight while 13s are usually a bit too loose (unless worn with thick socks)! If it's leather, I can sometimes buy 12s and get away with breaking them in, particularly if they have longer toes. But a true, round-toed shoe is a bit too short these days - my toes will touch the front, which isn't comfortable. Strangely, the last two pair of boots I bought were both 12s. One was a 12W, and is very comfortable with a pair of socks. The other is a 12M, which is snug, even with nothing more than thin hosiery. However, they're leather, and will eventually break in.

I love that first pair of boots! I can't help thinking that those in a dark shade of brown would look wonderful!

The one on the right with right boot I had to stretch a bump for my big toe, but maybe I could have gotten a wide instead but I got it to work out. I could use a 12.5 for the right foot. But loosing some weight might help out to prevent further foot spread, it's hard enough to get 12 let alone a 13. Macy's caries the actual version, leather upper but just as comfy do to the heavy lining. But only went up to a size 10.

These both caught my eye and may well make it into my collection. both from the current NEXT catalogue and come upto 43W for the knee boots and regular 43 for the ankle boots. NEXT boots tend to be generous whereas their shoes tend to be narrow. If I decide to order either or both of them (almost certain), as it is unusual to find the size 9/43 in the shop, I'll do a fit report on them.

Here are the boots in question.

These are IMHO great heels for men as they do not have too great a feminine overtone to the look. Whilst I wear these boots in the picture below to work, and they have a 3/4" D shaped heel, they are probably a bit too thin and really cross the border. Nice to wear though.

TB2

I bought the Next ankle boots only come in brown and didn't like them that much so took them back. Then bought the Nine West ones, first phot in black they are geneorous in size have a 9W which i think is Uk 7 and normally take an UK8 they are really comfy dead easy to walk in 3 1/2" a bit noisy as have hard plastic heel tip, but that easuilly sorted. Great buy would highly recoment them to anyone

Sorry for going slightly off-topic, but are the Next wide-fitting boots wider in the calf as well as the foot? Chris

bootluvr, you need to remove the comma from the url.

BTW, just saw these.

Very masculine looking boot IMO. Guys could easily wear these without any problems (not that other shoes always cause problems!). I'd be quite tempted by these.

[bootluvr]

WWW.PAYLESS.COM sorry about that.

The good news is that Zappos and Nordstroms are full of high heeled boots in sizes to 13.

Happy shopping!

great boot. I much prefer round toes simply becuase I have large feet and often find that round toes allow me to buy one size lower than lots of pointed toes and this opens up the possibilites hugely.

I have a few pairs of knee boots with round toes. Of course I also have other boots with semi-pointed, snipped, and pointed toes and they are also very comfy. Nice boots, guys! Thanks for sharing. Cheers--- Dawn HH

Whow! Exactly what i am looking for....but unfortunately the shipping would be more expensive than the shoe for me btw.: Hi, i'm the new one
