Kimmer, as far as the 1st pair of boots, I'd personally go w/ the higher heel. But I think I'm a little bit shorter than you, so I think you'd be fine w/ the shorter heel.

As far as the 2nd pair of boots, I'll have to vote no on those. It's too furry.

Agreed.

I have tried to stay out of this thread because I have enough trouble reading about the rest of your finds in the products threads, and it just costs me more $$$$.

I have been good last year and cut down on my shoe & boot purchases. I only bought 2 pairs of boots and maybe 3 pairs of shoes.

Kimmer,

I bought a pair of boots almost exactly like the Montana's, but they aren't as nice as your Gucci's. I love classic riding type boots because I am 5'7 and don't really like higher heels.

I like your Apres Ski Boots too.

Fryl,

I have quite a few pairs of franco sarto shoes and I like the styling in most of them. I have a few pair of loafers that I hope never wear out.

One style of shoes that I really like too are Ecco's.

Olfactory girl, I have a pair of Docs that I don't wear anymore, but I just can't part with them.

Well, I hope all of you are happy. I see a visit to a shoe department in my future.

Noelle, I really like Franco Sarto shoes, they're affordable and most importantly they're well-made and very comfortable.

I have a hard time parting with shoes as well, but I recently got rid of a few pairs.
They were literally falling apart, and it was time for them to go.
I do have a pair of Converse One Star that need to go however, but I can not throw them away. I've had them for 13 years.

Here's a link to the boots I ordered:
Michael Kors Boots

They're not the most attractive but they were the best I could find and I am tired of having cold feet.
The snow is melting now, and yesterday for the first time in over 10 days it's been above the freezing point so perhaps I am a little late in ordering them but I'll still get use out of them.

Doh !!! Yet one more post I never received notification to and managed to skip over...sorrrry .
Noelle, I am sure your boots are absolutely gorgeous, and I agree with you 100% in that classic riding boots are exactly that...classic. I love the look . At 5"6, although I am alright with heels, I too am not keen on having them too high. I wouldn't mind the extra height , but to me it just wouldn't be comfortable.

As for the Asperi Boots - Thank you sweetie .

Kimmer I love the Montanas! I'm looking for a good pair of riding boots also to wear with skirts, not too expensive though.

Thank you Anemone ! I notice quite a few have been managing to find all sorts of beautiful classic riding boots . I am sure you'll come across a pair you like and wish to purchase .

I don't think the Nine West wedges are meant for me.
I bought a size 8 from the Nine West website and they were too tight so I return them to the store. While I was in the store I tried the 8.5, and it seemed like a perfect fit. They didn't have the black patent ones so I reordered it in size 8.5 from the website.
I received them the day before yesterday, and tried to walk in them a few minutes ago and they seem too big now!!
They're so comfortable but my feet keep slipping out of them. I'll try them again with heel grips, if that doesn't work I'll return them to the store again.
Mini rant over.

Frustrating! Definitely try the heel grips!

I returned the Nine West wedges yesterday. I was a little broken up after bringing them back but a trip to Nordstrom Rack fixed that.

I can't begin to say how much I'm liking ballet flats!
They look so nice without adding height, and are so comfortable. I just bought this pair - they are black satin:

And the 3 below are on my Christmas wishlist, so hopefully Santa will oblige me with another pair:

Anemone, I the first blue pair on your wishlist!

I LOVE MEERKATS!

Yesterday I purchased my very first pair of Clarks Wallabees. Definitely not the prettiest shoe ever made but I've been looking at them for about a year now and finally decided to take the plunge. I think they will be great for winter and they are actually cute with jeans.
