When I first bought my boots, I had the entire staff at Saks (no joke) working to get that zipper up. It took a pair of Spanx trouser socks (they suck your calves in just like their bodyshapers suck your body in), one gentleman on the zipper, one woman holding the zipper track as close together as possible, and another woman literally pushing my calf muscle as far in as her petite hands could muster. I actually had bruising from the experience. <BR/><BR/>But eventually, the more I walked around in them in my apartment, the more the leather stretched out and molded to my legs. Now, I simply zip 'em up. Granted, my calves have shrunk a bit, but still, don't discount a pair of dream boots simply because they seem too tight in the beginning. Practice, practice, practice.<BR/><BR/>Just like heels :-)<BR/><BR/>best,<BR/>JJohannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711853969686993763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510730519686659039.post-24954691548061057642007-11-12T16:48:00.000-05:002007-11-12T16:48:00.000-05:00You are a runner, and have runners calves - do you...You are a runner, and have runners calves - do you ever have a problem fitting your calves into tall boots? My calves are muscular from the elliptical/running and I have problems fitting them in sometimes - so frustrating when there are such pretty boots out there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510730519686659039.post-17984321142396289022007-11-12T14:19:00.000-05:002007-11-12T14:19:00.000-05:00Gray is the new black.

My boots are a tight-lipped secret. I'll probably wear them to the 11/29 event, though...so you can see them there if you're really inclined :-)<BR/><BR/>aja-<BR/><BR/>I think you could a lot with the grey suede boots, everything from wearing them over jeans like you suggested to pairing them with sweater dresses and tweed minis. If I hadn't spent so much on my black pair, I'd totes be investing in grey suede. Get them!<BR/><BR/>etcetera-<BR/><BR/>I have no problem with high-quality *looking* synthetic boots. With large calves, I know the difficulty in buying a no-give zip-up pair.<BR/><BR/>best,<BR/>JJohannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711853969686993763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510730519686659039.post-64114311330068893852007-11-12T10:07:00.000-05:002007-11-12T10:07:00.000-05:00so does this mean it's ok to buy synthetic?so does this mean it's ok to buy synthetic?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510730519686659039.post-20816584015172192322007-11-12T09:30:00.000-05:002007-11-12T09:30:00.000-05:00From personal experience, the Max Studio boots are...From personal experience, the Max Studio boots are to die for!Everyone must buy a pair!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510730519686659039.post-12367410370913484042007-11-12T09:21:00.000-05:002007-11-12T09:21:00.000-05:00ooh i've been eyeing grey suede boots and the dolc...ooh i've been eyeing grey suede boots and the dolca vitas look just right, and affordable! what would one wear with them? a black dress and black tights? over blue jeans? do you think they're too impractical?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510730519686659039.post-59451036008026796712007-11-12T09:19:00.000-05:002007-11-12T09:19:00.000-05:00The max studio boots are so elegant.

Two questions: why must you taunt me by putting the price of the first, lovely, pair in pounds, so I get this close to pulling out my credit card before realising I have to multiply 160 by 2?! Second, what boots will you be rocking this season - are we allowed to see?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
