ll bean apparently sells a very similar style for a good deal less than the red wings -- i've heard good things about red wings' durability but have never owned a pair. is the construction that good? like $100+ extra good?
― elmo leonard (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 31 December 2009 18:44 (fourteen years ago) link
i could go for a pair of white's semi-dress boots but I would never be able to justify buying another pair of boots ever again.

Just got my income tax rebate, no longer broke, finally able to get a pair of shoes that are not my runners, my dress shoes or my dying (let's be honest, dead) pair of chuck taylors.
Of course, I do not know shoes. Time to read this thread start to finish.

I do like the idea of a spat revival, though, j. Very much so.

pointy toes don't work so well for me. i wish i could just buy another pair of the 3cco biker boots i had a couple of years, but they make an updated version - of which i have a pair now - that aren't nearly as nice.
i LOVE spats. and legwarmers. they are basically a girl's bestfriend if she has fat ankles she doesn't want to show off (e.g. me).
those spats are on etsy, and they're REVERSIBLE!! http://www.etsy.com/listing/58280118/little-red-riding-spats-reversible
think i might get a pair.
― just1n3, Friday, 8 October 2010 21:07 (fourteen years ago) link

― just1n3, Friday, 8 October 2010 21:12 (fourteen years ago) link
My first impulse re the etsy spats, is that I would prefer them to have a strip of elastic under the shoe, right under your arch, because if they shifted just a little bit, that COOOOOOOLD winter breeze is going to right up your ankle. Better keep 'em in place from the start!
If you want biker boots, get the original Fryes, is my recommendation.
― I've got ten bucks. SURPRISE ME. (Laurel), Friday, 8 October 2010 21:20 (fourteen years ago) link
since she's an etsy seller, you could probably ask her to add some kind of stirrup? i want them in a deep olive green velvet/corduroy.
