Opinion of these boots?

So I'm on the quest for the perfect pair of flat riding boots that are cognac colored. I have ginormous man-calves so it can be difficult. I do love Carolyn's boots but it seems she isn't giving up where she got them! :-P I came across these but since they are pricey I need more opinions:

The circumference listed is perfect and it has a built in stretchy thingy to allow for expansion.  What do you think?

Re: Opinion of these boots?

  • They look great!  And all the reviews were excellent.  and the price... well you pay for what you get.  If you want a good pair of boots to last, ther price seems reasonable to me.

  • I think they are really cute! I don't know that I could spend that much, but I get tired of shoes that are "noticeable". Hope that makes sense.

  • Really cute....I have been wanting flat boots but the nice ones aren't in the budget, and I don't think it's worth getting a cheap pair that won't last or be comfy....

  • They are very cute.  But me personally, I would NEVER pay any where close to that. Stupid question, but when you say riding boots, will you be riding a horse with them?

  • Wait I'm here. Well out of town and not checking the nest today. My boots are nine west. Wait. When I get home I will find the info and hook you up!!!
  • I like them!  I have the opposite problem as you.  I have skinny legs and my calves usually swim in boots.

    Me too. I have scrawny chicken legs and finding boots is really difficult!

    As for the boots, they are cute! I really want some adorable flat boots myself, but so far no luck.

    No, I already have a pair of Ariat boots for riding horses. I just meant that I wanted a flat smooth sole, not a chunky one.

    Yay!! I haven't ordered the Eccos yet, mostly because they are sold out in my size everywhere!! Maybe I'll have better luck with the nine wests!

  • Me too!  I will never wear my boots over my jeans cause it looks silly on me.  The other day my friend was trying to talk me into it and made me try it on for her.  She laughed so hard when she saw how big the boots looked on my calves.
