^^ That's actually quite a clever closure. Do you have a formal training in footwear design and/or leathercraft?

Originally posted by riderhere's a dilemma, if i had to choose between these 3 boots this season, the goal being that i would like to limit my purchase to 1, which should be "the One"? I'm aware this is a personal decision but i'd thought i would throw it out there to see what women on this board, who most likely own at least 1 or all 3 perhaps have to say.
1. Ann Demeulemeester's reissue combat boot (on Saks)
2. Rick Owens wedge with the gills on top (runway)
3. Guidi high heel mid calf (stealth til i can score them)
the temptation is great for all 3, but i'm starting to be more aware of my mortality [in fashion: the feeling of why do i need all this stuff], and realize i dont need so many shoes that they will outlive me. so... the plan this season is of a more frugal nature, to purchase only the one that i will wear the most, the boot that brings it all together and trips my mood fantastic.
perhaps, a senseless post but i guess its a good day when your biggest worry at 9am on a monday is what boot to buy...you never know what the rest of the day will bring.

I'd wear those f♥ckers with a floor-length evening gown, lol. talk about worship..
Oh! ..and regarding your "Dorothy moment" with those red PH's – I gasped when I saw 'em in your post, hahaa. I have them in a greenish-grey color – but had those sanguine beauties been an option, I'da literally "spent the rent on red shoes", as the saying goes. ;)

does anyone know what the fit is like on these http://www-us.farfetch.com/shopping/...m10096836.aspx true to size or large?

⬆ Ann's footwear, just like her clothes, generally (and deliberately) runs large. But given the narrow toe box on these, however, I'd honestly suggest keeping to your actual size instead of ordering smaller – and if there happens to be a little wiggle room, adding a thin pair of $5 foam insoles (like the ones from Dr. Scholl's), remedies the issue easily. It's usually her riding boots (or any style with a rounded toe) where sizing down becomes necessary for many people.
That's the best advice I can offer, without having personally tried this particular style on.. yet. ;)
Great boot, btw. Love it..

The back-lace version was my favorite, but unfortunately I missed out on them (they were deeply discounted at Mona Moore but I waited too long)
The ones I ordered are just the basic tall version but in suede- it seemed like there were so many variations! I really wasn't a fan of them until I saw them in person. I also preferred the black-stitching variations to the contrasting white/tan stitching around the toe...
This season I'm lusting after these:
I thought I would like the front-lace versions better, but I actually prefer the cleaner front with the lacing in the back.
