Delman boot quality?

alb · Marc Jacobs

I've never worn or tried any of their boots but their shoes in general are really good quality and comfortable too IMO. HTH a little! You should get 'em.

I have a few pairs of Delman - they're really good quality for the money. I think that's a really good price for those boots - and if they're exactly what you're looking for, you should grab them!

Since these are pull-on, stretch leather boots, does anyone know if they'll stretch out TONS with wear? I want to avoid the baggy ankle look, since I get that on every other pair of boots...

I know I want them, but I'd be charging them, and not paying them off for a couple of months. This adds to the rest of my debt (which is pretty low, but still....), PLUS I'm charging about $200 worth of AE stuff this week. I'm thinking I should hold off on the boots until after I buy and pay off my AE stuff....

the thing about bluefly is that they may not be there. if you can, get the boots, and get the AE stuff later....if not, i would just not get the boots since you will have to charge them (probably paying interest) and get some later that you can try on.

I like those, really really cute.

Well, I have the same "fear" with the AE stuff as I do the boots: If I wait too long, my sizes might be gone. I've been waiting for awhile now on the AE stuff (waiting for my coupon dangit), so that's kind of why I want to get that stuff first.

As far as trying on boots later, there is nothing here. Payless and one store downtown are the only actual shoe stores in my town. Plus, you wouldn't believe how difficult it is to find pointy toed shoes in my town; Everything here is an ugly chunky heel and square toe :/. Basically, finding something like this, in my town, is about as possible as winning the lottery (Have I mentioned that I can't WAIT to move out of here??)

I know they'd only be riding the CC for about 2 months, so even though there will be interest, it won't be tons...

I'm torn..

Yeah, I am...Not until Feb. 18th though. At least for now I'll hold off and do my AE plan (buy that stuff and pay it off before buying the boots). My self-control will be tested

I just don't know if I'll be able to find boots that fit great in the calf/ankle area, are affordable, and real leather. My stupid tiny feet always interfere, so it's a constant frustration...
