Should I go for it?

honey · Gucci

have you checked shopbop? they have them for 1/2 price.

Well, if you really want them and they are marked down under $100 then it would be worth it. I think they may be a little dated next year. Year before last was the year of the UGG, this past year was the Western and those shearling wedges. I myself would pass.

Thanks honey. The other day shopbop only had sage and white on sale, but I want whiskey.

Anyone else?

If you really love them and they are "you" and you will wear them for many winters to come, I would get them.

If not, I would pass. I agree with Cortney that they may not be as "hot" next winter, and there are so many knockoffs that if you just want them for the rest of this winter, I would buy a $30 knockoff pair on sale.

i have them (this is season two for them) and i them. i love wearing them with my LV and Kooba in Luggage....so i think they'll be super hot with your new speedy! i thought that they were a lot, but i get sooooo much wear out of them. i love that they have a heel (i HATE flats) and i think the whiskey color is the best. last year i babied them so much, this year i didn't as much, and they have held up really well, only TINY water stains with no pre treatment.

last year they were TOTALLY sold out when i got them. recently though, i've seen them on sale. if you're a size 9.5 or 10, there's a couple places that have them on sale. right now, i wouldn't pay full price for them, but that's not saying i don't think you shouldn't get them. i would just look on ebay because i know i have seen them a million place on sale, and they have been all over ebay.

they are such a staple in my closet, that i think you should go for them.

Just a heads up, my friend ordered them from shopbop and ended up returning them because they were bulkier than they looked, so if thats what you like them go for it.

bumblebee · Coach

i think they're really cute and won't look "so 05" next winter. if they are really your style and you love them, i think you should get them.

twinkle · Coach

i got them on ebay for about $150. i love them!

gypsyfreak · Coach

I think you should get them too, especially if they reflect you're style. Personally, I don't think they'll look dated.

Ok, maybe I am just biased against these types of shoes. When I see this type of boot I think it looks best in frigid, snowy type weather -you know, that snow bunny Aspen look. However, I can't see how they could be worn in inclement weather. I think they would end up looking horribly dirty very quickly. If I owned them they would be dictated to perfect, sunny days with no rain or slush so I didn't mess them up. That seems to defeat the purpose of boots like this; they should be able to hold up in bad weather. Even if they made it to next year I think they would end up dirty looking (unless you were very careful) so style wouldn't be your concern anymore. I don't know, it's just when I do see this type of boot dirty I think they look really awful. Just my 2 cents...
