Re: TSV - What is it with the toe of this boot?

Maybe they should make the color names:

""Sort of Gray Brown""

""Almost Purple Navy""

""Shade of Wine Merlot""

""Almond nut colored Taupe""

Re: TSV - What is it with the toe of this boot?

The "... turned up toe...." is what really gets my attention. The color grey is calling my name, but as of 3 hours ago, available only on waitlist; as of now at 1:13 p.m. PST, it is sold out, not even available on waitlist.

Re: TSV - What is it with the toe of this boot?

I thought I was the only one on earth who just hates the toes pointing up like Elf shoes!! Not only does it look silly IMHO (when they are really going up) but they force my toes to bend upward and it gets tiring and hurts (for me).... and everyone is styling shoes like this now...

Now that I've said that, I have to also say that last year I bought two pairs of Earth Origin boots that look similar to today's TSV with slight Elf toes. They are fantastic, fit my 9M's perfectly, I wore both of them all winter (one black, one brown) and just bought today's TSV in the blue. I expect the blue pair to fit and feel just as good.

So yes, my toes will be pointing slightly upward, but these boots from Earth Origin really are comfortable and cute for the money.... {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

The leather in the picture on the gray pair definitely looks brown as does the leather on the navy pair. The other colors are matching leather and suede.

I really dislike the turned up toe. I think that is what is least appealing to me about these.

ROFL... I didn't catch the 'almost Purple Navy'.... I don't want Purple-y Navy... I want a true Navy Blue...

Good Grief...

Re: TSV - What is it with the toe of this boot?

I just watched the presentation and the navy suede looks navy on my TV and the smooth leather looks purple!! Who knows what color they are Smiley Wink The gray is sold out so they aren't showing it.

The presenters really should get into more descriptions on the items they are selling instead of trying to tell us how we can wear them. Geez, I can figure out how to wear them but I can't tell the actual color from the pictures, the presentation, or the descriptions!

I ordered these today in the brown. The toe doesn't seem to bother me, at least in the pictures. I haven't watched any presentations though. I have to admit that the toe up a little appeals to the klutz in me. I've tripped over my own toe before {#emotions_dlg.huh} Uhh, maybe I shouldn't admit to that on a public board??? Maybe these will help us klutzes?

I also plan to wear these with bootcut jeans, not skirts or leggings. Maybe they will look like elf shoes? I'll be a very comfortable elf I hope Smiley Wink

Hey, I agree about the color. I might have considered multiple pairs if the navy and gray colors were all navy and all gray. I'm not interested in black or merlot.

{#emotions_dlg.thumbup1} So identify with your klutz comment--"another tripped over my own toe gal"here...it gave me a giggle..so what the heck...however, cannot get into the boots just now...105 + with the heat index here..

Re: TSV - What is it with the toe of this boot?

For those wondering about the color of the gray and the navy, this is part of my Post #19: The rep also said that the navy was coming across as purplish leather, but that the leather was definitely blue.

That's what she said while holding the navy boot - but if they're not what she said, it's not my fault!{#emotions_dlg.laugh}{#emotions_dlg.w00t}{#emotions_dlg.laugh}

Gray is sold out, but they said the leather was a taupey/mushroom color.
