'Baggy' Canvas Boot

I am a lady who bought the women's version in 1991 from a very high end west coast store chain no longer in business, a semi high-top to the ankle. They cost $30 more than these and are still presentable except the ankle rim is a little frayed. They are very sturdy. I especially use them for outdoor and indoor heavy duty chores and almost always when traveling as the toe is protected and the lug bottom hugs wet surfaces. The fear that I would never be able to replace them one day led me on a search. What a surprise to see the label is still in business and that my favorite store, Nordstrom, has them. Thank goodness I have a 9 1/2 foot so all I had to do was order 2 sizes smaller, the general rule of thumb for converting sizes. This baggy top which allows for long tights to be tucked in is snapped down but they easily unsnap to create a neat high-top to fit under pants. The jet black ones help to make a better "fashion statement" for touring around town in a nice pair of black slacks. Nothing ruins an attempt to look well tailored than a pair of white or multi-color sneakers screaming out on your feet. An added feature is that they are styled more tapered from the arch forward than my older ones which are wider and more chunky looking.

Love the boots. I wore them to work yesterday and everyone complimented me on em. They thought they were just black chucks at first, then realized they were boots and loved em. They're surprisingly comfortable, but run a teeny bit long, so maybe order a half size down if you like your boots snug.

I already had the stone grey pair (really looks like army green) and I liked those a lot. So i purchased the black pair and was even more impressed. Very nice boot, anytime wear, and an eye catcher. And not to mention the online/store pickup was right on time for a last minute shopper like myself before the holiday's.
