Cecile

Вот что происходит: мы говорим себе, что это слишком дорого, что можно найти что-то такое же хорошее, чем мы будем довольны, и в этом заключается паттерн мышления, что нужно ждать меньшего и экономить... но на самом деле, если мы отказываемся от вещи, которую действительно любим, мы склонны тратить в два раза больше, пытаясь купить ей эквивалент, чувствуя сожаление, когда не можем найти её снова, и тратя часы на прочесывание интернета в поисках того, от чего отказались. Как сказал Christian Dior: «Не покупайте много, но будьте уверены, что то, что вы покупаете — это хорошо». Этот ботинок стоит своих денег. Он мягкий, удобный, с достаточным пространством в носке, голенище подходит для большой окружности, и он просто идеален прямо из коробки. Обычно я ношу размер 10.5-11. Я купила размер 11 и в полном восторге. Я могу носить как тонкий, так и плотный носок, и ботинки сидят просто великолепно. Цвет — грибной (mushroom). Очень шикарно. Их можно носить в любую погоду. Подошва хорошо спроектирована, чтобы обеспечивать хорошее сцепление в снежных, дождливых, грязных или обледенелых условиях. Я планирую носить их и в более теплую погоду. Так что, если вы сомневаетесь и листаете отзывы в надежде найти тот самый отзыв, который оправдает ваш отказ от этих ботинок, то это не он. Я скажу так: если можете себе позволить — покупайте. Купите одну правильную пару и избавьтесь от идеи поиска более дешевой альтернативы. Жизнь слишком коротка, чтобы соглашаться на меньшее.

I kid you not, I have been eyeing these boots for over a decade. I even ordered them once, and returned them, because I couldn't justify the expense. Then recently, a very sensible review here pushed me to purchase (and keep!) a pair of the Cecile boot in light brown. The reviewer reminded me that I have probably spent gobs more money on a cheaper imitation, rather than on what I really want. Why have 5 things you like "pretty good," rather than that ONE thing you LOVE. You get what you pay for, and that's a fact, Jack! This was a careful and deliberate purchase, and at last, I will get to walk around in these well-made, attractive, classy/classic boots! I plan to wear them this coming Colorado fall, winter, and spring with skirts (short and long), skinny jeans, leggings, dresses... The neutral (light truffle-like) color will go with pretty much any color, bright or muted or dark or patterned. It felt so good to finally unpack these boots, and to give myself the gift of quality and fashion. I have already been going through my closet and consigning or giving away those boots that I "just like." Hello, boots that I love! May you serve me for years, and may I purchase some of your siblings at some point, and make room in my closet for less and better. On a more-detailed note, I usually wear a 9, sometimes an 8.5. I decided to get the 8.5, as I'd like to wear the boots with thinner tights in the winter. If you wear thicker socks, don't size down like I did. I haven't worn the boots for any length of time, but they appear to provide adequate support. I may insert a slender cushioned orthotic, since I walk a lot to and from work. On another note, I would say that these boots are sturdy, rather than sleek. That is, they have a thickness to them, not a slender look. But they do not gape at the calves (I have "normal-size" calves, neither slender nor large). I like the look of my legs in the boots. The suede is substantial and beautiful-looking. The heels are blocky, with tread on the sole. True: the zipper is at the outside of the boot. But in fact, I think that will be good for me, and will avoid the problem of zippers rubbing together while walking. I can't wait until it gets cool enough to wear these boots!

These are beautiful, but for over $500.00, they should be perfect. The hem at the top of one boot was misaligned, so it’s lifting up/coming undone. Unfortunately I didn’t notice until after I had worn them, otherwise, I would have returned them. For this price point, I expected better craftsmanship.

This is my 3rd pair of La Canadienne. Yes, they are pricey, but worth every penny. My first two pair I bought in 2009, I am just now replacing them. Year over year, they actually cost less than buying a new pair every two years or so. They are absolutely beautiful and comfortable!

These boots are high quality and very well made. I got the tan color which is very cute, size 9.5. However the left boot's insole has a bump that make it very uneven and uncomfortable to walk. You can feel it with every step you take, very annoying. No adjustment can be made and they are not removable. Too bad, because I really like these boots. At this price point, the boots have to be flawless. They are going back.

I have skinny calves. I want less width for that much money b

Very comfortable, beautiful materials. I don’t love the line around the top but I’m keeping them because it’s so hard to find well made & timeless boots that are wide enough for my feet

I love these boots! They're really comfortable and look great. Not at all dressy, but they elevate a casual look. Planning to wear these a lot this winter. Pricy, but I love the brand and I know they'll wear well and hold up to the elements.

I love these boots but I returned them because I didn’t care for the way the looked on. The zipper on the outside of the leg instead of the inside was not optimal. If I’m going to spend $565 on boots they need to be exactly what I want.

I have a pair of La Canadienne boots and love them. These, not so much. Not the same quality. Arch support is not there for me. I don't like the zipper on the outside of the boot
