Agreed, they're stunning boots! I guess I was thinking that they're basically the same style as Cleane boots from 2011 and Blacksons from last year (I have both) but they're quite a bit more expensive (for me at least) because of the pony hair etc. And I was hoping that I could talk myself into living without them but instead I've promised to resist next time ;)
Have yours arrived yet?
I haven't seen the grey/white in real life and I can't quite make them out on screen. I'm sure they're gorgeous too but the all black is understated and classic with an edge :)

No, my black ones haven't come into the store yet. Certainly by September, I was told. I'm glad because I've been spending far too much money lately! I didn't like the grey ones at all when I saw them online because I thought they looked too wacky for my style but when I saw them in real life and tried them, it was a different story. I do agree that the black are more classic and they will be more versatile. I was told there will also be a khaki version. I think they're quite different to the Blacksons as the Blackons have a more cowboy/western feel. Are you going to keep yours?

Yes I decided to keep the Tacy boots. I have a super low pain threshold when it comes to returning pretty things. I'm better off not buying them in the first place :)
Intrigued by the grey version, mainly because of the white pony hair. I hope someone takes a pic so I can see what they actually look like.

Are the Tacy boots easy to walk on? How high is the heel? NAP says 10cm, but they don't look as high. Modelling pics please:graucho: ?
I seriously love these boots, esp the gray with black and white version. I have a million plain black ankle boots and cannot justify getting more, but these add something to my wardrobe with the different colours (though still monochrome), the pointy toe and stiletto heel.

Has anyone actually worn them out? Could one survive a day at work in them? My concern is that I have short muscular legs and I don't know whether they'll come up to the bulgiest part of my calf and make me look like the Michelin man.

Anyone else notice Matches put their prices up! Before the dickers were $495aud and now it's over $600aud! :wtf::pout::mad:

Yeah. I noticed. I bought my Bekett from them before. I actually write them an email to protest their price adjustment. I guess too many customers from Australia buy from them now.
Anyway, have to find another store. Sucks Matches.

I got to try on the Cleave (the knee high boot with hidden wedge) yesterday. I have to say, I passed. They hit my leg at a sort of awkward place - right under the knee (I'm 5'6" with fairly long legs). Also, the leather isn't that great, as someone here mentioned. It's distressed to the point where the texture isn't smooth and feels sort of thin. I was so excited because they were selling for $860 CAD,which is a full $100 less than the price on all the US websites.

They're not uncomfortable but I wouldn't wear them all day if my job entailed running around or doing a lot of walking or standing, but that's just me. They do have a 10cm spiky heel and pointed toe so probably not an ideal combination for workwear :)

Question to the IM experts...
I'm new to this brand and love the look of the Jenny boot. But I hesitate because I worry it won't be flattering with my legs. I don't have toothpicks.( Just athletic legs, I ride bikes.) The photos of celebs I've seen look awesome of course but they have toothpicks. ;) Anyone have a recommendation about whether I should try them or pass? I'd just buy some to try and return but I can't find them anywhere but eBay now with no return policies. Thank so much in advance for the help.

I would go for the Crisi boot (I think that is the name). It looks much like the Jenny but has a hidden wedge so it's more flattering on the leg. I have athletic legs and I own both the Jenny and the Caleen (studded boot with hidden wedge) and I always find myself wishing the Jenny had wedges too.
