Ash Spirals

If you have Ash Spirals, can you please tell me ...

  1. Is the toe very narrow, and
  2. If you wear them with skinny jeans, are your socks visible? If so, does that bother you?

Was going to try Hidson Mirar but a poster on another thread mentioned that they're very tight with regards to getting your foot on.

Thanks

Hi, I have Ash Spirals, the toe is almond shaped so not too narrow at all. I chose them over the Jalouse as they were a tad pointy and I need my feet to be comfortable.
As for the socks being visible, only if your skinnies are cropped. I'm quite happy to wear mine with cropped skinnies and wear ankle socks with a frill round the top.
The boots you linked to are lovely but what I prefer about the Spirals is the dip at the front and that the heels are black rather than brown
Hope that helps Smile

Thanks Afton - interesting. Silly me though, I meant to ask the questions about the Jalouse! Still, you answered my question when you referenced the ponty toe on the Jalouse - in that case the Jalouse aren't for me. Off to see whether the Spirals are done in grey but I think not.

If anyone else reads this - it's the Jalouse which I meant to ask about!!!

Thanks!

The Jalouse are more pointy but I have wide feet and find them comfortable. I have spirals also but prefer my Jalouse.

Mmm I was looking at photos and the Jalouse don't look that pointy. Food for thought. Thanks MrsRS

I have the Jalouse and don't find them too pointy and are v comfy so don't crush my toes. I tend to wear trainer socks with them if wearing them with skinnies and if my skinnies aren't cropped or rolled up you can't see any flesh or sock

I love my spirals. Toe isn't too pointy, my socks do show though. It doesn't bother me because I'm a sockaholic and all my socks are awesome!

Decision made! Have just ordered the Jalouse in Wood Ash. Hope I like them! Thanks all.

What I will say is that they run massive! I am a 36 so can't size down... I would say the 36 fitted more like a 37.5 on me! I was really peed off to have to send them back!

MrsMcGregor · 08/11/2013 21:42

Oh no! I ordered my usual size. Bugger. Ah well, will wait and see what they're like. Grin

Think I ordered my normal size & had to send back for a size smaller if I remember right

MrsRogerSterling · 08/11/2013 22:28

I ordered normal size and they fit perfectly.
