OK, folks. Help me decide between two almost identical pair of boots

[Flaxbee]

Two very close boots, heel height the same, but the look is a bit different. What say you? And why, if you don't mind. :hi:

Choice 1 has a smaller fold-over at the top of the boot:



Choice 2 has a larger fold-over at the top of the boot:

[TorchTheWitch]

1. the boot with the smaller fold looks more stylish and balanced

The only reason I'd go with the one with the long fold is if that long fold can be unfolded to make the ankle boot into a higher boot so you'd essentially have two boots in one. Doesn't look like you can do that with it though, but it's hard to tell with what little you can see of the inside and zipper.

[Flaxbee]

13. You know, I'm really tired, I was up most of the night

watching the eclipse and then I had to drive 2 hours for a half hour meeting, and drive home.

Which is why the thought "circumsized" and "uncircumsized" popped into my head. I need a nap.

I think I like the first ones better, too. They're both the same price, too, so that isn't a deciding factor. And not sure if the second boot's flap could fold up to make a higher boot, or if it's stitched into place. :shrug:

2. They're both ankle breakers.

[Flaxbee]

14. heh! not if you've taken a good look at women's shoes lately, these are wayy conservative

in terms of heel height (is that what we were talking about?)

[hobbit709]

37. High heels on boots in inclement weather-what are the odds?

[MissHoneychurch]

3. I like both

I can't decide which I like better.

I guess you need to order both and then see which one looks better on your foot.

[Flaxbee]

15. Me too! I think I like the first better, the more I look at them.

Also, they're the same price, so I can't decide based on that factor. :(

[Rosie1223]

4. I like the detail on the cuff on boot #1

That would be my choice.

:hi:

[Flaxbee]

16. I think I'm going to choose that one, too.

Or I might order both and see which one looks and feels best, but for a simple online image, I think I prefer the first one.

[bigwillq]

5. Choice 1

Nice boots. Like the color.

[Flaxbee]

17. I like the color, too. I have some black boots and some

dress pumps, and didn't want another pair of black shoes; plus, I have a lot of grey and complementary colors that these will go with.

[HopeHoops]

6. The one on the bottom looks like someone fucked up making a taller boot and folded it over.

Actually, now that I think about it, that's probably exactly what it is.

10. !!!

[Flaxbee]

19. or, they didn't have enough material left over to make full boots, so they made

ankle boots instead.

[TorchTheWitch]

36. yeah, there is something haphazard looking about it

That kind of struck me, too. Or maybe it's just too damn plain.

[ceile]

7. #2

I'm not a fan of "ankle" boots, so #2 looks a little more boot like to me. But they're both nice. Love the color too.

[Flaxbee]

20. Some people don't like ankle boots - I have a high pair of black

boots and wanted something that would cover my foot and give my ankle a little support... I like the color (hoping it doesn't get dirty too fast).

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. To wear, to display, to enter into a design competition, or to eat?

:P

I don't like the seam on the front of the foot on the top one - the bottom one is nice and clean.

But I don't like the fold-over on the bottom one, though it has a nice casual feel that one might wear in the lobby area of a ski resort while drinking coffee or a cocktail before the fire and wearing a nice big fluffy sweater.

The first one looks more like "I'm out and about and being active right now"

[Flaxbee]

22. See? They each have pluses and minuses. Hard to choose.

I think I'll be wearing them, hope I don't have to eat them, but shoe leather soup is not altogether unheard of!

[baldguy]

9. Which one is made in America?

[Flaxbee]

23. made ... in ... America?

What does that mean?

Actually, I don't know. The site doesn't list where they're made, but I can probably check it out.

[some guy]

11. the 2nd pair

sort of looks like it already has the leg of a pair of pants covering it, so actually adding pants would make it look like you had two pair of pants on.

if that makes sense.

[Flaxbee]

24. But do I want to look like I have two pairs of pants on?

Or maybe, if I wore a long skirt, it'd look like I had pants on under my skirt. :)

[kimi]

12. Oh, I like the 1st example

It just looks random. I'm a big fan of random.

Random boots, random stories, random se -- never mind.

Srsly, the first pair looks better IMO. Just - cooler. I'd wear em.

With a teddy and garter and -- okay, never mind.

[Flaxbee]

26. Interesting ideas. Good to know.

:)

[Pithlet]

18. I like them both, but I like 2 better.

It has a cleaner look, and I tend to go with that myself. 1 is just a little trendier. But they're both cute. :)

[Flaxbee]

27. Yeah, I like 'em both. And they're the same price, too... both on sale.

Sigh.

Might just do as MissHoneychurch suggested and order both to see which ones fit and look best.

[cbdo2007]

21. I can't decide without a picture of you wearing them.

Not to see a picture of you necessarily, but it isn't what the boot looks like it's how it looks on you.

[Flaxbee]

28. True. It will all depend on how they look in the mirror and

with what I usually wear.

[mikeytherat]

25. No. 1 - flaps aside, the curved stitching is more interesting.

[Flaxbee]

29. I liked the curved stitching, too. It's appealing, somehow.

:hi:

[MorningGlow]

30. The first one

It has better lines and looks more balanced. I like the straight heel, too, instead of the flared-out-at-the-bottom one of the second boot.

Now you make me want to go shopping for ankle boots! Mmmm...boots... :P :hi:

[Flaxbee]

31. boots good! I'm leaning toward the first pair, too.

Nice to hear opinions, though, and the reasons behind them! :hi:

[old mark]

32. 1. My wife recently got a somewhat similar pair in black, and they are

surprisingly well made...many women's shoes are not...(You may have noticed this.)

[Kali]

33. I don't like ankle boots, but I like the design details of #1 best

straighter heel, curved vamp and the cuffing is much more interesting

[IcyPeas]

34. Pair # 1....

the second pair are too plain. I like the stitching details better on the first pair. It makes them more interesting.

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

35. #2 looks like it is made a little better

the heel details and stitching give a more expensive feel, #1 looks just a little more "cheap"

overall though tough call.

[GoCubsGo]

38. I never understoon how women could walk in heels that high

I never could handle anything over an inch. My feet hurt just looking at them. That being said, I like the first pair better.

[bluedigger]

39. Both, of course!

They are for different outfits. #1 for when your lower leg is exposed, #2 for when you are wearing long pants/jeans with the cuff over the top of the boot. :thumbsup:

pm me for all your fashion dilemmas, gfs!:rofl:

[Kat45]

40. I think the one with the smaller fold is nicer looking. n/t
