Brown Round Toe Boots

ayo · Coach

I like the second BR ones best...but I question the quality is worth the amount of money they are asking for it. (BR shoes have been very hit or miss for me)

So I say go for the K.Cole ones..I know for fact that they make their shoes pretty well and $100 for knee high leather boots, that's fantastic.

If we were just choosing based on style, I like the second pair of BR boots the best. I thinkt the are the most graceful because of the slim heel. IIRC, LOTS of girls here bought BR boots in the last couple fall/winter seasons, so maybe they could speak more on the quality?

Christine · Coach

Something about the 2nd pair is bothering me. I think it's because I feel like the heel is too slim and tiny to balance out the visual heaviness of the round toe, so it feels malproportioned. I like the 1st pair, the heel is a little more substantial without being chunky and goes better with the toe.

I think slim heels on boots go best with pointy toes!

Aldo has a pair similar to the first pair for 169.99 CAD. I can't find any pics though. Sorry.

rlutz · Chanel

I really like the first pair...

I have yet to meet a decent-quality pair of BR shoes and I honestly like #3 the best...plus most KC boots are really comfy and the leather is really nice, especially at its price point. I literally can't stop stroking my KC boots...hehe

Edit: ooops I said 1 but I meant 3.

I like #1 a lot, but don't know that I would buy boots from banana. I am thinking about #3 myself.

Lilykind...

I do like the KC also - I was just worried about them being slouchy around the ankles - do you have these?

Lilykind · Hermes

I don't have that style of KC boots, but I do have another pair of kitten heeled ones from them (they have pointy toes and are black) and they do slouch a bit around the ankles, but I can't afford to be fussy because these were the only non-stretch leather boots that have ever fit my calves.
