Help me pick a boot!

theotherjess · Chanel

I would get the black ones.

To be honest, I don't like those bottom ones in black as much as brown, so I'd get brown. I think the top boots are very classic & if you have trouble finding them to fit you, you could wear these in years to come. The bottom ones are a whole different look & I don't think it's silly to have several pair of brown boots. As a matter of fact I have 3 pair of brown boots now that I think about it. But they are all different (harness, shearling, & croc skin) so I don't feel bad about it at all!

Do you really really need tall black boots this season? I am thinking I can make it through the fall & winter with my 3 pair of brown boots - but maybe that's just me.

ETA - i love both pairs of those boots BTW.

They are so divine I woul be tempted to get both colors, but since we are being practical here go for the black.

tara t · Marc Jacobs

i like the black ones. i love the dress by the way.

Tati · Chanel

i'd get black, nice boots!

Hedvig · Coach

I just think dark brown suede looks so gorgeous so I'd pick the brown ones. They are fabulous!

Claudia · Gucci

Those boots are gorgeous. I like both colors, but if I really had to chose I'd go with brown. I think you can wear them with a lot more things.

Andrea Julia · Coach

I may be biased, but I like them a lot better in brown though I understand what you mean about not wanting to buy brown boots when you already have brown, but not black. I just think that the brown suits them better.

FashionPrincess · Hermes

I really love them in both colors. Black is back in a big way this fall/winter, so I say go with the black. That way you'll get good use out of the brown ones you already bought (beautiful!) and the black slouchy ones.

Lilykind · Hermes

I like both colors equally, so I'd have to say go with the black because you've got the very similar brown pair already.

rlutz · Chanel

I love those boots...I say go with the black!

atlgirl · Gucci

I like the brown a lot, but if you don't already have black boots...then I'd go with the black.

Or, you could get them in the brown and then look for a pair of black leather boots to be your more functional pair...suede is a bit higher-maintenance, so you might not want to wear the slouchy ones as much in bad winter weather.

Do you mind sharing the brand on the first ones you posted? I am looking for black boots to fit my calves...no luck locally, but I'd be inclined to try Zappos for them if you like what you got.

No problem - they are all Via Spiga, and I got the tall ones at the Via Spiga store for $330. Zappos has them, but only in black.

And thanks for all the great feedback everyone! You guys are awesome. I PROMISE to post threadstyle pics of both boots ASAP!
