Brown Suede Boots

dot · Marc Jacobs

i think they are so-so. i think FP bought a pair of calvin klein boots in brown that are a very similar style. i have seen the calvin ones in person and think they are pretty nice.

These are $190 but I think they are pretty nice.

dot - the CK ones are very nice, but I need to be able to try them on before buying. My concern w/the CK ones is, i haven't seen them anywhere but online?

I LOVE those Steve Madden ones! I'm such a sucker for a round toe though :) Only thing is, SM is kinda uncomfortable a lot of times so if you could, I would try them on first or make sure the return policy is a good one.

ETA: Those same boots are on zappos.com for $133!

Steve Madden can be very uncomfortable, so I would definately try them on. But I do like them, I really like the fold-down part.

Thanks for posting that they are on Zappos needsfashionadvice! Cheaper is better! I will definitely go to SM and try them on first though - I've experienced the pain associated w/SM before.

I've tried both the calvin klein boots and steve madden. The steve madden were more fitted on me, the ck boots are loose and not very structured since they are pull on and the sm have a zipper. I wear a size 6 so depending on what size you wear, the fit could be totally different for you. in my opinion though i like the sm best because of the fit. hth.

That helps! I actually want the leg to be as fitted on me as possible. Thanks!
