I have really really been lusting over the Dolce Vita slouch boots, and now that I can get them for a great price @ Standard Style, I am having trouble choosing which color. I want to wear them w/both skirts and over jeans. I'm thinking I'd get more use out of the black, but I know sometimes black leather can look not very nice. The gray are gorgeous, but I don't know if I can justify the color.
Just as versatile as black IMO, but the gray kicks them up to 'Piece' status. The shape is pretty classic, and because of that I don't think they also need to be black to keep them useable for many years to come.

Given I just bought them earlier today, I vote grey! :)
I think they are going to be pretty versatile too, since you can wear them slouchy or not. I also saw some pics of a girl who bought them and they look awesome both ways.
I was so happy to find them at standard style too! They come out to $177 which is pretty good since shopbop probably won't have them on sale for a few more months.
Let us know what you decide!

holy crap, equivocation over... $177 is a mega-steal! where did you find the code? ST database?
ETA: I love that we're all going to have the same boots... reminds me of when we bought out all the stock at Magnolia Shoes within the space of a day and a half last winter...

The code was in the August Lucky Mag. It's for 30% off - use code "luckymag"
You girls are going to think I'm totally nuts, but I got the black! I have no knee high black boots and I have been looking to get a new pair since last fall. I love the gray, but I really truly needed black - for me that's a staple. It was a really hard decision!
Sorry, I am late to this post, looks like you already decided. While I agree the grey really makes them stand out as a "piece," I would have gone with the black too. I love black boots.
i jumped on the bandwagon and ordered these too- couldn't resist w.that code! shopchicago, i also got the black. the grey is awesome but i feel like it could look weird/unflattering against my skin tone, and i don't think we can go wrong w.a hot pair of black boots!
HOT boots-- I love them!!! Did the code already expire? If not, I may want them too!
Edit: The code did NOT expire so I bought them in black also. YAY-- I'm SO HAPPY!!! I'm a boot fanatic and those boots are just gorgeous. And I love that you can wear them tall or slouched.
