Big Bootie Dilemma

Patience

Veteran

Angie has posted so many nice booties that I can't decide! Please help me narrow it down because I want all of these:

I was thinking two out of the four was reasonable, but which two? I think I've got them pictured by color I prefer (black leather, natural, grey suede,dark brown/grey leather respectively) but I'm open to changing up the color choices for versatility. They are all comfortable for me. Thanks!

I like the Nine West Gianne the best but I remember Maya having an issue with them.

For you I vote Clarks Turkish Blend and Nine West Cleeo next.

I was just looking at the Turkish blend booties today and wishing I could wear them, so I'm going with those. I think they would really suit your style as well.

I did not like the look of the Gianne booties on me. I would have preferred a visible wedge and somehow the toe just looked ridiculous and clownlike on me. I don't know, perhaps they look better on others.

BTW, I completely misjudged what this thread would be about when I saw the title.

Turkish Blend and Nine West Cleeo...but I also like Gianne...

They are all great looking booties but, for you, how about the Nine West Cleeo as the pair you may be able to wear the longest in your warm climate because of the color? It seems like a great addition to a boot collection in that the shape and color are different from most, yet still a neutral and leg-lengthening color in a style (bootie) that, to me, seems to shorten legs when higher contrast. Maybe I need to rethink how to explain. Does it make sense?

I think the Cleo and Turkish Blend would go best with your style. They are all very nice though. Trying to pick from four lovely and comfortable booties ~ what a great dilemma to have!

Do you already have any booties? If so, tell us what you have so we can try to help you think what would best round out your collection.

Patience, I don't think you can go wrong so I'd leave it up to your personal preference (I'm not much help, am I?) plus what you already have in your wardrobe both for shoes and clothes. If I were choosing for myself, I'd choose #1 and #2 as they seem more timeless with cleaner cut lines to me while still be edgy.

Patience, your booty is not big at all!! Oh...wait a minute, you're talking about bootIES...nevermind. I need to stop checking the forum & go to bed!

I vote the turkish blend and cleeo too!

The natural color of the Cleeo would be a great transition shoe while the temps are still warm.

I like the Turkish Blend's cool, funky vibe.

Cleeo
Nordies ones
Turkish blend x

I'm biased, because I have the Turkish Delight in gray suede. It's been too hot to road-test them, but they seem comfortable. The color is good - a dark charcoal. The diagonal cut at the top makes them fun, but it also makes them very flattering with dresses, as does the heel height.

I am glad you started this tread I am having a hard time also. I have the Cleeo and they look good with dresses and leggings but I wanted a more casual boot with a touch of rugged look. I like the looks of the Turkish blend but the heel is too high for me. Is heel height an issue for you? The MIA Sergeant are comfortable but came up very high at the ankle for me they cut my leg length and maybe a little youthful for me. I also like the Gianna almost ordered them. I think I am trying to get one boot to meet all my need.(can't be done) The Indigo by Clark Hedda would look on you and it would look good with drees without coming up to high on the ankle. I guess I am not help. I will be watching to see what you get because I need another pair beside the Cleeo

I have an older style similar to the Clarks Indigo Hedda and love them, plus black will bookend on you nicely. I then vote for the Nice West for a different style but still polished look compared to the Clarks for the most versability when choosing two.

I love all 3... so hard to choose just one. I would go for the black clarks.

Reneeb

Veteran

They are all nice I can not decide myself. I got the Cleeo and I think you would like them as a dress type & I love the Turkish Blend for a more funky look. The Turkish Blend is my favorite but the heel would be too high. Let me know I am having the same issue.

Sorry about posting twice my computer keep blinking.

I know you have a ton of opinions already,and maybe this has already been stated, but I would think that you might want one of your booties to be the flat ones given that you have kids in tow all day.

Thanks for all of the help, ladies. I'm starting to wonder if I can be helped as I am as undecided as ever. You have made some good points and I am realizing that the Clarks are very similar to each other as are the Nine West two pairs-- just different detailing. So I feel like I should get one of the Clarks and one of the Nine West. The reason I'm having trouble?
I like the Hedda because it sits below the ankle and it is most like what I was originally looking for bootie wise. However, the TB is just so cute with the laces and slouchiness. I have also been looking for a heeled oxford and feel like these would suffice.
For the Nine West, they both have cuffs and low heels; they just have different feels and I like both the mod style and the adorable knot.
Sigh.
And yes, I was being a little silly with the thread title.
