Which Oxford? (Part 2)

Kari

A continuation of this post in which I'm indecisively wavering between two heeled oxfords...

Since many of you suggested ordering both pairs to see which was more comfortable, I decided to take advantage of the free overnight shipping & returns from Endless to give them a try. I think I'm leaning towards the Nicole pair but also wonder if the Steve Madden pair might be worth keeping too. Here's a recap and pictures:

What do you think? Should I keep one or the other - or both, potentially? I'll keep trying them around the house this weekend to test out the comfort.

At first I liked the grey leather ones better, but seeing you style up the bronze one's I am torn. I would keep them both...no help here:)

I like a light shoe with denim too:)

I have a strong preference for the Nicole ones (those are the darker ones right?). I can't explain why though.

I still like Steve Maddens but they seem to be less comfy pair. They both look really great so go with what makes your feet happy. But I have to say that Maddens look amazing under jeans and will be awesome come spring!

Taylor, Maya, and Bella, thanks for your comments... I'm torn! I keep thinking that the Nicole pair would be more versatile for me, and they are definitely more comfortable. But one the Steve Maddens also happen to be hitting my ankle at the point where I have a cut from shaving - the other foot feels much better. I don't know.

I am no expert in footwear or these particular brands but I would vote the Nicoles from what you wrote about comfort and versatility. If you have to talk yourself into keeping the lighter ones then maybe it's better to set them free! But again they are just shoes!
If you keep them and come Spring still aren't sure maybe you can sell them or swap them if the cost isn't a big issue right now.

The bronze ones, definitely. I covet all the lovely hose you have been wearing lately.

Thank you so much for your help and feedback! I'm very glad that the Nicole pair is the clear winner style-wise. I've been trying both pairs out around the house this weekend, and there just isn't any comparison as far as comfort. The Nicoles are quite comfortable on my feet despite the slightly higher heel, but the sole of the Steve Madden pair is so hard that my feet aren't adjusting. Plus, I like the Nicole pair better with skirts.

Hooray - my oxford search is over!

Yes, the darker ones, no contest! I love the way you've styled them!
