Thanks for this careful comparison. It's interesting to see them all side by side.  peekaboo on "Booties comparisons" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-comparisons#post-1003854 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 00:30:23 +0000 peekaboo 1003854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've ordered a whole lot of booties over the past month. I've made my decisions, but I figured maybe this would be useful for someone? Brown Lace up Boots #1-2 are <a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/steve-madden-leader-boot/3500406?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=2375500&fashionColor=Black+Leather&resultback=0&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_A">Steve Madden Leader boots in brown</a>.  These fulfilled my want for brown mid-calf lace up boots.  I also tried the Born Zelia but I didn't order brown and then I didn't get the sale price, and then I didn't want to pay the full price.  I also forgot to take a picture.  I also liked how the Steve Madden's have a zipper on the side which will make them easier to get on and off.  I keep all my shoes by the garage and put them on while carrying bags and toddler chasing, so ease in putting them on is key. Black Wedge Booties #3-5 is a comparison between <a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/clarks-rosepoint-dew-bootie/3457282?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=Dark+Brown+Suede&resultback=51&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_B">Clarks Rosepoint Dew in black</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/toms-desert-bootie-women/3557422?origin=related-3557422-0-1-4-2-Rich%20Relevence&PageCategoryId=PP">Toms Desert Bootie in black</a>.  I ended up keeping the Clarks, though it was a tough decision.  I liked the plaid liner in the Toms, the heel is slightly shorter and a little wider making it feel more stable.  The cushioning of the Clarks is better though.  My goal is to wear these with tights and dresses/skirts, so I felt the pointier toe on the Clarks was a little cuter for that application.  I am tempted to go back for the Toms in a different color though! Moto Booties #6-8 is a comparison between F<a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/frye-veronica-back-zip-short-boot/3580571?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=Cognac+Leather&resultback=83&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_B">rye Veronica Back Zip Short Bootie</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/cole-haan-alix-moto-boot/3294250?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=&resultback=0&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_A">Cole Haan Alix Moto Boot</a>.  I already own Frye Veronica slouch boots in brown, so I was a little hesitant to duplicate, even though I really like them.  In the end the leather of the Cole Haan was a little softer and they were more comfortable.  I felt they were a little more feminine with the blocky heel too.  And, they were a bit cheaper.  I know the Fryes would have broken in, but they are quite stiff to start and I think that put me off.  Plus, the back zip and snaps were kind of a pain compared to the pull on style of the Cole Haan. #9 is a comparison of my very old (c. 2004??) Via Spiga black wedge booties which I haven't worn in years since they are completely worn out, but saved nonetheless, and my new Clarks.  So I'm excited to finally have a replacement this year! Anyway, hope this was helpful for someone!
