It's always unpredictable, of course, but this seems to be an item that wasn't the hot one modeled by all the influencers. In fact, this has been a pretty quiet shoe. So it is possible it would be marked down, but if I really want it, I probably won't count on that being the case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2273034 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 17:03:33 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2273034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Often items at NAS show up on deeper discount in a few months. Maybe the color you don't choose will fall into that category. For burgundy, that would be closer to the time you'd want to wear them, anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2273021 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 15:12:48 +0000 Echo 2273021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's no question that if you don't commonly wear tights, the taupe are more practical (and practical). But they're both absolutely beautiful, so if the taupe turn out to be comfortable, I'd keep both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2273017 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 14:56:49 +0000 delurked 2273017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kellygirl. I kind of forgot that whole part of the equation. That’s why I purchased the tan to begin with, but I got myself a little distracted. </p> <p>Here’s what I’m thinking. I spray the tan ones with protector and wear them out a couple times before I consider returning the other pair. </p> <p>Last night I legitimately had decided the opposite. I’ve really dithered more than I expected to, but I’m taking it back to why I purchased them in the first place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2273015 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 14:52:02 +0000 delurked 2273015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, Angie, I’m going to order that suede protector. It’s been a while since I’ve needed to use something like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2273014 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 14:51:05 +0000 kellygirl 2273014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well now that I hear your reasoning, I think tan is the way to go especially since your climate is warm most of the year. (IDK but I thought you were in Seattle?) I get the seasonally confused point especially as I have merlot booties and really only wear them in late fall and winter. So, I'm changing my vote to tan! You can wear the tan ones with dresses year round--well maybe not high summer but... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2273012 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 14:38:29 +0000 Suz 2273012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely a tough decision. I can see why you might lean toward the tan on that account. I hope they prove do comfy you keep both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2273010 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 14:24:25 +0000 delurked 2273010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all. </p> <p>I am benched as well. Last night I was thinking burgundy for sure. This morning I am back to thinking the tan. The burgundy I find pretty and more exciting. But the tan would be more versatile. There's not a lot of purple or warmer burgundy in my wardrobe, so I would mostly be wearing with black, navy and blues. Darker colors comprise a lot of my wardrobe.&nbsp; All of that could go with either, but I do have other things that definitely would be enhanced with having something very neutral and almost invisible to the outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>I used to have the Sam Edelman petty bootie in putty, if anyone remembers that. And I had a pair of Merrell booties. Both tan, and both workhorses. I wore them all the time. They were so neutral. I don't have anything currently that fills that hole, which is why I am back to leaning tan. I am not sure how comfortable they will be yet for real wear. I know they are comfortable for walking slightly through the house and standing to take the pictures. But it takes a little time for me to determine if they're really going to work for longer amounts of walking. If they are great it makes sense to duplicate, but until then, it makes sense to try out one of them. </p> <p>Also, I think the main reason that I'm reconsidering the tan so hard is because my weather is warm most of the year. The lighter color of the boots allows me to wear them throughout more of the year without looking as seasonally confused. I don't mind wearing booties in the summer if they make sense, and the tan ones tend to work better for that, where I save the darker ones for fall/winter (maybe stretching it to say Nov. - Mar).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2272998 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 13:52:24 +0000 Angie 2272998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER x2.</p> <p>Cannot pick a fave. I am benched.&nbsp; </p> <p>You can spray protector on both. I've found it really helps!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2272972 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 12:59:59 +0000 RobinF 2272972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both!

If forced to choose one I think I’d go for the burgundy version for practical reasons. I think the tan pair, being suede and a light colour, would get dirty easily. I’d hold out for a tan pair that’s not suede. (Although I know that’s not necessarily an easy find.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2272937 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 04:15:54 +0000 Suz 2272937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, these look so great! (Love the dress, too, by the way).&nbsp;</p> <p>I'd be tempted by the burgundy most, but can you have both? Tan bookends so well and is great for spring/ early fall. Burgundy is so rich for the winter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2272935 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 03:12:54 +0000 Irina 2272935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m all for neutral but love burgundy just a tiny bit more. Both are seriously gorgeous, though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2272929 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 02:36:19 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2272929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'm the outlier, as the pic with the tan ones jumped out at me. I think I'm drawn to the magical bookend effect with your hair. That said, I do find the burgundy beautiful as well and see how they will complement darker colors. Is keeping both of them out of the question? They seem to be a great style for you. I am biased this way: I have a pair of booties that I duplicated in burgundy and graphite, a sort of pewter color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2272920 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 02:05:48 +0000 Jaime 2272920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Burgundy are great but I like the tan also. Bookends your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2272918 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 02:01:44 +0000 VintageDawn 2272918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the burgundy, although it may just be with that dress as the tan ones look good on you as well and I'd be they'd be great with jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2272907 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 00:57:57 +0000 Janet 2272907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great! I love that kind of sock-style boot. No flower pot effect! I prefer the burgundy too, although they both look like they would work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2272906 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 00:55:20 +0000 JAileen 2272906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you’ve already decided. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2272899 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 00:43:42 +0000 kellygirl 2272899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Burgundy is a neutral in my book. I think they’ll be workhorses! Soo fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2272897 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 00:39:12 +0000 Sal 2272897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are both nice.&nbsp; For me it would depend what else I had in my closet - if I already had taupe/camel booties I would go with the burgundy.&nbsp; I do find burgundy quite easy to mix in with other colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2272892 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 00:23:53 +0000 gryffin 2272892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Delurked - I really like the burgundy. Terrific and very flattering. So if you can only keep one that gets my vote. I do think the tan is great with your hair and if they are comfortable and useful keeping a neutral is great. But if there can be only one, then the burgundy is stunning. Love!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2272889 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 00:11:56 +0000 Kathie 2272889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Burgundy! Though I will admit that I'm biased, and have relatively few pairs of shoes in safe neutrals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off---gentle-souls-bootie#post-2272883 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 00:02:20 +0000 delurked 2272883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p></p> <p>Burgundy is more fun, and would be harder to find again. Tan matches more, bookends, and is elongating. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen this style - not exactly, but what I call sock booties. Lower heeled like this is even more rare.</p> <p></p> <p>ETA: I'm going to keep the tan ones and return the burgundy. I don't see needing two of these, but if I catch it on a more marked down sale at some point, I will reconsider. </p>
