The boots are much more of a true taupe, so they didn't really match, but the distance made it "good enough". Sadly, these boots continue to be annoyingly uncomfortable so they will probably go to someone with less picky feet than mine!

Plus I am not a patient person.  Love your OOTD, great colors. On my screen the sweater, bag and boots all match. Is that the case in real life? Looks very cohesive. The kitten heel boots look very polished, a fun look with jeans.

Chocolate refined booties are going to be winners on you- very chic.

I agree with others that the most comfortable pair should win. They are all pretty. I love your outfit!

I tend to order online but it has challenges and pitfalls. It’s enough to make me rethink online shopping at times. I have zero shoes for this winter size a pair of Uggs. So I really need to get cranking on some winter dress boots. Love both pairs! I feel they both work but if the Clark’s are comfortable, they certainly are worth keeping! I’m so thankful brown is black in footwear. I’ve been moving away from black and all this brown excites me!

I like both the new options, so whichever is most comfy is the one to choose.  Lisa on "The saga of the brown booties" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-saga-of-the-brown-booties#post-2369539 Sun, 08 Sep 2024 02:01:01 +0000 Lisa 2369539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ugh that’s frustrating. It reminds me of NAS this year when my purchases kept getting canceled then I’d reorder and it would go through.  The new boots look great to my eye. Comfortable footwear is so important I vote keep it they pass your comfort tests. <div> </div><div>I’m loving the brown paired with light blue jeans in the OOTD. The bag is the perfect touch of texture and a fun shape for this look. I envy your sweater weather. It got so hot today in my area I had to change midday into shorts!</div> Jaime on "The saga of the brown booties" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-saga-of-the-brown-booties#post-2369533 Sun, 08 Sep 2024 00:54:33 +0000 Jaime 2369533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The pair you are wearing looks the best to me. The heel placement looks the most comfortable and I like the shape. You look great in the photo! The customer service you received was laughable and I would mark the first ad they send you as spam .

On the Canadian site it actually said 1.3 cm which I assumed was supposed to be inches ... The comedy of errors continues hahaha Definitely the comfy pair wins, and goodness knows what pair might materialize in the interim!

How frustrating. Sorry, Helena :( PATIENCE!  But a happy ending, nonetheless! Can't go wrong with either pair. Choose the most comfy of the two.  Looking fably '90s in your #OOTD! That's my favourite taupe jumper on you ;)  Helena on "The saga of the brown booties" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-saga-of-the-brown-booties#post-2369527 Sat, 07 Sep 2024 22:04:53 +0000 Helena 2369527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with you Jenni, in person is better but the options in person here are DIRE lately! :( The heels are all about 1.5 inches ... I'm okay with this height so long as the shoes are VERY comfortable. I have zero tolerance for discomfort on my feet anymore! Jenni NZ on "The saga of the brown booties" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-saga-of-the-brown-booties#post-2369526 Sat, 07 Sep 2024 21:50:04 +0000 Jenni NZ 2369526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Certainly a nuisance! This is why in-person shopping mostly works better for me, although I usually do research online first. They all look very nice booties and the Clarks ones look great in your photo. Can’t see the heel height. The other two have heels that would be too high for me. Helena on "The saga of the brown booties" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-saga-of-the-brown-booties#post-2369523 Sat, 07 Sep 2024 21:32:53 +0000 Helena 2369523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, shopping in Canada *sigh* ... actually I know it's dire in many places! So I ordered the Steven Madden boots (find 1) because I was not going to dither and dawdle and not decide, which is what I usually do. First that they had an offer for a discount if you signed up for their email list. I received two codes which didn't work. I emailed customer service to learn the discount code could not be applied to the boots, which felt a bit bait-and-switchy, but okay. After several days I had no shipping info, even though the (supposed) ship date had passed. On to customer service again, who said the order was ready to ship and I should receive a notice shortly. Then I received an email saying my order was delayed to Sept 27. At this point I'd soured on the boots, so I emailed to cancel the order. No sooner had I hit send then I got an email to say, actually the boots were no longer available!! Suffice it to say, those boots were not meant to be lmao!! Today I found some Clarke's booties (photo) which came home with me. I've also ordered a pair of Naturalizer booties (photo 3) which are *supposed* to ship by the 18th. Hopefully one of these will work. I am leaning to the Naturalizers because they have a cleaner design, but I do like the first pair (and they are comfortable, importantly).  Patience is a virtue right Angie?!?!?! Wish me luck with these two next options! Bonus photo of my OOTD with the new handbag in action, at least that purchase worked
