Clarks boots - should I duplicate?

Well, the Franco Sarto caramel boots came and the fit is SO off. I sized up and STILL too small in the foot/instep. I can force the boots to zip but the stretchy vent up the back is unattractive, and I can already feel the discomfort in my foot from the tightness.
Moving on.

So, the black Clarks (Ingalls Vicky) I got are great-and they are available for a low price in brown.

Should I duplicate? Does the brown look odd?

Considerations:
The black pair is super comfortable.
I'd like a fab pair of brown boots. I was aiming for cognac but dark brown definitely has my attention this season.
It's very hard for me to find tall boots that fit my wide calves and high instep.
I don't want to settle if the coloration on the brown pair makes them less than a 10.
Rounded toes like these are best for me. Pointy toes are really uncomfortable.

Comfortable footwear is key for me these days and when you find an item that fits incredibly well and is cry, I'm all for duplicating.

I really like the brown - the color and detail are quite rich looking IMHO. I say buy

I like the color in the smaller photos but not as much in the link. The rich brown would go well with your hair! Any time you find boots that fit I think duplication is a good option (speaking as another hard to fit size).

I would go for it and once they arrive access how well that shade of brown plays with your wardrobe.

I'm the queen of the duplicates, so my experience needs to be taken with a grain of salt. But since you know your fit issues, and these resolve them, then I would definitely buy them. And of course, if they don't play well with others, send them back.

This thread is making me nostalgic for your old tan rockport boots. You have no idea how I coveted those boots!

I'm in camp with the others to buy the brown and try them out.

Reneeb

I have the black ones and they are so comfortable. I say buy the brown and see if the color works for you.

Team duplicate here. Comfortable footwear can be tough to find, so when the opportunity arises, I duplicate. Sometimes I even buy another one of the same color so that when one wears out, I'm all set. You can always send it back if you don't like the color. Love the black, btw. They seem to fit you well.

Kari

Yeah, Traci, I loved those Rockports too. *sigh* Was hoping the Franco Sartos would be a decent replacement.

Well, the price is low enough that I think I'll duplicate the Clarks.

Good call duplicating the Clarks. Foot comfort is very important. Let us know how you like the brown!

Glory

I think a duplication of the Clarks is a great idea. You know the fit it wonderful and they do look fab. From the photos the brown looks scrumptious!
