Report bootie vs. DV by Dolce Vita?

Vicki

One has to go back to Zappos. Does one look more flattering? I can't wear socks with the Report; otherwise they show. DV's have a slightly more rugged look. Both are comfortable. Thoughts are to return DV's for black. Rae & Suz, do you wear your Reports barefooted? Need advice before going to UPS store. 1: Reports 2: DV 3: DV on left & Report on right. Thanks!

I like the DV's. They look more streamlined.

I think I like the look of the DVs a little better if it's a choice between the two. But being boots, I myself would consider comfort foremost!

OOh! I like both of these on you.

I've worn my Reports with socks and sockless and (briefly, at home, practicing before our trip) with tights; all worked. With socks, my straight leg trousers were covering the rather loose ankle of the boot.

I have mixed feelings about the looser ankle fit of these. On the one hand, it's a bit of a pain for skinnies (although some are wide enough to fit around the opening and just stay scrunched there, and others can be tucked as you have done). But it works great for straight legs, and it also feels cooler to me. When I wore these bare legged with a dress, I liked having that extra room, even though it might not be "ideal" to show a gap at the ankle, I felt it worked okay (considering my pale legs) because of the V design of the vamp and the taupe colour; the booties are a "nude for me" and actually allowed me to wear booties with a dress and bare legs, something I otherwise would not try.

The DVs would fit nicely at the ankle but the zipper would be somehow more noticeable with a dress. So it really depends how you want to wear them (and the comfort factor!)

Love the way both bookend your hair.

Thanks for your feedback, ladies. It's a tough choice. I know what you mean about the wider opening, Suz. The look, overall, is a bit more feminine, but there are "issues" with pant leg hems.

I prefer the look of the DV's. Like AJ said, they look more streamlined.

I think both look great Vicki, but in terms of which one to keep it depends on how you intend on wearing them. I think for pants, the DV's work better but for skirts/dresses, I really like the Reports.

It all depends what you want to wear most with them. For skirt/dresses I like the ones that don't have the zipper (I am so confused about their names, sorry). if you want the ankle slimmer for wearing with skinnies, I'd go for the zippered ones. Hope I'm not too late!
