The Vicar is here (Pikolinos)

These are definitely more rugged than the Lex! I’m not sure what color you would call this—alabaster perhaps but it’s not a creamy white. White with a grey tinge? That being said, they are extremely comfy and fit very well around my skinny ankles. I’m going to have a hard time making a decision! Will have to play around with them and see which plays better with my closet! Opinions welcome!

I am considering these in another color, so I'm glad to hear they are comfortable.

Golly, I love these. You look awesome in them, of course.
The all-white Lexi is too much white for me, but ymmv.
How did the Pikolinos buckle on these do with your pants? I had to stop wearing my combat boots with midi skirts, because they ripped up the hems.

You looks very pleased with them and your smile says it all! I think they look great with that dress…. Thanks for sharing more about the color. Judging color online is so tricky!

The dark sole does bookend your dark hair, but that’s a small detail, so really it’s whichever pair feels the most comfortable. You couldn’t go wrong with either of them.

It will be fun to see how these and the Lex work in your closet. I had thought I'd prefer these for you, but the creamy color of the Lex is really nice. I doubt you can go wrong with either.

Those are great on you! If they are comfy, keep for sure!

I also bought the Pikilinos and wanted to add (for those who may be considering) that they are incredibly light.

Great boots! Love the color, the stock photo makes it look like a kind of fake weathering, IYKWIM, but in person it looks more natural. I can see it would be a tough decision!

I have some white/ grey Eileen Fisher pieces that are called “bone”. They look great on you.

The buckle on these boots make them so darned cute while being satisfyingly stomp-y at the same time. I don’t envy your decision because you’re gonna have two great options!

Those are really cute!
The Lex in photos looks like higher shaft , so may affect how they feel and move when walking. Colors are key for me too so would depend on how the different cream colors work with your wardrobe and whether more dresses with them vs pants.

These are PERFECT on you! They look so you, and so easy to wear. I'm not a big fan of the Lex's because of the all-in-one look of the cream sole, and to me , these look really authentic . Plus trying to keep a sole and heel clean all winter (well, I guess you don't have such a thing as winter in Cali, lol) would be very difficult. Great orange dress too

These look so cute on you!

Decisions, decisions! These look awesome on you (as did the all-cream pair)!

You are so cute! And you obviously look happy with the boots. They seem pretty neutral...like they'll go with almost anything. I bought the Lex, but they're barely out of the box. I like that they're water resistant. I've never been able to commit to an expensive waterproof boot. I figure if it's too messy outside, I'm wearing my snow boots, lol!

Oh I really like these too! Maybe a little more than the others as the shaft height seems slightly more flattering.
Good luck with your decision. Both pairs are awesome.
I like how you’ve styled these with the dress. Very nice.

KILLER perfect.

Thanks, Fabbers! I was tickled when I pulled them out of the box. Debbie, Shevia and rachy--you read my expression so well! They really are so close in color to my slate Fryes that have proven to go with everything and you’re right, Staysfit and Joy. Creams are really hard to evaluate in on line photos but I think it is closer in color to bone--with grey undertones. Did not have enough time to try them with outfits yet but am hoping to this weekend and will definitely post the results, Suz! They are supremely comfortable and light--just like my old Pikolinos. Khris, I think you will be pleased! FI - the buckle is the only thing that gives me pause. I don’t think it will be an issue but I’ll only know once I remember why I was on the search for a light, shorter boot.

@Lisa: Thank you! IKWYM about the cream sole--and I totally agree with you. I just can’t believe how much I actually liked the Lex on and in person--that coming from Ms. Practicality and you’re right--there really is no winter in Cali but I have a conference in Chicago later this year...

@Dana: Thank you. Agreeing that the water resistance is a plus. I can imagine the Lex would be perfect with your hair color!

@Smittie: I go back and forth on the shaft height. I do think the Lex might be better for midis.

@Angie: So nice of you to chime in. I appreciate you doing so when I know you’re so busy. Hugs!

Thank you, Susan, Beth, Sharan, Slimcat, misvee, Aquamarine, April, Kkards, Kathie, Janet, Marlene, Robin, Laura, Unfrumped, Vintage Dawn and Jonesy! I have a tough/fun decision to make!
