Which of these booties would you pick?

I've been looking for some dressy booties (shooties) for quite awhile and think I have it narrowed to these two. http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....?ID=717821 and http://www.naturalizer.ca/Shop.....pg=7006272. I've linked pictures.

I have the Naturalizer pair here, but would have to order the Bandolino pair (I have tried them on, though). I kindof like the cutout on the naturalizer's, but also like the more "traditional" look of the first pair. The Naturalizer's look more like a bootie from the one side and a "shoe" from the other. They are both about the same height , although the platform on the Bandolino's is higher, so maybe they are a bit more comfortable. Basically, I like them both, but am wondering which you think are more attractive, etc. (and need help choosing) I am OK with both comfort-wise, I'm just wondering which you like more.

Tough call... I really like the cutout on the Naturalizer, but prefer the Bandolinos overall for the lovely shape and slimmer heel. The Naturalizers are more edgy, though, if that's what you're going for.

I prefer the shape of the bandolino. If you are looking for something pretty, then I like the bandolino for the detail and style. If you want something a bit more stand-out, then the naturalizers.

I like that the heel on the bandolino is leather so it doesn't damage as easilyh when driving. I also like the platform.

I like the Bandolinos best. But that cut-out is pretty, too.

Lot of help I am, right?

I like the Naturalizers with the cutout. The Bandolino's are fine too, I just prefer the Naturalizer.

I like them both. But if I could only choose one pair for winter, I'd go with the bandolinos. I would be afraid my feet would get cold with the cutout on the naturalizers.

I agree with Henley. For winter wear, I wouldn't want a cutout in my shoe. Bandolino for me!

Bandolino! So versatile.

Thanks everyone, it looks like the Bandolinos are in the lead by a bit, since most seem to also like the Naturalizers. (that's my problem, to... It's so nice to get someone else's opinion, so thank you so much! (and Happy American Thanksgiving! )

naturalizers because of how they fit close to the foot.

Another vote for the Bandolinos - they're gorgeous!

jem, swung back to give another vote for the naturalizers. they are more "fashiony" than the bandolinos. i prefer them if you are keen on pushing your fashion boundaries or are naturally more fashion forward. the limit on these shoes is the weather. but i see them transitioning more easily into the spring thanthe bandolinos. the cut out visually lightens the shoe. they also remind me of a maison martin margiela design of a few years ago.

the bandolinos are great comfy looking safe shoes that you will probably get to wear more frequently this winter. if you are looking for a supporting piece that slips more fluidly into a lot of outfits, then go for the bandolinos.

Tough decision! I think these have slightly different areas of use, and the ones with cut-outs are the least versatile. But both are nice! I would pick #1, but then winters are long and cold where I live.
