What would you buy?

I just got a 20% off coupon from Payless and I'm looking to buy a pair of boots for the winter. 

I already have: 

- a pair of dark brown faux leather boots with heels.  These come up to my knees.    (Love these, but my feet hurt if I wear them too long)
- a pair of grey suede boots, no heel and they come up a few inches above my ankles. (Also love these but my feet get wet if it is slushy outside)

 So if you were me which pair would you get: 

Dark brown riding boots (like the look better but they would not be as warm.  Plus I already have brown boots.)

OR

Black fur lined boots.  (not as cute IMO but would be warm and dry.  And I don't have black boots yet.)

Re: What would you buy?

  • I would buy the black boots.

  • Since you've already got brown knee high boots, I'd go with the black ones.

     Good luck!  Boot shopping is always fun!!

  • I like the brown better, but if I was in need of black I'd keep searching for a black pair I liked.  :)
  • If you like the black ones, get the black ones. But, if you aren't completely in love with them,I would wait until I found a pair I loved. Otherwise, they would just end up in the pile of shoes in the closet. The ones that I bought because I might wear them some day :)

    I agree with this. Personally, I wouldn't get fur-lined boots for day wear because I think my feet would get way too hot. I have snow boots for the cold that I wear if I ride the bus or am traipsing through the snow, but bring "regular" shoes or boots to work to wear while I'm indoors.

  • Thanks for your replies.  I still don't know which pair to get.   Chymes point about having hot feet is a good one.... I'm always cold so I don't usually have hot feet in the winter but I've never had fur lined boots either so maybe I should rethink that. 

    I'll keep looking for now. Thanks again for your opinions!
