Which BB shoes should I buy?

mykel67 · Jun 14, 2008

I would like to take advantage of the BB online sale that ends tomorrow. There are some great deals on shoes. The two I like best (or rather, styles I don't already have) are below. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Don't buy shoes because of sales!

Of the two you posted, I prefer the style of the first, the Check Fabric Captoe Boot.

Both the above posters are correct.

Can't say I like either of them.

I agree with the poster who said, don't just buy because they are on sale. I always ask myself whether I want the shoe at the normal price....then if it goes on sale, so much the better.

I know there are people who say they have built their entire collection of fine shoes with everything purchased on sale.

Not my approach.

Why not? I could use a pair of brown ankle boots for the fall, I like both of these, and they are on sale until tomorrow. My interest in them is not solely derived from the fact that they are on sale.

I prefer the first pair. I take it that you are a 10.5D?

...and that was the initial point.

Both shoes are ugly and would get lots of looks, and not the admiring type.

The fact that they are on such deep discount most likely have to do with the unpopular style, i.e. they are butt ugly.

But buy what you like, it's your money.

mykel67 · Jun 14, 2008

Thanks. I disagree.

mykel67 · Jun 14, 2008

I like those too, but I find that the tabs on the uppers get caught on my pants when standing up after sitting, and I'm always having to pull them down. A minor complaint, I know.

These are my favorite of their current set of clearance items:

+2 on the boots. I may have to save some pennies and buy those.
