Urgent Decision-Making Help Required!

[thestrangequark]

I desperately need help! Which saddle shoes should I buy? There are too many options! I've narrowed them down to three, all have their own unique qualities.

The classic saddle shoe: a staple of Western style since the 1920's, this fine leather, black and white shoe compliments almost any outfit, from a full-skirted sundress to blue jeans and a tee:

The same as the classic saddle, but with a white heel and sole that is slightly less common these days:

The traditional saddle's funky cousin, a hint of the 1970's here, but imagine how well they'd go with my new dress and beret (as seen in the picture and purchases threads):

Help me, ladies and gentlemen, you're my only hope!

 

[Hoser]

If it were me personally, I'd buy the top ones. But I think we need pics of your general 'look' to decide.

 

[thestrangequark]

Well, this is the outfit I was citing, which would go so well with the last pair:

But I'm afraid I have as many outfits that would do just as well with either of the first pairs. O, what a dilemma!

 

[TheBrew]

I would get the first or third one. I am wary of shoes with white soles as they get easily and noticeably dirty. That is the reason why my last shoes are an off-white to hid the dirt from use.

 

[RoJoHen]

Not the third one.

 

[Roger Wilco]

I'd buy the shoes that fit best and are most comfortable.

I think I'd go for the top ones myself.

I'd buy the shoes that fit best and are most comfortable.

You know nothing of women's shoes. Good show!

I'd go with the top ones, myself.

 

[judge alba]

aha! best way to solve the dilema is to buy all three. always being told a lady can never have too many shoes

 

[JNG]

The second one. Slight modernized spin on a classic covers both angles without giving anything up.

 

[Pingfah]

The top or the second, definitely not the third.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Top one. The 1920s look is for you.

 

[Hoser]

That is incredibly cute. The third would make it look a dash sexier, the first would make it look a dash cuter.
So I guess it depends on your intention for the suit, but I still like the first pair overall.

middle pair. but you'd look hot in a bin liner...

 

[Starseeker]

Does anyone know if Captcalhoun is a serial killer or not? Because I suddenly think this information is relevant.

Goodness, so many opinions and still such a difficult choice! I've narrowed it down to the first or last pair. I do really like the white soles, but I've been reminded that they dirty easily, and I know they're hard to clean. I walk an average of 8-10 miles a day, on the scummy streets of New York; I imagine my shoes would be filthy in a week's time.

That means classic or funky -- I still can't decide! As for buying both pairs? O, I wish I could! Alas, finances are not such that I can spend $160 on shoes -- especially as I just spent over a hundred on dresses.

Flip a coin. Heads is pair one, tails is pair three -when the coin's in the air, you'll discover which one you truly want.

Personally, I think the first pair is more versatile.

 

[backstept]

I think the first pair would be best
the third pair may be a little too 'punk' for your style

 

[An Officer]

Walking 8-10 miles would not be as comfortable in the third.

If I were you I'd go classic - first pair all the way. But if I were me I'd jerk off on all three in a big circle at the same time. Thank you.
