This is Vol. 2 of my freak out over boots that I’m having.  See, other than looking for snow boots, my other big obsession has been finding a pair of lace-up boots. I’ve been on the fence between finding a pair of  “granny boots” or a pair of combat boots.My main objective is that they lace-up.I posted a pair of boots on my Twitter to see what others thought of the particular pair, and a honest and caring friend told me to my face that they looked “wrestler chic” (thank you!), so we are back to square one.  Here are a few choices for boots that I’m thinking of:

Loving these LD Tuttle boots from Oak NYC. Not loving? The price tag at $889 is too rich for my blood right about now.

I also like these Jeffrey Campbell “Acme” boots, but I’m really not 100% sure about them:

And I REALLY like these boots from Modcloth. However, they wouldn’t work out in terms of practicality.

Now, can I show you the boots I found and thought were winners and   I mean, they pretty much hit the mark on everything I was looking for and the price is right?  They are here:

However, I had concerns about buying these from Ebay  and the ever fabulous and kick ass Wendy Brandes was nice enough to look the shoes and agreed that I should look for some other options for something quite similar to this shoe since I’m really in love with them. I’m looking for alternatives that will be kind to my pockets (I’m not supposed to be shopping for myself unless it’s for winter boots!) and have the same aesthetic as the boots above.

So I am asking you, dear reader:  do you know of a similar shoe? Think I should say “Eff it” and go with one of the above options?

And yes, I know, I still have got to do better
