    help me pick shoes

    ok...which do you like the best

    these they have a nice thick hiking boot type sole (that I love) but are broguey enough to be sorta dressy.

    or something like this which are more girly, but still retain the thick sole, and have the nice buckle closure?

    I like them both alot. I think both pairs are available in black and the more casual brown.

    Between the two I like the first pair more.

    I have the first pair in black. In fact, I wore them for my wedding with my PC.

    I like the two buckle set up on the second pair. To me they are not "girly", though they are feminine. I think they would look far more dressy (and better) in black. I'll be the stand alone and vote for #2.

    Cheers

    The first one. but you could go barefoot and paint your feet blue, too. A real attention getter.

    I have a pair of the number one style in black and brown. You can't go wrong with Docs. They dress up fairly well and can pull off casual as needed. Bonus...they last forever.

    I think both are fine, it depends on you and how you look with them on your feet. The second pair kind remind me of school kids shoes. While, I think, the first pair seem quite masculine and chunky. Just go for both!
