Time for opinions!!

[kikotei]

I'm futzing with my costume for Otakon and I need some opinions. After poking through zappos.com I've narrowed it down to five boots that could work. But I need opinions. I'm wretchedly indecisive. ::mock weep::

Just to help, here are two of the better reference pictures I have that show Wolfram's boots.

Reference Pic 1 and Reference Pic 2

And here are the boots!

Diba 695 Camryn
Etienne Aigner Eldidge
Franco Sarto Equino
Me Too Lady
Steven Lanaa

Honestly I might not even buy from here. I'm hoping to hit some shops in NYC later this month.

Also, Sakka-chan, I think we should do Yuuri's oh so tacky Kingly drape. Wouldn't it be amusing to do the sword in the back scene from the episode with Elizabeth. ::grins::

That's a tough choice. Too bad some of the boots that are the right color have the buckles. Overall, I like Franco Sarto Equino best.

Actually, the buckles don't bother me so much. I figure it will be hard to find women's boots without some buckles and straps and such.

I like the Equino too, but I've also become increasingly fond of the Eldidge ones too. The D-rings would be very easy to remove. Although with the extra 1/4" on the heel makes it really feminine. ::grins::

The best of the batch are the Me Too boots -- you can always cut off the buckle-strap at top, though there is the problem of the remaining loop. But they're the closest in color and style (though the heel is a bit femme ^_~).

But I agree -- you should do some shopping in NYC before committing to anything. We've got plenty of time!

I like the Me Too ones too. Although, looking at them, it doesn't look like hacking off the strap would be too hard. Looks like the only place they connect to the boot is on the zipper.

Sadly I keep going back to the Etienne Aigner ones. I may be developing a case of boot lust. ::grins:: And with those the D-rings would be a snap to remove. However looking at them, I'm not sure if they would fit around my calves.
