I am going to start with the Evan boots, i got these in a size 6 and they cost me £44 (student discount from onestopplus)
They are a really nice fit, the back has a stretch panel which means these boots even accommodate my large calves. They have a buckle detail and a little gold loop nearer the top. A good size heeled too, just perfect for this type of boot. They are soft and supple and won't stand up on their own, they are a bit baggy around my ankles but I think that will always happen as I have quite small ankles. They give a very close fit meaning there isn't really much of a gap between the boot and my leggings so you might struggle if you had thick jeans on. For the price I think these are amazing!
The Simply Be boot, I got this is in a size 6 and they were £75. These arrived in a lovely box and the quality is amazing, real leather with a pattern on them, they are rigid and will stand up on their own and they feel so soft to touch, I was really excited by them. Fit wise, they fit like a dream, because they more rigid they don't bag around my ankles as much. There is a bit of room at the top so not as fitted as the Evans ones but i like that, means I could wear them with jeans. I did wonder if I needed to size down to a 5 as they seemed a bit big but with my thicker socks on they are fine and I would rather a bit of room than be too tight. I love the two colour, it makes them really striking, they are very riding boot like, especially with the metal bar, these boots just scream quality and will the £75 price tag is a bit steep, they really are worth it.
When i first bought these boots it was my intention to only keep one pair and as the Evan's boots were cheaper i thought they would be the ones I would keep, however i was so impressed with the Simply Be boots that i have decided to keep both as I see them as a investment for this Winter and next. They are different enough to also justify this.
Where do you buy your boots from?
