Review: Battle of the Booties

Likes: I love the silhouette of this bootie. The dip in the front definitely helps in not cutting off your legs. The quality is really nice and I think if it fit snug like it should, it would look amazing with bare legs and with tights.

Dislikes: Unfortunately size 5.5 is gigantic. My entire foot slips out when I take a step.  I can't wear socks because the dip in the front will show it. Price is a quite steep. 

Verdict: Return but would recommend (if you don't mind the price) for someone with size 5.5 and up.
Cole Haan Talia Bootie - size 5 (on sale and in brown)
Likes: The fit is perfect with no slippage or gap in the back. From what I could tell by walking around in my house, it's super comfortable. Quality is amazing and heel height is very nice. I can definitely wear to work with tights and make it look professional.

Dislikes: I wish it was more of a bootie silhouette but the more I look at it, I'm starting to love it.  Price is decent for Cole Haan's but still a bit expensive.

Verdict: Possibly keeping. 
Nine West Azzurro Bootie in chocolate- size 5 (on sale)
Likes: I love the rich brown color and the size 5's fit fairly nice. Price is decent for booties. The almond toe and heel height is what I was hoping for.

Dislikes: The ankle area is very roomy and the leather is pleather-y even though it's genuine leather. There's something else but I just can't put my finger on it. The shaft and silhouette is a no go for me.

Verdict: Return
Nine West Azzurro Bootie in black- size 5 (on sale)
Readers - what are your thoughts on all of these? Keep the Cole Haan's?
