What boots it to repeat?

A year on from this post, and I still don’t have any brown boots.

So it is time to seize the day by the scruff of its neck, and buy some boots.

So do I buy the boots I liked last year and still like with the buttons*, or the boots in really lovely burnished tan with buckles?

I'll aim to keep them for at least five years. Hmm. Does that answer the question?

*Available locally for £150, not £185, or there would be no contest!

Have you tried them both on? Which ones made you feel amazing? Or, alternatively, which ones would Harriet Vane wear?

Ah, the ever reliable Harriet Vane test. I usually use it for buying hats... So glad it isn't only me.

No, not just you...

I have tried both on - but not, and I think this may be crucial, both in the same shop at the same time. If one pair didn't fit, or I hadn't seen it, I'd have happily bought the other, but (un)fortunately, both do fit and look great!

I am not sure if either is quite sensible enough a pair of brogues for Harriet Vane.

In that case, I think you should definitely go for the buttons. There will always be other pairs of boots with buckles, but those buttons must be bought and appreciated now!
