Hi
My friend needs a pair of boots.I said I would buy them for her as a christmas present.I have seen two that fit my budget.
Which out of the two would make a nice gift?I thought give her a pair of boots she could wear with anything and don't look tacky.
Thankyou in advance.

I prefer the second ones - where are they from?

hlc123 · 07/12/2022 14:38

Love the first ones

urbanbuddha · 07/12/2022 14:41

I like the first ones - the eyelets give them a bit of spark.

I prefer the first ones but that may just be the styling with the jeans. Won't your friend want to try them on?

girlmom21 · 07/12/2022 14:45

I prefer the 1st ones

travailtotravel · 07/12/2022 14:50

Honestly, I'd ask your friend who has to wear them. Or give them to her with the receipt so that she can send them back if they don't fit, or work with her outfits if you would like them to be a surprise.
Its a lovely idea but a bit high risk!

First ones.

DuchessOfSausage · 07/12/2022 14:56

The styling is better on the first ones, but both are nice.
The uppers of the 2nd are better but I prefer the soles of the first.

WafflesOrIceCream · 07/12/2022 15:01

Thankyou.I will ask for a gift receipt.x@savvy7 The 2nd ones are from H&M

The first ones I think. There’s something off about the second ones, maybe the proportions, but hard to tell from the photo. Agree try and get a gift receipt either way!

DuchessOfSausage · 07/12/2022 15:02

Where are the 1st pair from, please?

mondaytosunday · 07/12/2022 15:03

Second, but really she needs to try them on!

BestSelfBlah · 07/12/2022 15:06

The second ones look more expensive, the first look more high street imo.

AriettyHomily · 07/12/2022 15:54

What's her style? The second ones look like copy cat dms. Does she want dms, can you contribute instead of buying outright? It seems like an odd flight tbh.

@DuchessOfSausage The first pair are from New Look

2nd ones.

DuchessOfSausage · 07/12/2022 19:17

Thanks Waffles, I had a feeling they might be. NL often has some gems.
