I REALLY love your knotty one from your first pair. The latter pair are more last year ish, chunkier profile, squatter toe box. They are safer, I would choose the suede knotted again.
BUT I think your BV pair are much more modern for this and probably next season, lower profile at toe and soft puckers are very now; in fact a bit ahead of the curve. Much more AW26 shaping.
I’d say get those OP if you like them, the problem is they are a new style and design, not yet filtered through to on the High street hence the responses from PPs. I bet it was the same with barrel or balloon jeans (was for me, took ages for my eye to like them on others!). In shops at the mo it’s all chunkier still.
You’ll be laughing next spring when m&s and Next are packed to gunnels and these shoes are ubiquitous!
Which pair sing to you? Get those then! You are looking to spend a good wodge here, I’d personally want to be paying for leading design, edge, rather than something which looks like it came from many high st shops.
