Ordered a pair of rather expensive boots today. I want them for walking around NY next week, so I probably should have ordered them before now. But Zappo's promises delivery by Friday, and I've been debating for the past week or so whether to order the Børn boots (which I did order) or these super stylish Fluevog boots, which are only a bit more expensive, or to be fiscally responsible and not buy any boots at all.
After much waffling I decided that I really do need a new pair of boots, and that the Børns will be more comfortable and more versatile than the Fluevogs. I'm not crazy about the look of the Børns, but at least they don't look like riding boots. And they won't make my feet hurt during a whole day of walking around the city, which is important. What I really want is boots that are as stylish as Fluevogs and as comfortable as Børns. Unfortunately I don't think that exists. Which I have to say, really irks me. It can't be that hard to make shoes that look nice and don't kill your feet.
Now that I finally made up my mind to order the boots, I hope they arrive in time for the trip!

yay! i'm glad you got them, and i'm sure you won't regret it.
i actually think that fluevogs are amazingly comfortable for how stylish they are, and that borns are amazingly stylish for how comfortable they are. but sadly, there are just fewer options when it comes to boots as compared to shoes, so super high style and super high comfort are less likely to be found in a single boot.
those borns are going to be perfect for NY, they will protect you from all elements and look faboo.
It was the NY trip that finally convinced me to buy the Borns. If I hadn't bought boots I would have worn my Born mary janes, but it's going to be way too cold for that. They're not even that expensive once I realized that the lower priced boots are all mostly synthetic. Under $200 is reasonable for tall leather boots.
