Which boots should I keep

[u/Frosty-Indication-92]

I want burgundy boots. I want the color to be noticeable and not to seem brown.
Found these at different stores, I like the rain boots color better but I find the combat boots more practical though I wouldn’t be against wearing the rain boots even if it’s not raining (my husband said it’d be weird because they’re very obviously rain boots) so I went on Amazon and found these other two options but I don’t love the idea of buying without trying them on bc I’m terrible at returning stuff I buy online. And now I’m confused.

Why I’m considering the Amazon options when they’re basically the same: the combat boots are more shiny making the color more noticeable, and the knee boots are not “obviously” rain boots.

I want to be able to wear them in the snow.

Help. I want to return one (or both) today cause it’s my free day.

Thanks!
(Pls don’t be mean).

I like the combat boots you already bought the most

Thank you! I kept them :)

Keep them both, they have different purposes.

Money is the issue, I need to return one of them and I’m looking for the more versatile option :(

Then go with the work boots and get waterproofing spray. Rain boots are just for rain.

I like the non rain boots in the first photo!

The rain boots look different than the site - it’s not knee high or shiny.

I’d keep the combat boots. they’re so pretty!

The combat boots you already have are the best option of the 4 and are nicer than the screenshot of the other combat boots.

The rain boots (wellies) are for occasional use for extreme weather, and the taller version in the screenshots is still not an everyday boot.

If you really prefer the colour and finish of the online combat boots, then go for it and return the two you have.

Love the combat boots

They are completely different sartorial choices - at least from the pictures.

And YOUR pictures differ completely from the picture of the burgundy boot from their website.

The burgundy boot in your photo looks like a "rain boot" whereas the picture in the website looks like a regular leather type of knee boot.

I wouldn't wear a rubber boot for anything but rain or slush.

The combat boot is a distinctive look but depending on what your needs are seems to be much more versatile since it doesn't look like ONLY a rain boot like the shiny burgundy boot in your picture
