Which of these two boots are more versatile in terms on styling?
I have recently been eyeing two boots that I find very, very good in terms of the look. One being an Alexander McQueen Cuban Stack Leather Boot and a Givenchy Texas Chelsea Boots. My wardrobe is very much monochromatic and my two most worn jackets are a military bomber jacket and a black jean jacket (boxy, cropped type of look). I love both boots and understand each of their pros and cons with the texas boots being really just western boots with the whole pointy look and the McQueen boots being more fashion forward compared to the traditional look of the Givenchy boots

Hi @DVNO! For better answers, include:
- Reference pictures
- Budget in numbers
- Specific measurements
- Openness to buying secondhand and/or online
- Location: country/continent is fine
- Timing/urgency
what I am really looking for at this point is a noticable heel in the back since the boots I have dont really have any noticable ones
Both are equally versatile depending on how you want to dress. Tbh versatility is such a boring way to compare something. I'm assuming you want versatility because they're both expensive and you can only get one and you want to wear it a lot. You can wear either of these as much or little as you please. If they were hot pink leopard print they might be harder to style, but they are both black boots.
They are so different in shape that they aren't super comparable (one reads big and plain, the other reads smaller and pointy). The round toe ones look like worse OL camions tbh. If you opt for those just go with a camion imo unless you're trying to go for something intentionally plain.
Instead, compare them for the vibes they give and what vibe you want to give, brother.
Thank you for the insight, I guess it’s just a culture thing cause pointy shoes are like synonymous with like business and formality where I’m from and not so much like fashion
Also with the western boots I just have this feeling of it being tacky and leaning towards a costumy look but idk it’s just a feeling
Also I just looked up the Camion boot and they actually rlly rlly good, do I have any similar suggestions? If only the back heel was slightly taller I would choose those
Scroll through black leather boots on ssense
If you want more options
Officine generale
Marsèll
Guidi
are all pretty boot options
Theres a million good boots out there though
Thank you 🙏
Holy crap u are right there are more boots on SSENSE that I like
Sadly I cant get them brand new but thanks still
Ebay and grailed + waiting for ages about to be your best friend to get cheaper boots that you want
Yeah I was already in that eBay and second hand shops grind that’s how I found both boots to begin with 😭
Good answer
I don't really like the elastic panel on the givenchy boots considering the western construction. If you wanted something like that I'd go for something with a zipper instead. Story et Fall is a good option for that kind of boot.
