83/100....I've made too many costumes
Edit:
Opinions needed! I'm looking for Alexiel boots..and lord help me if I can't get them here in time..but I've basically narrowed it down to 2 pairs. I still have to make boot covers obviously since one boot is supposed to be longer then the other..but I can't decide which boot I like better. I wanted a boot with a little bit of a heal, which one doesn't have, but I really like them anyway...and they are shiny which kind of matches the fabric I have to use to make the covers. but anyway..
which one do you all like or think I will have the least trouble making into the boots I need?

I can't tell if I like #1 because I think they will work..or just because I want them XD ugg..I hate making boot covers but I'll have to do it anyway since the boot is supposed to come up over the knee.
