Love both boots, hard to pic one, Id prob go with the first ones though. BTW, where did you get those jeans, I really like them and are what ive been looking for... desperately need skinny jeans! Hoping they weren't too expensive, need to find a cheap pair.

i'm a boot fanatic. it really depends on what you want to do with them, but i think 1 is a better bet if you're only going to keep one pair. it's more versatile and can be dressed up or down, plus i can vouch for the quality of j.crew boots.
i like the j.crew ones. i ordered them, but have to return them today because they are too big in the calf. . i'm going to try some other j.crew boots though. i must say, Lilykind, i have some that are 4 years old and going strong. i'll post a pic when i get a chance if you want. i love the quality of the j.crew boots and i'm glad that you found some that fit. when i saw that style poll topic about finding the perfect...i immediately thought of you and your boot problems. . deciding between two is not a bad problem to have AT ALL!!!.

I like the second ones best with jeans tucked in, but I think you should keep both, because you said you have trouble finding boots to fit your calves, and those both seem to fit.

I like #2 better with the jeans tucked in, it looks better proportioned. And I totally think you can do the jeans tucked into boots, just maybe with a blazer or chunky sweater, again for the proportions. Maybe keep both boots (bad, I know) but they really can go with different things, the J Crew are more sleek and would look great with skirts and under pants, the Bebe one with skirts and jeans tucked in.
I like #2, especially if you want to wear them over pants. Really though I think that each pair has it's own vibe and that with certain outfits one pair will definitely look better than the other. Maybe you could keep both?
i think that you should keep #2 if you want to do the jeans stuffed into boots looked. my mom saw those (looking over my shoulder) and she STRONGLY preferred them. She said they were more classic- go figure, i guess they remind her of growing up in the 70's I like them both and it would def. depend on what I needed them for. For fun i'd pick #2, for work at a conservative place, #1. Are they both comfy?
