Which Ones??- The Great Boot Dilemma

A new pair of boots are in my near future.Since finding that out, I have been able to narrow it down to two pairs, and...while I never do this...I am asking for your thoughts! Which ones do you like best?? I really can't decide. I like both, for different reasons.  While these will be worn in dirt, and while riding an actual horse...beyond that, they will be worn with dresses, skirts, summer fun outfits, skinny jeans, leggings....well, probably everyday. I have a tan pair from Target that I wear constantly, but they aren't "real" boots like these two pairs are.

A few things to note. I am tall, and I like a taller shaft.  Most standard cowboy boots have a 12 inch shaft, however, both these pairs are taller.  Also, note the heel height.

Ok, here they are!

This first pair is by Ariat. It has a 15 inch shaft, so would hit just below the knee. The heel height is
1 3/4 inch high.  While it has the traditional pointed toe of a cowboy boot, it is a snip toe, meaning the end is squared off, which I like.  Here's the info from the site-

Details

• 15" Tall Upper w/ Partial Inside Zipper
• Decorative Stitch & Embroidery on Foot & Top Collar
• Snip Toe

Description

The Sahara combines traditional western boot attributes with smooth styling to create a boot in a class all its own. Craftsmen started with a classic western foot foundation, with an X toe, Duratread outsole and scoured and distressed dress heel. The smooth foot and upper are constructed from full-grain leather. Decorative stitching and embroidery adorn the foot and top collar. The partial inside zipper provides a superb fit around the calf. Ariat’s ATS Footbed Technology delivers superior support, stability and comfort.

And...here's the second pair.  These are by Corral, another great boot company.  They have a 13 inch shaft, so 2 inches shorter on the leg than the above pair.  The heel is 2 1/8 inches high.  Also snip toe.

Here's the info from the site-

Lined with comfortable leather, these boots will mold to your feet as you wear them in. The 2 1/8" is perfect for any woman and the leather sole will have you dancing all night!

Both make me giddy and I can't wait to have either one!  I think I'm getting hung up because the top pair is more versatile and I'll be able wear them with anything, any look, anytime....while I really love the bottom pair because they are a great looking pair of cowboy boots.  If I were a boot, I would look like that pair of boots! They are me....as a boot.  Obviously, they are not as versatile as the top pair, but that would not prevent me from wearing them everywhere, even when its not appropriate to show up in cowboy boots. : )  Ok, the more I type the more I'm convinced I should get the bottom pair.

But I'd still love to hear your thoughts!!
