Word in the blogosphere (and the print world as well - check this month's issue of ELLE!) is that ankle boots are hot for fall. I mean, they never really went out of style in my book. Nonetheless, I've been hardcore crushing on Nine West's Iceage Booties lately, they're the perfect balance of edgy and classy and go with just about anything. (Not a fan of the particular color shown, I'd obvi opt for black.)

However, I was just browsing Aldo's Web site when I came across these beauties, a total rip of YSL's version but gorgeous nonetheless. Less edgy and rocker chic than the Nine West version, but so timeless and with a killer stiletto.

No image of the Trib boot available on ShopStyle, but here's the slingback version so you get an idea of what I'm talking about. Similar, huh?

Only problem is, now I'm torn between the two. I previously had my heart set on the Nine West babies, but now that these have come into the picture... well, you know the story. I'd love some feedback on which ones you guys think I should go with - I'm still leaning towards the Nine Westies, they seem like they'd work better with every day outfits. And wouldn't you know, with my luck, they are EXACTLY the same price, to make the decision all the more difficult!
Hi! I am also liking the exact same pairs.. my advice is to get something that you think you can wear everyday.. that's how I decide when I'm stuck between two pairs of shoes that I like... With this I probably would go for the nine west one since it has a more stable heel than the aldo one..
