these cloak boots are a classic. i own these and the suede and leather ones, but the suede and leather ones are a bit too tight for me now. imo, the leather version is far superior. sorry if this is a plug, but i am selling the suede leather version right now in classifieds if u are interested.

Guidi high back zips vs AnnD motorcycle boots
Help me decide:
Guidi high back zips or the AnnD motorcycle boots
the difference in cost is minimal - any info on the AnnD's irl is greatly appreciated.Comment

hard call - both are amazing. they are different boots though, Ann's are supersoft goatskin, if i remember correctly - awesome for slouching, but not as warm as guidis. I say ball and get both!Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Faust - you naughty man-
- getting both= hubby

I agree that there is warmth to the Guidi's and should I get them they would be a special order in donkey or calf in a dark grey or black.
Do you remember if the AnnD's were very supple?Comment

i have a pair of those ann d motorcycle boots from the old season. i've only worn them a few times since they're kind of big on me (someone hit me up if you have big feet and might be interested in them), but the upper leather on the older ones is thin and definitely very supple in that it's really just the straps that hold the leather up.
edit: here's a recent auction for a pair that has some fit pics

/\ was thinking to bid on those, but was priced out at the end (and they would probably be a tad small anyway). my only hope is collection blanche!
coco, have not seen these particular, but the ones from a year ago, which interest1 has (and which one day i will steal from her) were very supple. i like that, because you could bunch them down if you wanted.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

coccodrillo– I have essentially that same Ann boot and yeah, the leather is incredibly supple. So supple that the boot actually doesn't keep its shape on the leg. It's meant to slouch, so you'll have to fasten those buckles tourniquet-tight if you want them to remain high on the leg. And to be honest with you, even then they start slipping downward if you do any amount of walking.
I have issues with my left boot, which seems to always head south first. Might just be a fluke, dunno.
I own 2 pairs of Guidi's, one of which is back-zip. Love them to DEATH. These will be your every day boots. They'll be sturdy whether you go for calf or donkey (donkey is thicker, and I personally love the texture more than calf). I love all my Ann, but I'd put my money toward Guidi, hands-down.
If I might offer a suggestion: go with black. I love grey, but a lighter-colored shoe tends to visually shorten people. Unless you're over 5'9''. Then disregard.

I had no idea you were writing this as I was sitting here crafting my 2 cents-worth on the boot debate. Was wondering why my ears were starting to burn..Originally posted by Faust View Post

Interest1 - I'm 5'11" - and am debating between the black and a dark grey...
I recently purchased these in dark brown kangaroo and I love them.
You read my mind as far as wanting something that is perfect for everyday goes!
