    They first pair is the pair I was originally going to buy. They are cute and have really good reviews, but then I saw the 2nd pair! They're soo cute but they're 1/2'' taller with a platform so I'm afraid they might be uncomfortable. What do you think? Normally I would go with the less expensive shoe but there is only a $2 difference!

    I honestly like the first ones better! They're both super cute, but the first one has a cleaner look.

    I actually like the 2nd ones better...but both are super cute. I would wear the most comfortable ones.

    I agree with KMsull, the first pair looks cleaner.  But, I would go with the most comfortable.

    I like the first pair better as well, but both are cute. I think the back of the first ones is a little dressier than the sling-back style. But comfort is really soooooo important!

    I dunno, I'd probably order both, see which i liked best, then send back the ones i didn't want.

    I'm sure that doesn't help though!

    Haha I was thinking about that actually b/c they're from zappos so it's free shipping both ways!

    I like the first one better.  To me, they actually look a little more comfy than the second pair.

    i like the first ones A LOT better. they look more sophisticated, versatile, and comfortable, in addition to looking more expensive, considering they're the same price. the second ones have something off about them, imo, not to mention slingbacks can be REALLY annoying by slipping off when you're wearing them (and often nearly impossible to dance in).

    Order them both and send one back. You'll be more certain when you see them in person.

    I just ordered 5 pairs from Zappos, with plans to return all but one. Love their shipping flexibility!

    Both are really cute, but I like the first pair more than the second pair. I agree with others, that the first pair is cleaner and more sophisticated. But definitely order both and see which pair works better and return the other one. I love zappos!

    That first pair is hot. I'm also somewhat biased, in that I can't wear slingbacks. They fall off my heel every single time. However, if they're both Zappos, I would order them both and see which is more comfy.

    good point about the zappos: i can't say how many times i've ordered a million pairs and only kept one or two.  with free shipping both ways and REALLY quick return crediting, it's so worth it.

    didn't get the slingbacks, but they're my backup just in case I don't like the others :)

    They are both very cute.. and worse comes to worse you can always use those little gel insoles.

    I like the taller shoes (2nd ones) I love the bow. I thought platformed shoes were easier to walk in. Do you want that extra height?

    SECOND FOR SURE!!! They are too cute and I personally think, dressier and sexier!! And don't worry about the 1/2 in difference, from what I can tell, the second one has a platform at the toe so you will never notice the increase in heel.

    I would love the extra height! i'm only 5'2" and my fi is 6' but all the reviews said the 2nd pair were super uncomfortable to walk in :( So I got the 1st ones but if they don't work out I'm definitely going to order the ones with the bow and see how they feel for myself. Thanks girls :)

    First ones look a bit classier and more formal.  They're both nice though, but kind of a different look for each I think.

    I like the ones with the bow ... I am a sucker for shoes with bows.  I bought new wedding shoes just for that reason.
