Freebird Women's Wyatt Boot vs Freebird Coal Taupe Boot

Both are Freebird knee-high leather boots with a 2.5-inch heel and a lace-up shaft, so the choice comes down to fit and styling. The Wyatt is a tall 15-inch lace-up with a side zipper, which makes it easier to get on and off. The Coal has a 17.5-inch shaft, a wooden block heel and back lacing, and comes in a wider size run. Owners of Freebird boots generally praise the leather and the distressed finish, but note that leather soles are slick on wet ground and the tall shafts fit best on average-to-slim calves.

• Choose the Wyatt if you want a side zipper for easy on and off and a slightly shorter tall shaft.
• Choose the Coal if you want a taller knee-high shaft, a wooden block heel and more size options.
