Which is better for work and office wear?

The Michael Kors Nalia. Its kitten heel and zip closure suit dressier outfits, and it costs $129 at ShopSimon as of November 6.

Which is better for winter?

The Dr Martens Zebzag Rigger. It has a leather upper, shearling and fur lining, and is rated for winter, at $130 at Poshmark as of November 6.

The Zebzag Rigger is the safer bet. Genuine leather and a rubber rigger sole usually outlast a polyester upper, though the Nalia's heel is the wear point to watch.

Is the Dr Martens worth the extra dollar?

Yes if you want leather, shearling and all-season wear. The gap is $1 at current best prices, so the choice is about use, not cost.

Which is easier to walk in?

The Nalia's kitten heel is low and simple to walk in. The Zebzag is flat and cushioned but heavier and bulkier.

Do both come in medium width?

Yes. Both are listed in medium width for women.
