Nine West Maribu Ankle Boot vs Marc Fisher Leonna Pointed Toe Bootie

Both are pointed-toe block-heel ankle booties with side zips, so the choice comes down to fit and feel. The Nine West Maribu sits on a slightly taller 1.75-inch heel and comes in a leopard suede and pony-hair mix, which makes it the more statement pair. The Marc Fisher Leonna has a lower 1.5-inch heel, a leather insole and a taller 5 1/4-inch shaft, and owners tend to describe it as the more comfortable, everyday boot. Buy the Nine West for a bolder look; buy the Marc Fisher for a cleaner, more cushioned wear.

• Choose the Nine West Maribu if you want a leopard or pony-hair statement bootie with a bit more heel height and a wider size run down to 4.
• Choose the Marc Fisher Leonna if you want a plain leather or suede bootie with a leather insole, a lower heel and a taller shaft for daily wear.
