If you were going to buy one very nice

pair of black heels to (hopefully) last for a long period of time, which would you choose? Peep toe or closed toe?

They are expensive & I want to be able to wear them for the next 50 years to get my money's worth (okay, 5? 10 yrs?)

I find peep toe to be much more comfortable, so I'm leaning in that direction. But, I definitely don't want them to be dated in a few years.

I like the peeps!

and there's no way you should e worried about wearing them in 5 years!

Peep.  For me at least.  But it's warm here about 9 mo. out of the year so I get more use out of peep toes.

Wow, those are HAWT!!

Love the peep toe - only thought... is the red in front "limiting" for what you could wear them with (obviously it's a "signature" part of the shoe, so it's an awesome, beautiful detail - but what happens if you want to wear the shoe with something where the red doesn't coordinate).  For the price you'd be paying, it's at least worth considering...  

Also, do you ever want to be able to wear hose with them?

Sooo pretty - really can't go wrong with either, and I'd think both are classic styles that should work years from now...

Oops -this is the wrong pic. The one I'm looking at doesn't actually have the red detail. Identical shoe, minus the red detail. I don't wear hose & don't plan to. Tights. . . ? Maybe, I guess.

Ooh, both gorgeous!  I like the peep toe better, but the closed toe does seem more classic and versatile.  I'm having a hard time imagining tights with the peep toe.

This.

Also thinking of Seattle weather (having grown up there), you'll probably get more mileage out of the closed toe, simply b/c of the drizzle/damp weather factor from Oct-June  

But the peep toe is soo pretty...  ok, I'm clearly no help. haa haa

I'd get both.  ;-)

Peeps

They're a timeless classic.  Plus, if they're CL's they will last FOREVER.

love them both-but I think if I was buying CL's I would get the closed toe (I live in a cold climate-more versatile for me) and definitely wear them for 50 years!

Closed toe.

I looooove the peep toe! BUT, if I wanted something versatile and long-lasting, I'd get the closed toe (to allow for hose/tights). I don't think you can go wrong with either if you're going hose-less almost all the time.
