Stuart Weitzman 50/50 Boots vs. Vince Camuto Karita Boots

Stuart Weitzman Over The Knee 50/50 (Black) vs. Vince Camuto 'Karita' Over the Knee Boot (Black)

Are Vince Camuto Karita boots a less expensive version of Stuart Weitzman's 50/50 boots???

I'm wearing a Vince Camuto boot on one leg and a 50/50 on the other leg. Can you tell which one is which??? I will tell you the answer and their differences at the end.

Can you tell? Haha, pretty hard, right? Ok, the answer is that the left one (on my right leg) is the Vince Camuto boot (the shorter one) and the right one (on my left leg) is the 50/50 (the taller one). They look so similar!!! I usually wear size 6 and ordered size 6 for both of them, and they fit perfectly!

Differences:

The calves with the 50/50 are more skinny than the other boots since the 50/50 are more tight on the top, and cover calves pretty well. (50/50: about 13" flexible circumference; Vince Camuto boots: about 14" circumference)

Both of them are over the knee, with the 50/50 being just a little bit taller. (50/50: 20.5" tall shaft; Vince Camuto boots: 21-1/2" height shaft)

Heel difference: 50/50: 1.75" heel; Vince Camuto: 1" stacked heel

The leather 50/50 is a little bit shinier and darker than the VC boots. The 50/50 leather is also smoother and softer. (Still pretty hard to tell this small difference)

There is a button on the top of each VC boot; 50/50 does not have any buttons.

Summary:

If you are looking for the Stuart Weitzmann 50/50 boots and want to pay $598 before tax (now it's $635), then go for it. 50/50 does a great job and makes your legs more narrow than any other boots. However, if you want a great deal (priced at about $150), but want to maintain the same quality, Vince Camuto is the best option! These boots are beautiful, soft, comfortable and classic! Basically, Vince Camuto Karita boots are just a less expensive version of Stuart Weitzman's 50/50 boots!

Where to Buy Them?
