Sheik, i would also go for the first....if you ask me why, i would say because of the nice curves, the smoothness look that they have. The second pair looks too rough, and they look really bad at the heel. Plus, the first pair looks more "simple" and elegant, while the second pair is too.....well, "complicated". I aint no shoe expert, but this is what i managed to see from the 2 pics.......i tap yo' back.
