I want them. I never wear heels (already 5' 9") and I'm generally a comfort kind of woman. But, ooooh.....pretty......

These are strutting boots. Or possibly dominatrix boots. I would just pose in them. But I won't because I am not going to buy them. No.

I have been known to buy things like this, not be able to walk in them, and then sell them on ebay....

See, you're all missing the point. I need talking out of the boots. Sloggies has come the closest to giving a negative, but even then she appears to be saying that if I have difficulty walking in the pretty boots, I can flog them. So it all sounds a bit win win. Try harder. Tell me I'll look like an aging hooker in them. Or that my cankles will overfloweth.

No, the woman you sell them to on ebay will be a PITA, and you will wonder why you bothered.

OK.

OMG. They are vile. Disgusting. How will you do the school run in them? You won't be able to do up the zip (cankles) and they will be no good for your varicose veins. Be sensible and get a nice pair of comfy crocs instead.

I thought 'hooker' when I saw them, tbh.

An expensive one, mind. Perhaps one that, erm, 'specialises'? Is that the look you're after? Grin

I do not consider myself medically qualified, therefore cannot comment on your real or imagined cankles.

Although...crocs, Dr? You go too far, madam

Buy them they're pretty... if you can't walk in them, just wear them round the house?

Chickens Angry Now listen here: Step away from the lovely boots. They will not be comfortable and you probably don't need them. You could spend that £112 on something much more appropriate. Like, erm.....like...

Ok. Kurt Geiger are not worth the money IME. I had a pair once and only wore them about 5 times before they completely fell apart.

Ok this was because the bloody puppy got hold of them after dd1 had borrowed them from my cupboard but still ...

I'm sorry blondie. I have forced you to look at the pretty boots, and now you've had to buy them. I should have put a warning in the thread title
