Not bad but just a tiny bit too chunky for me.

I love everything about them except the side profile as the heel protrudes a bit too much, making the boot look clunky (and I like chunky heels myself).

I agree with notcontent sorry - they are a bit chunky and maybe a bit blokey but certainly wouldn't pay £125 - ok I may be a cheapskate but places like Tesco have similar but if you love them get them, if I liked something that other people didn't, I'd still wear it/them. x

I love the boots, but not the heels. They look like they've just been put on as an after thought.

I think they are nice.

I have some Dune boots that are calf height with the same kind of heel almost and they look much better in the flesh. I think the price is reasonable- I paid almost that for mine which are just like high ankle boots.

Yes, exactly, there is something slightly out of proportion about the heel.

Yes I agree, it's the heel Sad

I can only buy 1 pair of boots, I like chunky, not too high

I'll keep looking, what a PITA

I think the boots (both pairs) are so lovely, I'd buy them even though i don't like the heel.

I did have issues with the heels but when they are on with skinnies etc they look ok imo.

The thick sole balances it a bit but I do agree they are slightly odd!

I have knee boots too so these for me are more ankle boots.

I don't like skinny jeans so boots that work with tights and skirts would be good

Love them although my bank balance would not be so keen Sad

They are, I have had lots of compliments on them, super cmfyr, I walk a good two hours a day for school run and they are great. OK have to go over a field so needed something sturdy and weather proof. I have got them covered in mud and you just brush out off when it does and they look good as new.

Very happy with them and think they are very rreasoanbly priced as they are very good quality :)

I have been recomendig them to everyone!

Very odd heel - it makes them look cheap - sorry !

I don't like the heel. Generally dissed on MN I think, but I love Fly boots and last winter had a pair really similar to your link but flat. They were great. If wearing with tights, watch out for zip snag on the inner calf, mighty annoying.

Iore, Caterpillar boots are usually chunky and comfy but better looking than those Dune ones.
