TED and Muffy :( AKA DUO

[pinkfrocks]

what's the verdict? As a VIP customer they are giving me 15% off. Think there is only 1 possible style in the whole collection.

[Jedi1]

I know it's their names and everything buy what an awful name for a boot shop. That's put me off before I've even looked...

[pinkfrocks]

and the default setting is euros. Just called them and no answer but see that you can change the currency bottom of each page. Cheapest is around £235. Guess it's cheaper to buy some calf padding or put on 5 st in weight.

It seems like a backward step - I can't find anything I like

[bluespitfire]

I was just going to start a thread about this.

Crikey the prices have gone up.
If the quality is the same as Duo was then it wouldn't be worth the cost IMO.

[Cat111]

In fairness I couldn't find anything I liked in last year's Duo collection having bought a new pair of boots from them every year for years - disappointing. If their sales were down the problem wasn't the name but the last collection. I quite like some of the new styles but they're definitely expensive - I'll be waiting for the sales. And Ted & Muffy sounds like a children's brand. The worst bit is that on the zip tag there is a T&M logo. I didn't mind it being Duo - although better unbranded - but not sure I can bring myself to advertise the fact I buy 'Ted & Muffy'

[Creatureofthenight]

It's a bit of a silly name. The prices have shot up.
There's one pair I like, but can't see myself shelling out £275 for a pair of boots.

[Mrsj70]

I'm really disappointed, one of the only places I get boots to fit but the new prices are extortionate! I can only hope the sale is amazing :(

[TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge]

The ink coloured suede ones with the side buttons up the side are cute, shame they're over the knee ones though. Can't see how the look from the front either

• suede buttons

I've already unsubscribed. All that fairy tale nonsense and emailing me everyday did my head in.

I think they've had their day. The high street is much better at catering for multiple fits now.

[CarpeJugulum]

Unsubscribed. Will have to do without again.
Expensive, fewer styles and a stupid name.

What a shame!

[FunHouseGrandPrix]

I am disappointed too. Looks like I will scouring eBay for second hand Duo Boots now instead. I agree the name sounds like a children's brand.

[KatyS36]

If the high street ups their game now there is a clear market hole unless you're at the far ends of the fit spectrum you may be better off
I'm only a bit bigger than average and there is plenty I can find on the high street now compared to a few years ago.

Fortunately I indulged in the sale last year and have some classic black boots that should last for a few years.

The quality would have to massively improve to justify those prices.

Can get over the name - didn't stop fat face!

Just had a look at Crispins website...my other shoe shop..and Stuart Weitzman boots are an eye watering £595.

[Petal02]

I'm really disappointed too. Duo was a life-saver for me. I'll be looking at //thebootmakers.com this autumn. OK so they're not much cheaper than Ted and Muffy, but at least they have a sensible name ......

[mrsdavidbowie]

Ooh petal they do different heights as well.
Wonder if their 9 is a proper 9.

[PerditaMcLeod]

Another disappointed Duo customer here

I was horrified at how much they have marked the prices up by. Shocking. I have a number of pairs of boots and shoes from Duo as I love them. Always had to buy during the sale as couldn't justify paying full price so there is absolutely no way I will be able to afford to buy from Ted & Muffy, even with my 'VIP' 15% discount!

[Alibabsandthe40Musketeers]

I can't believe they want £200 for ankle boots. Insane.

[Micropigatadisco]

Oh Why, Oh Why have they changed? Did another company buy them out or something? I haven't seen one pair of boots that will fit me with my tiny legs. I managed to nab a great pair when they very briefly did a trial of petite fit boots about 2 years ago, hopefully these will last as long as the 'half calf' style I bought from them 14 years ago (which are knee length on me)
The high street is not good for me - only caters for lovely long legs

[moggiesmum]

What a shame - - whoever thought of that name?? - - and all the fairy tale stuff!- Oooh no Duo - - we loved you as you were . . . . lower prices and a commercial distinct name. Clever marketing gone wrong - - -
