ASDA boots - bargainous, but are they nice?

[Vizzini]

I've just picked these up in ASDA (only went for milk). Mine aren't black though, they're chocolate brown.
They're leather, comfy and fit well but I'm having second thoughts as they're from ASDA. I'm wondering how good they can actually be for £38?! Should I keep them or return them? I'm leaning towards keep but I can be persuaded otherwise!

Viz - can't go wrong for that price imo. hth

[vinegarpuss]

what's not to like! :)

[Vizzini]

I know! If it's wrong I don't want to be right but what if they fall to bits?!

[meltedchocolate]

they will last you through the winter. Then you will be looking for summer shoes/boots again anyway . If you get them can you tell me how they fit on the calf? I have sticks for legs and don't want to look like I am in wellies.

[BikeRunSki]

They are fab, I feel a trip to Asda coming on.

[trixymalixy]

Bargain. For that price I thought they couldn't be leather but they are!!

Tbh the quality would probably be similar elsewhere except at least double the price if not triple.

[Greenrabbit]

I would keep them, they are a bargain!
Do Asda still do their 100 day guarantee? If they do, you can't go wrong. You'll get lots of time to see if they fall to bits.

[Greenrabbit]

I've just checked and it excludes footwear. :(

[WhoWhoWhoWho]

Keep them OP, I reckon they will last just as well as an £80 pair of boots TBH.

I would also like to ask how they fit on the calf area, but for the opposite reason to meltedchocolate .

[moondog]

Look great.
My friend has a pair of brown leather Tesco boots which are a similar price and they are v stylish.

[Thehusbandsatcricketagain]

I see an invasion to asda at the weekend by all mn who want bargain boots that look just as good as any twice the price.........fortunately I am at work all weekend otherwise I would be off to buy a pair then have dh roll his eyes at me as if to say another pair really ???

[LDNmummy]

Gah! I want the brown one's but they are sold out in my size in both colours.

Ah, me and my big feet

[Ineedacleaneriamalazyslattern]

I got a pair of these last year and tbh they are pretty great. Haven't fallen apart and really comfy.

[LDNmummy]

Ah yes, lets not forget my skinny calves, anyone know if they would work for someone with chicken legs

[Vizzini]

Well I have reasonably thin calves (but not skinny) and they don't look massive on me. They have a little elasticated bit at the back (not noticable) so could possibly work on larger calves too.
I keep trying them on and I like them more each time I do. I showed DM and she refused to believe they were from ASDA, so that's a good sign I think. I'm going to keep them - I could pay twice as much and the quality could still be poor.
I'd definitely check your stores if they don't have your size as my local store had a good range of sizes in the brown (half sizes too).

[borntoberiled]

I have them and they are great.

[vanillagorilla]

you can order them online and collect from your local store for free too...although only showing sizes 6,6.5 and 7 at the moment.....

[vanillagorilla]

in the black, only 6.5 in the brown.

[MissVerinder]

yay yay yay, I got these, they are fab and soooo comfy. I have sausage legs and they fit lovely. I would say they are quite big in the foot- I went a 1/2 size down from my usual size and for boots I normally go up a full size from normal to get my monster sausage legs athletic calves in!

I say KEEP THEM!!!!!

[piratecat]

bah, totally sold out

[UnrequitedSkink]

Trip to Asda in the offing but gah - DH has the car tomorrow ALL DAY! I really really like them.

[nbee84]

I've just ordered the brown ones in size 5 - had them in stock for me.

[nbee84]

The brown boots are back in stock :-)
