5'5, size 10 (ok 10-12 at the minute, but I'm working on it). I'm usually in skinny jeans and stripy top/scarf (but love dressing up when I go out). Think they might be a bit OTT for school run? But I love em!

You are absolutely not too old for these. You are too young for Foot Glove.

Not OTT for school run around here. If you love them, buy them. You are not too old for them at all.

Um, are they not a bit, well, (whispers) Dolly Parton?
But I am someone who lives in DMs and left my style sense at the door of 1999.

No you are not too old.

If they are good enough for Dolly then they are good enough for you. (lol at HarrietS).

No! They're great - you will rock them. Go for it (also a fine bargain).

Wtf? How can you be "too old" at 37? They're just a run-of-the-mill pair of boots. :( I find it very depressing the British psyche wishes to pack you off to the Edinburgh Woolen Mill the day you turn 32.

Do you usually shop at Per Una?

Fwiw, I'm older than you, fatter and shorter (quite the catch eh? Wink) - and my shoes are far more ridiculous. I like the type of shoe you need to remove before walking on cobbles - and as I live in medieval mainland europe this is a frequent occurence.

You aren't too old but sorry :) don't like- they are a bit 'western' as someone else said. But if YOU like them go ahead!

DEF not a Per Una wearer thank you very much! I know they're normal boots, I've been after a short pair with stacked heels for ages...but they have spiky studs! And fringe!

But you've convinced me, so thanks :)

Where I come from they would say YEE-HAW. So they aren't for me but you know what if you like them buy them. Embrace them and make them your own. You are not to old. Wear them with a big smile and be happy. Life is too short to not wear what you like.

You are so not too old for these - but also don't team them with a fringed leather jacket and stonewashed jeans.

You asked the question and I was about to get ready to say, if you have to ask, then you are too old for them!

I clicked on the link and was really surprised! I love them, def not too old!!
