Are these Mum boots? Pic attached

[DoubleDeClutchMuch]

just that really - can you give your opinion on them?
Thanks!

[wickedlazy]

This is still the only place I have ever known "mum boots" to be discussed

[Elfontheedge]

Eurgh!

[wickedlazy]

I couldn't wear them myself, because I have fat feet and they look quite narrow/ pointy toe boots always pinche me, but I think they're grand. Can't go far wrong with black leather and a basic silver zip? And heel looks like it would be easy to walk in.

I'm 23, so maybe it's when women hit a certain age they worry about "mum boots"?

[wickedlazy]

Why Eurgh? What's wrong with them? Genuinely

[Quickchangeup]

I really think it depends what you plan to wear them with!

[ivejusthadacake]

i wouldnt call them mum boots. they would look nice with skinny jeans and a nice shirt/blouse.

[Pinkvici22]

to me, yes! My mum would definitely wear them (she's pretty stylish for 65 though!)

[wickedlazy]

What about skinny jeans, a brightly coloured top and black leather jacket?

[Queenbean]

Yes. Sorry :)

[OneofTHOSEWomen]

Depends on how you wear them. They'll look pretty good with black skinnies cuffed above the boot.

[NickiFury]

Yes.

[Naicecuppatea]

I dunno, I think the pointy toe might just take them from mum boot territory.

[megletthesecond]

I think so. Sorry.

[MitzyLeFrouf]

The Kinks used to wear boots like that.

I think they'd look fine with the right outfit.

[Paddingtonthebear]

I'm not sure. The heel might make them a bit mum boot, but the zip and pointy toe might take them away from mum boot territory. I wouldn't say they were frumpy.

[Paddingtonthebear]

What's the opinion on these. Are they mum boots?

[OneofTHOSEWomen]

Compared to the ones at the top, yes. The pointy toe and block heel make the top ones look a bit more "now" the Carvela ones are a bit more classic.

[BumWad]

They're pretty ugly to be honest

[BlairWaldorfLovesShopping]

I don't think either of them are mum boots Worn with the right outfit, they would both look fine.

[DoubleDeClutchMuch]

thanks for feedback. I am 50 and wear them with black skinnies and long layered tops

yes I thought the pointy toe was the saving grace!

can anyone link to a pair of definitely NOT mumboots? does such a thing exist

[burnishedsilver]

The first ones look fine to me. They'd be mum boots worn with bootlegs and a fleece but put them with something trendier and they'd look good.

The mum boot thing is less about the boot and more about how you wear them.

[taybert]

I have yet to see a single pair of boots on here that someone, somewhere doesn't think are mum boots.

[Lovelilies2]

I'm a mum and I wear boots. Ugg boots

[wickedlazy]

I have a pair like this, wouldn't say they were mum boots?

The mum boot thing is less about the boot and more about how you wear them.

aha! I think this is the secret.

wickedlazy those are not mum boots definitely not, but I wouldn't wear them personally. My DD would though (stylish 19 yr old)
