Are these old lady boots?

[sortingmyselfoutslowly]

I need some ankle boots... not keen on chelsea style as I have one pair already. I'm mid thirties. These look comfy but are they old looking?

[ems137]

I think they look more like children’s boots if I’m honest.

[sortingmyselfoutslowly]

That could work for me as I'm 5 ft 1 and size 8... I like wearing cord skirts and pinafores!

[hendricksyousay]

Dear god yes !! Step away ! 🙈🙈

[BadTasteFlump]

Hmm I'm not keen, they definitely have a bit of the elderly look about them - sorry!

Do you like Biker Boots? I live in mine. I have the traditional black leather style and also some brown ones that give them a bit of a 'softer' look.

[NotNowBernard1]

Oh Wtf do you mean by "old lady boots"?

[fairylightseverywhere]

Yes, I'm afraid so.

[sortingmyselfoutslowly]

I don't know really. Do they look unfashionable is what I'm asking... not that I follow fashion religiously!

[BadTasteFlump]

Um I think she means 'boots that an elderly woman would wear'...

[Floisme]

It usually means hideous but good enough for old people.

[AnnabelleLecter]

I think they're really odd looking. Nay from me.

[BadTasteFlump]

Floisme I don't take it that way - I imagine something very sturdy, comfortable and easy to walk in, so probably comfort over style. Having said that, I imagine most elderly people would find my biker boots very comfortable

[Fairylea]

Oh my gosh sorry but those are hideous

Go for a plain Chelsea ankle boot if you want something low and ankle height. Loads of them on Next, Clark’s, New look and asos.

It’s the Velcro and the flower thing that really doesn’t help.

[hungryradish]

Unfortunately I will have to agree with other posters. There are much nicer boots about!

[sortingmyselfoutslowly]

Thanks for your honesty

[RubbishMantra]

They do have a rather orthopedic look about them. Clarks have loads of decent ankle boots if comfort is your main priority.

[Fragglewump]

Depends if you are 75 and calling 98 year olds elderly. They aren’t very cool.

[blueskyinmarch]

Blimey I am 55 and think they are hideous. My 77 year old DM would like them.

[allmycats]

My granny died over 20 years ago at the age of 90 and she would have said they were too old for her. !!!!!

[Fragglewump]

Just been discussing this with teen daughter and she said a very hippy friend of ours would wear them. I’m shocked you are mid thirties........which shop are they from.....I have seen similar in Germany......

[usernamerequired67]

My mum has a pair ......,.. she’s 83

[CakeNinja]

Is that a starfish on the side?!
Sorry, it's a no from me

[Candlelight234]

I'm sure my mid 70's mother would reject those for being 'for old people'

[Ginkypig]

Yep I'm sorry to tell you.

I am not a follower of fashion either but they would be a step too close for me..

[Ginkypig]

Saying that though I'd never judge anyone else's choice of clothes so if you like them then bloody well wear them!
