i have got them! in black. they are very comfy & slightly welly like (but i do have skinny legs - the one skinny part of me...) & i want it to be autumn now so i can wear them. so i think you should buy 'em (but i did get 20% off).

Really don't like them - sorry! La Redoute have a nice patent boot in rather more subtle shade of black or brown! Much cheaper at, well Ok not much - about £130, but you'd use a discount code and knock them down to £95.

Lol - I read the second pair as "please note, if you are a larger size you may wish to rethink this style"

Yeah, but you could get 3 for the price of the one pair from Boden! Plus DH would be made up!

Brown - they were nice boots. I didn't really feel I suited the shiny though.
