Received boots - pictures of profile - do they look silly?

I have the mes ones (came today - £50 off ebay!!), and they are a bit wide on my leg. I think because I have long legs, they come up shorter on me than I thought they would....and because of that they are a bit wide.

I have taken side view and front view pictures (I love them from the front!)

What do you think? I know they will look fine with jeans tucked in, but I do want to wear then with dresses and skirts too.

they're nice, similar to some destroy ones i have that have always attracted complements (they're also quite wide on the leg, but it doesn't bother me at all, i think it balances out top half well).

personally i only wear them with skirts and def wouldn't wear them over jeans, though can't put my finger on why. imo mid calf length looks good with knee length or mini skirts, and i tend to wear them with brown or grey rather than black.

See, I am sooo anal about boots fitting round my leg, they would be too gappy for me. But I'm weird like that.

Thanks girls and LOL LTEC and a very kind thng for you to say

I will post a full length photo later after girls in bed and you can give honest opinion

Saying that I just wore them to go to the florists shop and they felt great on, very comfortable (was not good for driving though, hard to feel the pedals with the thick sole! Definately not some to wear for my driving test!)

Please don't post a full length pic. I will be compelled to look and in comparison will realise I look like a fat, old, short man who doesn't have gorgeous boots

oh dear. i think my sister needs those boots. I might need them (in pink though).

i think a knee length or over knee length skirt? possibly a bit flouncy to create cowgirl-esque vibe?.

Well today I have worn with:

black long sleeved T, ditsy floral shortish floaty dress, and long leggings.

I don't really have many knee length skirts (unless summery ones) and you see wearing skirts means I need to also wear a top. Whereas a dress is a whole outfit all in one! (and for getting me ready plus two littie girls, dresses are very convenient)

Anyway, I am glad you all think they don't look silly [yay!]

They look great, I've not see the red, I have the petrol colour. Definitely don't wear them for your driving test!

Gorgeous boots. I love red footwear. Defo keep them. Gaps can be cool anyway. No definitive rule that boots must be skin tight to look good.

Lovely boots

I have to agree with others, it's now obvious why those mums were snooty at the school gate - they are jealous, you are gorgeous and stylish and your little girls are adorable.
