I am so totally and utterly in love! Even the fact that my team got beat by poor mans team of North London, doesn't matter to me now, they are just amazing!

I nearly knocked on next door, just to show her! Grin

Here they are. I know, lots of money, but I won't buy anymore for a couple of years at least and frankly, I'm worth it! Grin

They're not nearly that dark brown. Much, much lighter.

Those are bloody gorgeous boots. A bit Elizabethan serving-wench, but in a good way. I really like them.

fatoftheland · 20/11/2010 18:53

They are lovely!

I have been eyeing up a pair for the same price in there today. Have given myself tonight to think about it then I may get them tomorrow!

They are a lot of money but they last for a couple of years so totally worth it and they are really comfy.

(go on, knock. You know you really want to!)

ItalianLady · 20/11/2010 18:53

Actually £85 for knee high boots is pretty reasonable. They are very nice.

5DollarShake · 20/11/2010 18:54

They are gorgeous!! And I would say bargainous at £85!!

SuePurblybiltByElves · 20/11/2010 18:55

They are not my style but I get your vibe Grin I have a pair that I watched reduce in price and eventually spent £50 on (madness for me) and love them so much that two years later I have had re-soled them twice, wear them all the time and still get comments on their loveliness.
Enjoy your fabulous boots Smile

BendyBob · 20/11/2010 18:59

They are lovely! Do they have a side zip? I can't tell from the piccy.

MaureenMLove · 20/11/2010 19:00

I bought them on the knock, but because I get paid 2 weeks apart from DH, I'll pay them off in the same month!

I haven't actually told him that bit yet, but hey, he's away for the weekend! He's left me and he wasn't here in my moment of need, when Arsenal lost, so a small price to pay I feel! Grin

I love a good pair of brown boots - and those ones are definitely worth the love.

Enjoy them - you're making me very jealous!

Bumperlicious · 20/11/2010 19:02

Love them!

MaureenMLove · 20/11/2010 19:02

They've got a zippy bit, just at the ankle to get them on.

I really like them. Next have some very nice boots this year. I had my eye on a flat pair of girls boots but they sold out Sad

SuePurblybiltByElves · 20/11/2010 19:07

Blimey, apologies for "have had resoled them". Not even English.

MaureenMLove · 20/11/2010 19:08

I find Next shoes and boots really comfy.

They're not really comfy tonight though, but that could be because I have stood in Sainsburys, bag packing for 8 hours today!

Gorgeous Boots Maureen, My Gran bought me some similar ones before she died and I love them to pieces.

Kbear · 20/11/2010 19:21

MaureenMLove · 20/11/2010 19:23

OK! Don't need to ask me twice! I'll be down at 11!

(Going to see HP with SIL in the afternoon, but I'm sure I can fit in coffee prior to that!)

Small set back my dear, small set back! We will be there in the next round in Europe, will you?? WinkGrin

I am so dreading work on Monday! I gave the Head of Maths, so much shit on Friday!! BlushGrin

They're lovely....they remind me of my Grandma's 1920s boots with hook and eyes up the front.Grin
Seriously,i really wanted her boots in the 70s when i saw my Mum's photos.
Only difference is the heels,Grandmas were higherlower.Smile

Pan · 20/11/2010 19:37

nice boots. Women always look good in boots - one of the few benefits of winter time!

Shame about the Arsenal throwing away a two goal advantage at home. Focus and determination - why Utd will win the league again and Arsenal will fade into 'also rans'. Again.Grin

Kbear · 20/11/2010 19:39

I shall look forward to it. I am taking the Brownies to the theatre in the afternoon (oh joy) so 11 is perfick. I shall bake chocolates brownies in readiness (can you see a theme here?).

MaureenMLove · 20/11/2010 19:44

Ah Pan - my fellow Gooner I believe. The good old days are struggling to shine through, eh?

I'm liking the brownie link Kbear. I will be there at 11 on-the-dot! I don't like being late! Wink

I'm meeting SIL at 2.10, so if I get there at 4pm, I'll still be early!! Grin

Right, I'm off to test drive the boots! Seeya!
