Oh I know I am, but I really really want them.
Winter is nearly over, I can't really afford it, but I have been hankering over them all winter, and they are reduced from £100 to £59.99.

Not my cup of tea but hey! It is still cold and you probably get two months wear out of them.

Ah well, I was about to say there's always a reason to justify new boots but in the case of these particular ones I'm not sure I could put a case.

But if you've hankered after them all winter and seeing as they are now so drastically reduced, I think it is only sensible to go and get them.

They will still be ok next winter too, but they wont be as cheap then. I say buy them!

There will always be another winter, and I suspect fitflop boots will stay around a few years so why not.

You do know the fit aspect of the wobble board only lasts around 6 months wear don't you.

After that they are just bootswith a foam and PVC sole, though v comfy ones.

macdoodle · 01/02/2011 23:07

hehe not helpful you lot, so I should buy them??

VC92 might get you another 15% off

GloriaSmut · 01/02/2011 23:09

Yes. It makes economic sense. Think of them as an investment.

Not my cup of tea, but if you want them and can afford them, then get them!

Honeydragon · 01/02/2011 23:20

Tried code no go with fit flops

I bought new boots - and they are the things which have given me most pleasure in months and months.

Go for it - and yours are a real bargain!

macdoodle · 02/02/2011 11:22

I've ordered them Grin

I bought two pairs of boots in the sales that I couldn't really afford but both were great reductions and I justified it too myself as I'll wear them for at least a few winters.

So I say, go for it!!

Oh, you already did!! :o

missismonky · 02/02/2011 12:24

Have you tried them on?

I have flitflop mules, which I love, and I thought I really wanted the boots but I tried them and they felt really odd. I was so disapponted.

Just a thought. Bargain if you do like them. Smile

missismonky · 02/02/2011 12:25

Oh, too late.
