Cybil's 2010 Boot thread. You can stop pestering me now

[cybilliberty]

Ok I'm going to start with these, seen from a distance in London but I actually quite like them

Come on Corny, Su et all

ANY ONE INTERESTED IN BOOTS

nice

don't like flys or timberlands at all Am prob wrong side of 40!

I dont like Flys either. They are like Blakes 7 boots

Nodders I'd love to have a poke through your wardrobe, i bet you've got some lovely stuff

i dont liek flys

am back from pub.
i dont like shoes that turn up at the end liek some boots do

Agree about the turning up at the end thing...

Also don't like anything that looks like I might have worn it as a teenager or worse, that my teachers might have back then (hence my aversion to shoe boots!)

Also not keen on wedges or spindly heels. I didn't but any last year so really need some new ones this year and am determined to buy early while there is still a good choice...

Have had a huge clear out today as has ds as we are off to london 4 sept for night in hotel and shopping.Big bag for oxfam have kept all my faves though.Have many shoes and no clothes left!Kept all jeans and knitwear and coats.Dp is spending the day at a drum show and says we are to go to uniqlo and nowhere else .Ds has turned into a real fashion fiend

Why are you in the pub?

nodders you are always chucking stuff out. Hows about an MN bring and buy sale

Ha ha!I don't hang on to stuff that is worn out like h and m etc.I get v dirty doing up houses and have a lot a 'rags'.Am going to try and buy sensibly as have a bag of tat tbh but it did cost a fair bit and it seems a waste.I do like a clear out though and swap with a friend every few months.Am going to start using my mums kingston flat more so will track you down this winter

Ooh yes please! How exciting! (and daunting)

God not daunting at all I am v dull irl!

Oh I have a very glam image of you in my minds eye and if you don't match up to it I shant come

oh no!I am looking a treat today joggers flip flops brick dust in ears PLUS sent dp a text today saying I can't stop farting(see I'm lovely)and by accident sent it to my builder who can speak but not write english but he managed to text back Nice lady I ahve to neet him at 7 so am dreading it

Paha! (thats my new lol) Whats with the farts? too much bread?

Diet gone to pot and v busy on v stressful house and drinking so much costas!

OK - what do we think of duo ones

Hmm, they are almost right...heel maybe too high. Can't be doing with all the measuring and fannying around required for Duo

Oh no don't like the heel at all They look like the kind people wear with too short bootcut m and s jeans

Oh no - would wear with skinnies tucked in.

Do feel thats generally the problem with duo though - they're not exactly fashion forward.

However being munchkin-like I do require a bit of a heel - couple of inches really and also want mid-calf.

tracey i agree heel issue
duo ones v nice lookign in rl though
the fit makes a diff

i have military boots similar to these which i hardly wore last year, because I dont know what to wear with them

i dont do skinny jeans / trousers as I'm top heavy - makes me look like a lollipop

please advise oh boot experts

that is why boots aint working for you i think
those to be worn with slightly rolled up skinnoids imo

is there nothing else? I#m not prepared to get a boob job to get wear out of boots

they are lovely soft leather and have a furry lining [sob]

Kris ebay them. They won't work with any other type of trouser

Or tights and dresses really, unless you're going for the whole 1940's war widow look
