Really want these boots!

[BarkingUpTheWrongTree]

these but cheaper! I love love them but they're about a hundred quid too much

I have to confess...

I was daydreaming about BarkingUpTheWrongTree's boots on my way to work today !

Told you those boots would haunt you
Just about to check all those out! Have been on the phone all evening neglecting mnet

I'm quite liking most of those boots linked, -have been busy bookmarking so I can go back & compare!
Can't help but keep looking back at those first ones though...[hankering emot]

I want the boots the OP mentioned, have decided they will make every autumn /winter outfit I have, therefore on a cost per wear basis, are cheap....

I have to admit to being clueless when it comes to putting a good look together, although I do love the OP's most wanted boots. Help me out a bit by telling me what you'd wear them with?

Um, skinny(ish) jeans? which is my daily staple, though I do believe you could wear them with skirts or dresses
If anyone here buys them do report back on how gorgeous they are in RL!

i'm thinking dresses /skirts with thick cable tights..... short skirt and long cardigan. Sigh.

Went to M&S yesterday and there were several variations on the ankle boot with straps/detailing and small heel from £35. HTH

Thanks Wingandprayer, I'll check out M&S, I did see some boots in there a while ago that I quite liked so I'll have another look.

Thanks for your advice.

Are these any good?

What about these?

Thanks for all the suggestions, I guess I've learnt from this that I really want leather, with a small heel, but I've got quite a few to peruse now so thanks again to everyone who replied

Just wondered if you'd looked at the Barratts website here ? They have tonnes of boots, mostly pretty cheap. A few similar to those pirate ones :) You can get quidco too if I remember rightly

I've got to admit to having a little hyperventilate when I started looking through the Barratts website there Saltcod It had never occurred to me to look at Barratts but its great, thanks

Lol... glad you enjoyed yourself. It was all I could do to stop myself buying a pair of black biker boots from there. Have far too many boots. But still lusting after that Aldo pair. Maybe Christmas....

Saw ones like those in Primark Oxford St

These are on ebay for £60, what size are you?

here

Sadly the ebay ones would be too big, they're definitely along the right lines though!
I bet the Primark ones weren't 160quid either!

Having drooled over OP's boots for 2 days DH announced that he liked them too and bought them for me . Suspect is for hateful landmark birthday approaching... BUT that doesn't matter cos boots arrived today and I still love them. I'm a recent convert to skinnyISH jeans and they look really well with them (despite my less than lovely fogure) and I reckon you're right- cable tights and tunics etc should be good too. Now my only concern is that I'll be considered to be mutton...

Hmmm. Fogure is about right but I did mean figure...

(Hyperventilate) what colour did you go for? I bet they're gorgeous! I'm V and for you too!

BTW I bet they look great and not at all muttony. I think they're perfect for adding a flourish of fashion for us, lets say seasoned fashionistas! (I'm approaching a landmark birthday too) actually great present idea...

Thank you! Got the stone ones which are much greyer (is that a word?) than the photo.Reckon it's a good thing as makes them more neutral than the tan ie can wear with black trousers and dark jeans. Saying that, couldn't find tan on internet anywhere. Am v v pleased with them. Now I've broken out surely someone else can get them for Christmas/ birthday etc and I won't have to feel guilty and overdressed as I skip through my glamorous life of weaning (DS) and Balamory addiction(DD). Huh.

Seasoned- definitely
Fashionista- definitely not
Now that I'm emerging from murk of new baby confusion I'm determined to make more effort with my appearance. Also think might be reacting to birthday- don't want to give up! Thank you for discovering the boots
