here only one pair left. i really,, really want some brown boots to wear with dresses. I love the mini dress/thick tights/waistcoat look and i want some brown boots to wear with my lovely flattering brown tights. these are the perfect colour. i dont want to spend too much (we are v skint) but the heel worries me a bit. I am not v good on heels. pre-ds i lived in high heels, now its like watching bambi walk!

should i get them because i do really, really like them? or should i leave it?

MrsShriekTheScared · 29/10/2010 00:17

oooh, love em. they'll be fab with the look you describe.

brimfull · 29/10/2010 00:18

well they are seriously high
but I do quite like them

lissieloucifer · 29/10/2010 00:21

they are the right colour, ive had real difficulty finding brown boots in the right colour, they are all either too red, too yellow or too pooey.

I like 'em.

Go for it [hsmile]

childrenofthecornsilk · 29/10/2010 09:43

sorry me no like

OooeeeoooeeeoooeeEthel · 29/10/2010 09:46

Yes. Get them. at that price they're a bargain. And if you hate them when you get them, stick them back on ebay! [hsmile]

The other two: dont like the first, like the second. Get them as well. [hgrin]

Hell, get them all, resell the ones you dont want.

lissieloucifer · 29/10/2010 10:09

First pair def too high if you can't walk well in high heels, 2nd pair nice but bit pricey for synthetic boots, 3rd & 4th pair look cheap (sorry).

notinmypocket · 29/10/2010 14:10

Really don't like the orignal link ones and not too keen on the 1st ebay link.
2nd ebay link are fine and as very cheap - go and get 'em!
Last link if you like the cowboy boots style they're fine but just not my cup of tea

OooeeeoooeeeoooeeEthel · 29/10/2010 15:08

How about these shoe boots would look great with skirt/dress & tights. Got a heel but not too frightening. Very on-trend.

lissieloucifer · 29/10/2010 15:44

ah, i like the length on the 4th pair, tis v flattering on my leg shape. i have v skinny ankles and lower calf and quite bowed calves so i really really need mid height boots.

these?

OP posts:
lissieloucifer · 30/10/2010 16:18

ohh

OP posts:
lissieloucifer · 30/10/2010 16:20

right, i really, really like the last two.

OP posts:
OooeeeoooeeeoooeeEthel · 30/10/2010 18:37

Actually really like both of those, thinking about them for me now. Thought you were after mid-calf? These look taller to me.

lissieloucifer · 30/10/2010 18:46

i was initially, but tried on a lovely pair of knee highs today and provided the boot is quite straight im ok

OP posts:
OooeeeoooeeeoooeeEthel · 30/10/2010 19:28

Well the first one of the last two is a bit slouchy so I would go for the second pair.

lissieloucifer · 30/10/2010 19:33

see, im leaning toward the first, think they will suit the "look" that im aiming for better. and slouchy will hide my bandy legs nicely!

OP posts:
OooeeeoooeeeoooeeEthel · 30/10/2010 20:03

Right well I've had a good close look a both pairs and I definitely prefer the straight style so I may gave to go and get them now- bang goes the spare cash this month!
Get the slouchy ones if you like them. You can always send them back. Smile
