my dad thinks my new boots are 'orrible

[southeastastra]

\link{http://www.clarks.co.uk/find/product-is-20340918\here} they're comfy and only practical. do you agree with him? i found it quite odd that he told me really and am a bit peeved.

No, they're not horrible - they're the sort of boots which I wouldn't expect to generate any sort of comment at all.

But since when are dads arbiters of style?

I've seen worse

I thought "dressed up like a dog's dinner' was a compliment until adolescence thanks to my dad

I wouldn't worry.

They are really inoffensive, I can't see what the problem is.

My Dad always used to use the classic line " You're not going out dressed like that/wearing those are you?" whilst looking horrified. Even when I was an adult.

Is your dad Gok Wan?

Then his opinion doth not count.

I wonder what your Dad's boots are like.

I've got similar, they're fine, they just cut off my circulation at the ankle! I never take any notice of my dad style wise. My mum told him once his style was 'seedy' :o

thanks i'm still confused, i will have to ask him later what his objection is with them

I thought "dressed up like a dog's dinner" was a compliment. In my defense I only heard it for the first time a couple of weeks ago.

What does it mean?

Have no idea why those boots would cause such a strong reaction in your dad, sea!

Is he trying to be 'with it'?

they are a bit meh

They are rather meh. Don't see why they would cause any kind of strong reaction.

When did any one ever listen to their dad about fashion?

The boots are OK, BTW, I'd wear them.

what's meh?

blah blah whatever, I think.

What do dads know??!

Mine goes all Kenneth Williams if I wear something remotely glam/sexy - "oooh, look at the length of that skirt, what a nice pair of legs, oooh matron!"

I like the boots, btw. I have a similar pair in brown, great with jeans. Won't set the world on fire, but perfectly fine.

haha depp, i think i'm just confused how such a boring pair of boots could evoke such a reaction. oh well

Tchah! Dads, eh, what do they know?

Rockbird - laughing at 'seedy'

I do not like them at all. Where is the style? But funny you have posted them :)
