Am I too old for these boots ? I'm a bit scared of them but want them.

I'm 34 size 10 and usually a boden/joules/white stuff, safe but fairly boring stylie type.
Have recently been trying to relax my look and look a "bit more funky" as my DD puts it and wear boyfriend cardis and layered tops with straight leg jeans with either ballet flats or calf length brown boots.
Have never been able to find a pair of biker boots that I liked but have been eyeing up these but will they go with the above or will I look a tit like mutton...

Whaddya reckon?

Coooooooooooool!

I like them!

grumpypants · 19/11/2010 13:47

No they are beyond horrible. The buckles are too big and shiny. Please don't buy them. (Sorry)

hmm. I love biker boots but I'm afraid those clips on the end of the straps look a bit Bon Jovi circa 1987 to me......

Heathcliffscathy · 19/11/2010 13:48

there are many many nicer biker boots out there...imo

Heathcliffscathy · 19/11/2010 13:49

what i'm saying is definite yes to bike boots but perhaps not them

Is he the cupboard daddy?

gemmummy · 19/11/2010 13:52

no no no no too manly

BirdyArms · 19/11/2010 13:53

I love them, ignore all this miserable lot. They will look great with straight jeans.

DramaInPyjamas · 19/11/2010 13:54

I practically live in biker boots, but don't really like those ones.
They're a bit goth cowboy if you ask me.

ChickensHaveNoLips · 19/11/2010 13:55

Not keen on the oversized buckles, but do like biker boots for stomping about in.

gegs73 · 19/11/2010 13:55

I really like Biker boots generally but the buckles on these ones look abit too big. Biker boots are great though and would look good with what you plan to wear them with.

Fimbo · 19/11/2010 13:56

No, those buckles look like you have kitchen knife set tucked in there.

MerryMarigold · 19/11/2010 13:58

I don't really like them. I think Joe Brown's have some nice boots. Maybe in brown it would look a bit softer.

MerryMarigold · 19/11/2010 14:00

These are [http://www.joebrowns.co.uk/sp+Cowboy-Boots+LF184 cowboy boots] but I like them in brown.

MerryMarigold · 19/11/2010 14:01

oops, sorry cowboy boots

Mincepiefiend · 19/11/2010 14:01

MerryMarigold · 19/11/2010 14:04

Sorry, my links aren't working, but you can browse around Joe Browns. They are funky!

stillbobbysgirl · 19/11/2010 14:08

Mincepiefiend · 19/11/2010 14:09

IWouldNotCouldNotWithAGoat · 19/11/2010 14:10

biker boots - yes.
Those biker boots - no.

LoudRowdyDuck · 19/11/2010 14:10

Honestly?

I think the only people who'll buy those are those who think they might be for young people. Sorry.

There are far nicer boots out there.

Mincepiefiend · 19/11/2010 14:11

Arent' the 80's coming back?
