Are these spenny boots nice?

These

I can't make my mind up - they are very spenny but very comfy - should I go for it? Thank you stylish ladies

I am not the slightest bit stylish, but think they're ok.

But fuck me at the price I'd have to be really sure to spend that!

no, they look like they belong in the footglove section at m&s

Oh no they look like those rubber half wellingtons you get at garden centres

hey cyb why are you on the mums in large cities thread?

heh? Mums in large cities?

They're gopping. And WTF at the price??

They remind me of <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/sa/samuel-windsor-chelsea-boot-black.jpg&imgrefurl=www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/compare-prices/black-chelsea-boots&usg=__zJ53N9Fcq0C-fqaaX53-Qzu6Phk=&h=461&w=569&sz=92&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=v1axEWcuB_JvmM:&tbnh=148&tbnw=183&ei=aP5kTcPwFMWblgemgcmZBg&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dchelsea%2Bboot%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1680%26bih%3D925%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=456&oei=aP5kTcPwFMWblgemgcmZBg&page=1&ndsp=45&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:0&tx=120&ty=72these" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">horrible things which I had a pair of in the early 90's.

here cyb

Haha! See? Told you I wasn't even slightly stylish

Bunny I had those in the 80's/90's too, but they were strictly confined to the stableyard!

Oh fair enough - think the footglove at m&s comment put the nail in the coffin!! - How does NAP and the like suck me in - is it just me???

What is gopping btw?

i hate the word spenny

for that reason

im out

nice bannetyne impression

I was going to say they are slightly odd and not really worth the money, but I've spotted the word 'gopping' up thread, which says it all.

gopping sums it up nicely. Sorry. It's a no from me.

They are vile, sorry

They are from Dolcis circa 1994, aren't they?

Bunny I had those too - used to wear them with striped leggings (a la Max Wall).

Ok - I get it - thank you, you have saved me a fortune! Still don't know what "gopping" is though

Holy crap no

fugly.

net-a-porter i just a pile of overpriced crap. desist from looking

Never mind gopping, what the feck does 'spenny' mean?

Spenny means expensive (and they sure are - I am now thinking wtf was I thinking as it is a resounding vote against!!)

You are right Duplicitous but Net a porter does make me feel like I live some kind of glamorous exciting life (when I definitely don't) - even if it is mainly window shopping (with the odd moment of madness)

UUUrghh vile!! How the hell could you even contemplate spending so much money on such ugly shoes?.

No, don't like them. But LOVE these Acne boots in black. They don't seem to have them on the site at the moment, but you can get them in black.
