Are these boots horrible?

I want very casual mid calf boots and I can't make up my mind if these are nice or totally horrible. And I think I may be too old for them (mid 40s).

So go on, be honest I can take it. Grin

What would you wear with them

madammecholet · 25/08/2011 18:57

Oh sweet jesus megatron they are HIDEOUS....go wash your eyes out and tell me what you're looking for.

pamplemousserose : a large bag over her head so she isn't recognised by anyone she knows?

madammecholet · 25/08/2011 19:02

if it has to be flat and fur, how about these or even dare I say it these

Megatron · 25/08/2011 19:03

Ha ha I LOVE this place! Grin

Is there NOTHING nice about them? No? OK then.......

Right, I want casual mid calf boots to wear with slim leg jeans, budget about £70. First one to find me a pair wins ............. nothing. GO!

I think they are alright.

pamplemousserose · 25/08/2011 19:06

I like the OPs ones best. The ones that madame posted are very granny.

Megatron · 25/08/2011 19:07

You have me worried now. I bought a pair of heeled boots last week and now I think my taste may be so horrific people will point at me in the street and laugh.

god, talk about ugly as sin

all of those boots are vile!

bigpants103 · 25/08/2011 19:12

First pair better than the two recommended!

Megatron · 25/08/2011 19:12

Carsmamma well PLEASE find me some nice ones - I'm a desperate woman. (clearly!)

pictish · 25/08/2011 19:14

Crikey - I can see an old woman shuffling about the local pound shop in those!

Sorry....you did ask.

madammecholet · 25/08/2011 19:18

I'll try again. I don't have a weird obsession with those other boots, honesstly.

OP posts:
MugglesandLuna · 25/08/2011 19:28

The ones in the OP are awful, and I have bad taste in shoes. A pair I onced likes and linked to were called 'Lesbian Troll Clogs'

Megatron · 25/08/2011 19:30

I'm not crazy about any of those madammecholet, most are out of my price range too. (You made me buy a Lucia remember? bread and water for me til Christmas!) Wink

OP posts:
thefirstMrsDeVere · 25/08/2011 19:31

Those first ones made me laugh.
Because of the things listed underneath as 'people who viewed these also viewed...'

One of them looks like a wedding dress.

I am all for eclectic dressing but .....Grin

HandMini · 25/08/2011 19:33

Megatron - I like the boots on this site - www.celtic-sheepskin.co.uk/ladies/ladies-sheepskin-boots/ Or are they all too Ugg-like?

deepfriedcupcake · 25/08/2011 19:42

Megatron - I like your second choice much better. Actually I think the first ones could just about be okay if you could tame or trim the small animal currently living in them.

FoundWanting · 25/08/2011 19:48

Has anyone bought asos own brand shoes/boots? How does their sizing come up? And quality? Their dresses are a bit hit and miss.

I'm tempted by these.

earlyriser · 25/08/2011 19:50

mustang
They say for kids but they go up to a size 7 i think.

tothemoonandback · 25/08/2011 19:52

They were at the back of the queue when boots were lining up for style. Yuk. (sorry).
