Are these boots just really horrible?

[Intersat]

I bought these boots www.very.co.uk/clarks-melissa-tara-knee-high-boots/924805128.prd?browseToken=%2fb%2f1666%2c5640%2fs%2fnewin%2c0&trail=1589-1665-1666-5640 last year before I discovered S & B. Are they mum boots? I am having some doubts about them now!

I like them, but I'm no fashion leader!

I'm not either! :)

I like them too, but I'm a fashion numpty also.

Hmm maybe this is where people who are not so knowledgeable about style can come and admire other people's less stylish offers (unless someone in the know comes along and they are indeed repectable boots). Or would that defeat the purpose of the forum

The heel is a little clumpy.

They are from Clarks. They are mum boots. Tis the Clarks law.

Sorry!

Undiscovering S&B would be good for your sanity I think. You bought them because you like them - why do you need to have the approval of a bunch of internet sprites?

I think they are fine - I wouldn't buy them because I'm not keen on the detailing or the heel - but so what, you are wearing them, not me and they aren't exactly granny shoes or anything.

I like them and I am mega cool. No really, I am.

They're nice. Not earth-shatteringly gorgeous IMO, but nice and they'll last

I'd wear them happily. Not sure I'd buy them unless they were on sale or something but them I'm like that with most clothing so it's not a reflection on the boots!

They are fine for work, but I wouldn't wear them for casual. I prefer brown boots for everything non-work.

You may be right ChippingIn. I think I am worrying too much about it. A few long threads about mum boots has me looking at them a bit too hard :)

Thanks for your opnions everyone

They are comfy boots BeerTricksPotter

You're welcome :)

Enjoy wearing them!

I haven't read any of the other answers! You must post what you will wear them with!!

That's the mumsy decider!!

I was planning on wearing them with knitted dresses and maybe shortish skirts and jumpers Pinkflipflop. Depends what shortish skirts look like on me these days. It's been ages since I wore dresses or skirts. I have been sticking mostly with jeans and trainers because they are comfy and an easy choice but I feel like I want to expand my wardrobe a bit now DD is growing up.

They are nice.

They're ok. Tad clumpy / mum boot for me but if you like them! I've seen far worse!

I don't get this "mum boot" thing. I work in an office where we have people of all ages. These boots wouldn't look out of place. I assume that those people who post snide remarks about "mumsy" style footwear wear killer heels all the time or expensive branded footwear.

Just ignore them. I do.

It's not 'snide', it's personal taste. On MN it's a recognised term that people understand and we were asked for our opinions afterall.

Don't worry OP, I think they're fine - I own far worse! But then I am a practical sort, who likes to get from A to B at speed.

northener is wrong with clarks edict

Wrong? Moi?

Show me a stylish pair from Clarks and I'll show my arse in Woolworths window.

I stumbled into Style and Beauty by accident too RufousBartleby :) Now I know what shoe boots and jeggings are (but don't question my knowledge too closely). I also have loads of ideas for new shops to visit.

DrNortherner, is that promise about Woolworths because you know they have shut all their shops

They're fine. I like the chunky heel, it looks right with the style of boot, gives it a slight cowboy boot look.

But really, if you like them it doesn't matter what others think.
