Can anyone recommend some nice clompy boots to stamp around in?

Preferably black leather, with a wedge heel, ankle boot or biker boot, nothing too ladylike?

Thanks. Just going through 904 pairs of shoes in the sale as we speak Confused

Aw I'm gutted you can't walk in them. Maybe keep them just for show, OP?

Of course you can still parade. We will kick people out of the way with our chunky boots.

cheeseandmushroomtoastie · 15/06/2012 15:06

just ordered Sara Sybil Vermont and Anita. Unfortunatel Sierra, my favourite, was out of stock. Obviously am not going to keep them all......

KimaGreggsSausageRoll · 15/06/2012 15:12

Yellowraincoat maybe I should keep them for when DD is older as she loves them Grin

Seriously tho I have no sense of balance and have always been unable to walk in heels (except wedges), I am gutted.

Vermont are lovely cheese!

But I must thank you massively yellowraincoat for leading me to the KG website as I would never ever have looked there otherwise Thanks

Have we, um, crashed the website? Confused

KimaGreggsSausageRoll · 15/06/2012 15:21

Too much stomping no doubt!

UUUGh now I'm on the website too! I do not have the money for this!

cheeseandmushroomtoastie · 15/06/2012 15:27

Thats me sorted for summer winter!

mumofjust1 · 16/06/2012 15:57

I should NEVER have clicked on that link!

Just brought 3 pairs - 2 for me and one for Dd Grin

Kurt Geiger sale threads on mn are lethal on my bank balance. I see it as an investment though, ahem, and saves me time trawling for boots when I actually go to get some.

Labradorlover · 17/06/2012 22:57

Aw sorry Kima, although you have given me hope that my boots will fit, as I'm not quite a 37. As to walking in heels, I'm always a bit tottery to start, but somehow start to channel my inner catwalk model when moderatly pissed.

Krumbum · 17/06/2012 23:30

New rocks.

cheeseandmushroomtoastie · 18/06/2012 13:17

Delivery arrived this morning - am only keeping the Sara and Anita. The Vermont were ok, but a bit wierd to, like normal ankle boots with some fabric sewn on to make them look like mid calf boots, and the fabric didnt stay upright, tried them on with jeans, tights, and just wasnt 100% sure so they're going back, otherwise I know they will just sit hidden at the bottom of my wardrobe for a year or so.... the Sybil are just too high for me at the moment - am 7 weeks pregnant so don think I will get much wear out of them in the next year or so, so did the grown up sensible thing and returned them too.

Off to find some bargainous maternity/newborn and toddler chasing friendly boots........

Labradorlover · 20/06/2012 16:35

Gutted, just got an email from KG that they've cancelled my order as they don't have the lovely Sybils in stock......

yellowraincoat · 20/06/2012 16:37

Labradorlover, could you get them on ebay? I know there were some on there, a little more pricy, but still there.

KimaGreggsSausageRoll · 20/06/2012 19:46

I've yet to get round to sending mine back Labrador if you're a size 39... Sending them back tomorrow.

yellowraincoat you should ask KG for commission I reckon you've caused the rush on Sybils!

mumofjust1 · 20/06/2012 19:53

Labrador I have Sybil in a 40 if they're any good for you?

if not, they're going back tomorrow. Shame as they're lovely :)

cheeseandmushroomtoastie · 20/06/2012 19:56

I sent a pair of size 41 Sybil's back on. On day so worth trying again tomorrow?

Labradorlover · 21/06/2012 00:16

Thanks eveyone, but I have barely size 37's........possibly saved from a dancing ankle injury Wink

Oh and used to have New Rocks in the 90's.....

I have these - they are amazing for everything and I always get compliments.

Labradorlover · 21/06/2012 12:58

Yeah, back in the parade! Found Sybil on Shoeaholic website for the same price and they've been dispatched. Also ordered KG Singapore and Miss KG Farrell. Now I just need some more feet Smile

yellowraincoat · 21/06/2012 13:00
