Mum boots vs stylish boots.

They really are different aren't they?.... Please convince me they're not and that I can save £70 :(

pay the extra £70, it's well worth it ;)

LaCerbiatta · 16/07/2012 12:38

noooooo, that's the wrong answer

There will be other boots

Madammecholet · 16/07/2012 12:38

sorry. KG ones are divine... Grin

MrsHelsBels74 · 16/07/2012 12:39

Well they are the same in that I don't like either of them...sorry

IDismyname · 16/07/2012 12:40

Depends on how skint or desperate you are!

The only real difference is the zip - and how much of that is going to show when you're wearing them?

savoycabbage · 16/07/2012 12:40

The mum boots aren't as bad as I thought they were going to be but the stylish ones are definitely more stylish.

noddyholder · 16/07/2012 12:41

I prefer the cheaper ones.Kurt geiger can be hit and miss and look a bit footballers wifey. The TK Maxx ones are really useful and nice shape not mumsy at all

missmiss · 16/07/2012 12:41

Get the stylish ones. There's nothing worse than mum boots!

LaCerbiatta · 16/07/2012 12:41

They are divine, aren't they?

(any KG codes around?............)

Sale10 promotional side gets you another 10% off it that helps?

Madammecholet · 16/07/2012 12:41

The KG ones have MUCH nicer leather too. The finish looks lovely.

Dropdeadfred · 16/07/2012 12:41

Code. Not side

LaCerbiatta · 16/07/2012 12:44

Sale10 didn't work :(

OP posts:
Dropdeadfred · 16/07/2012 12:48

Hmm sorry just tried that code and it's said not valid

AmberNectarine · 16/07/2012 12:51

I prefer the cheaper ones actually, more of a Scandi minimalist feel. The sweeps are just Pistol rip-offs anyway, which are ten a penny on the high street at the moment.

LaCerbiatta · 16/07/2012 12:51

Thanks anyway - those 10% would have convinced me...
I'll wait until the evening I think. if they're still there, i'll buy them.

I won't get anything as nice and as nice quality for that price once the autumn comes, right?
(unless I go to TKmaxx...........)

OP posts:
LaCerbiatta · 16/07/2012 12:53

Yes Amber, but they're nice quality.... I know I can get identical looking in New Look, etc but they'll be all cheaply made and synthetic inside.

This is really a sensible option...

OP posts:
LaCerbiatta · 16/07/2012 12:54

Meant to add a ;)

I agree they are lovely

Callisto · 16/07/2012 13:02

The stylish boots are mum boots though Confused. I think both pairs are pretty hideous.

valiumredhead · 16/07/2012 13:03

Both are vile imo, sorry Grin

noddyholder · 16/07/2012 13:03

Yes the 1st ones are definitely more now the others are mum boots.The TK ones are like short fryes

MadAboutHotChoc · 16/07/2012 13:03

I have ordered the first pair as these are exactly what I have been looking for - have looked for ages but these were too cheap/synthetic, too fussy, wrong shape/heel height, wrong colour etc.

Thanks :)
