Mum boots vs stylish boots.

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

Like the matt leather and the shape might get some too could wear with lots

sherbetpips · 16/07/2012 13:07

They are both the same just one has an annoying long zip thing?? Both will look exactly the same under trousers in the rain.

Mum boots are a necessary evil.

Callisto · 16/07/2012 13:08

I have loads of boots, and not a single pair are mum boots, so I disagree Sherbert.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 16/07/2012 13:09

Not quite same colour, but OK price

Ditto

Any good?

noddyholder · 16/07/2012 13:10

I definitely don't do mum boots I think the first ones are anything but! I have many pairs too and no black block heel zippy things at all.

LemonTurd · 16/07/2012 13:10

Those KG ones are lovely, but surely there'll be a cheaper imitation out there somewhere?

noddyholder · 16/07/2012 13:13

Wouldn't wear under trousers though but with knitted short dress and thick tights

bleedingheart · 16/07/2012 13:28

I don't think the first ones are mum boots but I do prefer the second pair.

ASOS have lots of ankle boots in their sale with an extra 10% of using 10SALE

LaCerbiatta · 16/07/2012 13:29

Thank you ladyclarice, those are nice. I don't want suede though, they don't last as long. The 3rd ones I really like, but for only £25 less I think it's not worth going for a colour that doesn't go with everything.

Yes, Lemon, but is a cheap imitation worth it in terms of value?

You can tell I've made my mind up, can't you? Grin

I'll have a good look in Asos though, thank you.

I think they're BOTH mum boots.

shrimponastick · 16/07/2012 13:34

They are both okay.

Do you plan to wear them under jeans/trousers? If so then go for the cheaper pair. They look fine.

The second pair look okay too - I would pay that price (and I am a bit of atightwad) if they fitted well and were comfortable.

Hard to tell online though isn't it?

GobblersKnob · 16/07/2012 13:37

But they are clearly both mum boots Confused

I like the KG ones and am going to get some very similar in black.

SaggyTitsAndHairyToes · 16/07/2012 13:51

the kg ones look more mumsy than the tk's imo!
you can get lovely ones if you look about for a little longer.

LaCerbiatta · 16/07/2012 13:52

So would you say the KG ones are mum boots? I thought they weren't....
(not that I care, really, have worn mum boots all my life, but all of a sudden just find them very unstylish :( - bloody mn!!)

OP posts:
akaemmafrost · 16/07/2012 13:54

I would say any ankle boot to be worn under jeans is a Mum Boot. I do think they're both mumsy, sorry.

VivaLeBeaver · 16/07/2012 13:57

I agree they're both mum boots. The kg ones are just mum boots in better quality leather. I still wouldn't wear them.

SkinnyVanillaLatte · 16/07/2012 13:59

Both Mum.Sorry!

becstarsky · 16/07/2012 14:05
