Yes, No or Hell No?

I quite a fancy a pair of these.

I'm 28, long time DM wearer, but usually stick to the normal lace-up boots, haven't ventured to their other styles.

I have SHOCKING yet comfortable taste in clothes and footwear (I live in jeans and tunics, Converse and DMs) so whilst I think these boots are great, the rest of the world could be laughing at me.

Oh god yes, they look so comfy and are a fab colour! I'm all about the comfort too so I say go for them. They are lovely Smile

valiumredhead · 20/07/2012 22:47

YES!!!!!!

BUt you will have pages saying you fugly they are but don't listen

yellowraincoat · 20/07/2012 22:48

Not my style but I wouldn't laugh at them. They're ok.

Lottapianos · 20/07/2012 22:50

In fact, I like them so much I'm going to buy a pair in black. So thanks OP! Smile

valiumredhead · 20/07/2012 22:51

I want the brown pair!

bleedingheart · 20/07/2012 22:51

I think they sound very in keeping with your personal style and the colour is lovely.

Phew!

I've finally chucked out my last pair of toe-choking Irregular Choice. Maybe now I have decent taste in shoes?

Was ready to type Hell no as I'm a Mum boots girl myself but I actually quite like them.

iliketea · 20/07/2012 22:54

I tried these on, but I found them to be much narrower than normal DMs and struggled to get them on my feet, in case you've not tried them yet. I love DMs, most comfortable shoes ever IMO.

Chubfuddler · 20/07/2012 22:54

God those are fuggly.

ForFoxsGlacierMints · 20/07/2012 22:58

Hell no I'm afraid (for me, anyway)

ThePigOnTheWall · 20/07/2012 22:58

I would not only laugh, but I may point as well

Are you under 24? Or over 85? If the answer to both is negative, it's a resounding "HELL NO!" from me

I'm 28, so whilst I'm not sub-24, I'm hardly miles over it.

Hmm.

Do you suggest another pair, PigOnTheWall? I'm not going anywhere near KG for shoes, though. Neon spike hell WAG madness lies beside those doors.

Just wear dms

FunnyLittleFrog · 20/07/2012 23:01

They are great - go for it. I have seen cool 6th-formers wearing them and also arty type 40 yr olds. Love 'em.

Lottapianos · 20/07/2012 23:03

Point and laugh eh? Let them, OP - you will be the one smiling with comfy feet Smile Agree with you about Kurt Geiger - WAG shoes mostly, ok if you have a chauffeur Hmm

ThisWeekonFancyPuffin · 20/07/2012 23:07

I LOVE them! Am very Envy at you getting a pair.

Cremolafoam · 20/07/2012 23:08

FancyPuffin, I need to try to justify the £85. I was going to buy a Scaramanga bag for uni (going back as a mature student), but thinking comfy boots might be more important.

They are lovely. I love boots that look like pasties on the end of your legs.

For myself, I wouldn't do purple because I'm in my late 50s and might turn into that Jenny Joseph woman from the poem.

On the other hand I identify red as the try-hard colour for the middle-aged, and try to avoid it. Melbourne is full of it. What colossal bitch I am.

clayfeet · 21/07/2012 07:30

They are lovely. I've just ordered www.colemansworkwear.com/ProductDetails.aspx?id=1259

MrsHelsBels74 · 21/07/2012 07:33
