Acne Pistols - Mum boots, surely

[PippiLongShocking]

Very expensive mum boots, non?

Is it just me, but they are just like the noughties horrors aren't they?

Lol Ah happy sigh.

Justasecond it does feel like an ankle boot cartel atm for sure.

If you want something current then it's Chloe, Marant, Acne. This is the same with High St anyway as they do the same type of things.

I'd love to see a Preen version or Burberry do something as good as their peacoat.

There were some nice Alexander Wang ankle boots on the outnet y'day.

Thanks Amber. I can't do Wang, too masculine for my size 7s. A pity!

Well the ones left anyway, the good ones are probably sold out.

I'm not keen on the shape of the heel on the Pistols or Jalouse. I like a blockier heel. Kurt Geiger have 2 nice boots, Shore and Sofie this season. Wish it was easier to link from iphone!

ollie the Carvela Shaw boot is vv nice and comes in grey, although it is a dark blue/grey, but lovely, and half price!

Come on people who think that Acne boots are mum boots! Link to some boots that you like and aren't mumsy or dull!

I'm going to be wearing these this winter

I like these too, so sue me
I like wearing and don't mind paying more for well made, comfortable clothes and shoes made from high quality materials, that are a little different to the norm. Acne pistols don't tick these boxes for me.

They're very er... cheerful Pippi

Yes, I know. I can wear black when I go to a funeral.

The DM's are very jazzy but the Campers are 10x more mumsy and dull than the Acnes!!

I'm currently in a city where a large proportion of the inhabitants is into Camper style shoes. Let's put it this way: they do change the proportions of an outfit. They shorten the leg and widen the foot.

Any moulded looking boots are unflattering campers and flys. DMs are a classic that comes round and never really dates but wouldn't suit my clothes so not for me but I know lots of people love them

Ohh I have to say - I tried on pistols - and they did nothing for me -totally not my style...... But I m jelous of anyone who can successfully pull em off. I looked like a lost extra from AB fab Have been looking for a grey pair of ankle boots since last winter too loved the rag and bone ones linked earlier. I m in the unfortunate predicament of needing ankle boots and knee highs this year .....

Nice boots Verity - will keep an eye out to try on.

Kew had some grey ankle ones last year - think think they had a fold over top (can't think of a better way to describe it) and didnt do anything for me - too gapey around the ankle.

Regret not buying the Top Shop taupe ones which look grey.

The search continues.

The DMs are awful, hopefully they are not worn with dungarees....

It would be tempting, just to spite you style mavens.
