Hi, newbie here Blush !
I think I NEED the Clarks Norley wood ankle boots www.clarks.co.uk/p/20351507 . I just have no idea what colour. Is brown ok with black jeans/leggings and is black ok with dark blue jeans??? Probably such a non issue but this decission drives me mad every year!
Apologise if none of the links or little smiley faces work!
Thanks!

IMO they look nicer in the black - seems to eb an odd finish on the brown version. So, black.

dexter73 · 13/09/2012 17:52

I have the brown. They don't actually have a weird finish in rl! I got brown as I only had black boots so fancied a change.

You do have the 20% off code before you order?

ruby22 · 13/09/2012 17:54

Toomuchjiggleinmywiggle · 13/09/2012 17:55

I'd go for black.

Finbert · 13/09/2012 18:02

I like the brown

cornzy · 13/09/2012 18:04

code?

dexter73 · 13/09/2012 18:17

Here - BEFIRST valid until 18th September.

MrsLettuce · 13/09/2012 18:22

Ah, riight. Now I know the apparent dodgy finish on the brown isn't there IRL - my vote goes to brown. Is nicer 'cause of not having the contrast between upper and sole.

Mumelie · 13/09/2012 19:28

Whats the sizing like on these boots? I find Clarks difficult to guess at for online ordering and go between a 5 and 5.5.
I vote for the brown too.

dexter73 · 13/09/2012 19:30

I found them a bit on the big size so order half a size down. I am usually an 8 but got a 7 1/2.

Besom · 13/09/2012 19:37

I vote brown. I've gone for brown this year after years of black and am not regretting it.

Mumelie · 13/09/2012 20:18

Cheers Dex, think I'll try the 5

MissBoPeep · 13/09/2012 20:25

In RL the brown is quite grey- a dusty brown. I was disappointed when I saw them and they also look much chunkier in the flesh.

cannot see where to enter code for discount.
Have re checked numerous times,selected home delivery etc but no 'promotions' or 'enter discount' anywhere!

PippiL · 13/09/2012 20:40

Hang, on, a, sec.

Firstly, I bought 5 in black (am 5.5) they were small.

Secondly, have you considered the norley cedar in black? I ended up with them after taking the wood back and trying them on in store. I just think I will wear them more as the ankle ones look harder to wear with stuff.

Toomuchjiggleinmywiggle · 13/09/2012 20:54

Wow thanks for all the replies and the discount code! I do like the longer leg length ones but I have a similar pair Smile
I still can't decide between the black and brown though, Urgh! Confused
