Mum boots?

OP posts:

I'm 39. I think they are ok but wouldn't choose them. A bit boring but not sure if they'd be classed as a mum boot.

LexieSinclair · 22/10/2012 07:31

They're lovely. Not Mum boots at all.

WipsGlitter · 22/10/2012 07:39

I'm 42 and wouldn't wear them. Ugly colour and a non style - not a proper shoe boot nor an ankle boot.

I like the brown suede version but I am not so keen on the tan leather.

CharlotteBronteSaurus · 22/10/2012 08:50

i've got them in brown
they work very well with skinnies
they were in the Grauniad style supplement last week, BTW

Catsmamma · 22/10/2012 08:52

nasty nasty boots!

AND ....you'll have that ridiculous sock on show look whenever you sit down or bend at the knees

Zombieminx · 22/10/2012 08:52

The brown are ok but not keen on the tan.

Themilkybarisonme · 22/10/2012 08:53

This one is very similar but I think has something more about it

I'm judging, and they aren't getting many points. Sorry. They are just a bit blah.

Caerlaverock · 22/10/2012 09:11

Horrid

I have tried these on but there is just something not quite right about them. I think perhaps it is the curved bit at the top, it just needed to be a little longer or straight. If you want this colour,these are better I think

Don't like them, they somehow manage to look bland and a bit odd at the same time IMO.

I noticed these which I think are nicer.

cazza40 · 22/10/2012 14:43

Yes they are mum boots - am sure you can get much nicer ones for that price. TBH find Clarks a bit mumsy in general

QueenieLovesEels · 22/10/2012 14:52

Something a bit Katie Holmes about them-they remind me of that tan suede pair she was stapled to.

Avoid.

MissPerception · 22/10/2012 15:01

Haha, Queenie is right; Katie Holmes boots.

Madmog · 22/10/2012 15:03

Personally I'm not into tan myself, so would only look at these if the tan is dark or I was after a black pair. Regarding style, I'm 45 and like them, so would certainly try them on if looking for a pair.

NerdAmigo · 22/10/2012 18:40

I was going to wear them with tights

I looked at those Nerd but there's something just not quite right with them.

I bought these instead but they tan, not brown. That photo is really dodgy.

I really like these too

ChablisLover · 22/10/2012 20:51

I have them but in the dark brown suede.

I like them. Toyed with the idea of the black ones but someone on here said they were v shiny and can't be doing that.

NerdAmigo · 24/10/2012 15:52

So I got the tan ones, and they are very nice, actually, just what I was looking for.
