With these boots

I know they're a bit boring but I've been after some black ankle boots to wear everywhere

D'you reckon they're worth £140 or are they too meh and for that I could get some really posh ones (I always think of Kurt Geiger as purveyors of stripper shoes)

Really nice

FromEsme · 30/12/2012 17:26

Not overly keen, but I do think Kurt Geiger shoes are generally good quality.

noddyholder · 30/12/2012 17:28

I think they are the type that look better on I have a million things that would go with those shouldn't have clicked as can't afford atm!

Not my style at all, look like they're trying to be too many things. Men's work boots and wedges.

MacaroniAndWalnut · 30/12/2012 17:37

They're quite dainty in the flesh, not clumpy despite the wedge

And the only heels I can walk in are wedges

Seriously when did shoes and boots get so expensive?

Don't do anything for me sorry.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/12/2012 17:48

I quite like those - but they are stupidly expensive.

MacaroniAndWalnut · 30/12/2012 18:06

They are stupidly expensive aren't they?

But they're the first pair I've seen, and ive been loohing for ageeees that I can see fitting well into my wardrobe

Hmmmm the 'not for me's' are making me think twice, which is what I needed, so thanks but I still think I might succumb

They dont make me go 'wow I love them' but I do like them alot. I think they would go with loads of different outfits and that you'd wear them to death. Definately a good practical buy.

Ive got a few pairs of Kurt Geiger boots and they are really well made and last well.

Lol at stripper shoes - where did that come from!

Wheresmypopcorn · 30/12/2012 18:21

I think they are quite overpriced to be honest

MacaroniAndWalnut · 30/12/2012 19:04

There's a KG outlet shop near where I work full of ones like this it's on that I based my judgement

Lizzylou · 30/12/2012 19:10

I love them, really lovely, practical and stylish.

Not sure if worth £140, only you can decide that!

MacaroniAndWalnut · 30/12/2012 19:12

I guess a 'normal' pair of boots is around the £100 mark these days anyway, so they're not verrrry much more

This is what happens when I go sale shopping. Sales = bunch of crap. Find perfect boots that I can't afford

noddyholder · 30/12/2012 19:58

They are not that silly expensive just a little silly. I still want as know they are very me Card is poised but am trying to resist

Lizzylou · 30/12/2012 20:02

To be honest, you'd get your wear out of them I'd say, so good on cost per wear?!

MacaroniAndWalnut · 30/12/2012 20:07

Well what pushed me into a flurry of I HAVE TO HAVE them is that the two places I saw them in yesterday both only had teeny weeny sizes left

Psychologically you couldn't play me better if you tried

I've ordered them

Telling myself the may go back (not a chance)

I've tried them on in the shop. They are fabulous, really comfortable, not too high. Would work with tights and skirts or jeans. Another lady in shop was buying them in brown suede and they looked amazing. Didn't get them because I already have black boots so not an essential purchase. I keep hoping they'll be reduced in price eventually.

VestaCurry · 30/12/2012 20:10

I like them.

MacaroniAndWalnut · 30/12/2012 20:20

The brown ones are gorgeous too

I've not had black boots for years and its a wardrobe hole I've been wanting to fill

See, I agree that I think I'll wear them
Loads. out of work I think they'll go with pretty much everything I wear, and work is not a suits & court shoe kind of place and I think they're just the ticket for there too
