Are these boots too 'man like'

[Tweet2tweet]

In my continuing quest to develop a classic, capsule wardrobe I thought about getting http://www.harrods.com/product/wilson-leather-boot/kg-by-kurt-geiger/000000000002830236?cat1=bc-kg-by-kurt-geiger&cat2=bc-kg-by-kurt-geiger-for-her these . Do you think that they are too man like though?

I was thinking about wearing with thick black tights and skirts etc....

Oops here's link

Yes they are vile. Sorry

Well theya are but that could look great in the same way brogues can. However I wouldn't say they'd be a core part of a capsule wardrobe as core items need to go with lots of items and you'd be limited with these.

I wear similar shoes. Sorry, Valium .

I try to buy narrow ones though as I think they look more feminine My feet are pretty narrow too. I typically wear mine with black skinny jeans.

Snort!

Thanks for tips- may hold off and see if they go into the sale!

Ignore me - I clearly no NOTHING

I clearly cannot spell either KNOW

I like them, not my style but could look very interesting with something tight. Why not?

With the right outfit I think they'd look great with skirts/dresses/ skinnies and silk shirts etc. I wouldn't wear them as too old (52) and am not the right shape but I love them.

Ooh I think I like them. I'd wear with tapered trousers and like carbon says a silk shirt. I saw www.vivaladiva.com/shop/daniel-gallant-brogue/bj057/product/details/show.action?pdBoUid=6458#colour:Black,size:these when browsing the other day. I love how shiny they are. :o

Ooh just seen these too. Can't seem to find cheaper boots though. www.very.co.uk/clarks-hamble-oak-ladies-brogues---black/1174964592.prd?browseToken=%2fb%2f1589%2fq%2fbrogues

Its quite a severe look Jajas. I take my hat off to anyone who can pull it off. :o I like the style of brogues but at my size they would just look odd.

are these them?

They look lovely but I think would be quite hard to wear successfully. Flat boots need very sharp dressing otherwise they look Greenham Common circa 1985. Particularly difficult with trousers unless you are v tall and v slim and they are v skinny. Nice with skirts and dresses but in the right setting - more school run than boardroom

I don't know. Can boots be too man like? Is that a problem?

What matters is whether or not you like them. The design with holes in reminds me too much of shoes I wore as a kid in the 70s and 80s. That would be more of an issue for me than whether they looked man like.
