I have bought beautiful boots.

I bought school shoes for my son today (in Clark's) and was given a set of 20% off vouchers. I now have a pair of Moonlight Star boots in blue. I was going to be "sensible" and get a tan pair, but went for the blue.
I don't mind if the weather changes now.
Ps - cant do links so if someone can link to them it would be appreciated.

They're gorgeous.
I'm starting to look forward to the cooler weather now, if only for wearing A/W clothes.

ooh lovely!

I've fallen for these...hate buying shoes online though (never know if I'm a 3 or a 4!)

I've been ogling those for a few days now! They are fab fab fab.

AndTwoBits · 28/08/2013 18:30

Leo I tried those Massimo boots on. They are beautiful but my foot kept slipping out of them.

LeoandBoosmum · 28/08/2013 18:32

Eek...would you say they were on the large side then, Andtwobits? I have that issue with Boden...their smallest size (3) is always too big sigh
Are those boots as good quality as they appear on the site? I'm wondering if there is a Massimo store, rather than ordering online...

gaggiagirl · 28/08/2013 18:36

Those Clarks boots are just beautiful! I think I have to have them I need them.

LynetteScavo · 28/08/2013 18:38

LeoandBoosmum - I took a sharp intake of breath when I saw those boots! Then saw they were from the website I discovered today. I need to earn more money so I can buy more clothes. Sad

OP, those are dancing boots. You must dance in them. Grin

AndTwoBits · 28/08/2013 18:38

They are fab quality, no doubt about it. I am a 41 but they only had a 40 in the shop. They were a half a size too small, so yes I would say they come up big. Would defo need to be tried on. They were gorgeous in tan too!

Pinupgirl · 28/08/2013 18:46

I love the colour but not the style but am glad you love then so much op! I love my red and white stripey wedges that I got in clarks sale-had my eye on them for ages and got them for a barganious 20 quid!-just hope weather holds a wee bit longer so I can wear them!

Dawndonnaagain · 28/08/2013 18:54

I bought these today. Roll on grotty weather!

The boots come in standard and wide fitting. I have wide feet and high in steps and a size 5 standard width fit me comfortably. The 5.5 standard width boots were too big for me.

The colour in real life is much better than the photo on the website. So, if you like the photo you will love the real colour.
Ps - I'm not on commission for them!

Thanks DawnDonna, I have ordered those M&S boots.

Dawndonnaagain · 28/08/2013 21:03

I bought them in black Poppy, they're fabulously comfortable!

Hopasholic · 28/08/2013 21:21

They are gorgeous OP. I want them! I need the school holidays to be over to keep me away from the Internet Blush

Why did I set up a pay pal account? Means I can order from my bed, no purse required and it's lethal!

PoppyWearer · 28/08/2013 21:24

I'm a brown boot kind of person, Dawndonna but wanted some as a backup for my failing/falling-apart trusty Ash bikers, on their last legs after being worn to death last winter, but am hoping they will last me another couple of months, hence didn't want to splurge on another v.expensive pair this year.

Hopefully the M&S ones will do the job! Thanks Again!

PoppyWearer · 28/08/2013 21:27

Although having said I'm a brown-boot person, I've just bought some gorgeous Clark's blue suede boots (never worn) on eBay.

My name is PoppyWearer and I am addicted to lovely boots!

Funny, isn't it, because I wear the same summer shoes/sandals year after year! Boots...I have a gazillion pairs.

vaticancameo · 28/08/2013 21:31

Right, I love those boots op and want them in my life! But, but, what trousers do you wear with them? Skinny jeans?

InMyShreddies · 28/08/2013 21:38

They really are gorgeous!

Ilovewaleswhenitrains · 28/08/2013 22:32

Vatican, I am planning on wearing them with straight leg jeans. I am starting at the gym (again) tomorrow, so hopefully skinny jeans will be an option soon.

Great boots both. Is it just me or are clarks completely fab these days? Whenever I walk past the shop in Westfield I'd always happily have at least three-quarters of what's in the window.

MorrisZapp · 28/08/2013 23:14

Stunning. Would love all of them. Oh decisions decisions! There's a fab pair of Hush Puppy boots in the John Lewis mag. They're called Rustique, I must have them.

Dawndonnaagain · 28/08/2013 23:25

My next purchase will be hush puppies viviana. Gorgeous! Can't link, on iPad.
