[shelley72]

Oh dear. I am looking for some black heeled boots to wear with wrap dresses (can't do ankle boots, I look silly h and I seem to have fallen in love with these duo boots. However they are way too expensive as I am also trying to buy a few new items of clothing I need after dd was born in the summer.

Has anyone come across anything similar but not so £££ ?

No help sorry as I haven't seen any like this cheaper but oh my goodness, they are beautiful boots .

They are darling, I love them.

No help, sorry

They are lovely!! Wish I hadn't looked.

Not the same but a lot cheaper:

You might have given that link with a warning! Now I can't unsee them.... And I want them!

Buy them. It's only money. Cut back on something else, something unimportant like food.

You are no help at all. I love them. I want them in black AND aubergine. So the children won't notice at all if I don't feed them you say ..

Oh thanks Shelley, now I want them too. Hmpf I offer no alternative, sorry

No help here...gawd they're lush!

They are lovely and reduced by £70. That makes them an absolute bargain!

Sometimes we have to make sacrifices to get something we really want. In this case, it's your children who will make the sacrifice. They will understand once they see you in the boots!!
Aubergine, you must have them!

They are beautiful. You really need to warn people not to click on the link.

Are your children cute? Could you sell one to pay for the black pair and use the savings on food to buy the aubergine pair?

Obviously I am joking mostly

hmm, I do like them too, they are actually a bargin if you think about it, because they will last for years...

Oh god! They are lovely. Do you think my children would mind not eating for the next two weeks, so I can have those boots?

I think anyone, child or adult, would understand, given the circumstances. They're pretty exceptional.

flatter version if you would struggle with the heels, and they are cheaper

They are just gorgeous. I wouldn't be able to walk in them so I'm safe, luckily for my bank account

Things of beauty

Who cares about walking?! Details, details!!

I must say, actually, that second Duo pair are very nice.

Ugh I now need that flatter pair. Why did I look?

See, now I'd break my silly neck in the first pair. I looked , I thought, "Hmm, nice but not for me"....................

Then I looked at spookys post/link

I could just about get from A-B in them................

Please stop linking to boots. I keep finding more and have spent about a thousand pounds at least in my head. My children are indeed cute (if somewhat er challenging sometimes) and I have three. Surely that must raise enough funds for at least a couple of pairs

I do have some birthday and Christmas money which I put by to buy new clothes once I felt a bit better (have PND) but I need actual clothes. Can't blow the budget on a pair of boots and wander around in the nuddy can I though the boots are SO beautiful people may not notice

No, tethersend. Nice try, but they are not in the same league as the OP's originals.

OP - it's decision time. Buy the Duo boots or .... Feed your family. It's a no brainer!

I just looked again. They're still LUSH.

I have those boots in black and I love them sooooooo much, and what's more they are actually comfortable to wear too..... Don't want to add to your pain OP but some things just have to be done.
On the plus side DUO boots are really well made and last for ages...
