I love these boots but I have already bought the clarks national sugar boots (£90) this winter and my limit is one pair each winter (am of limited means)

I love these though. The tan ones are nice but are fleece lined which makes them only winter boots and I don't have any chocolate brown boots
I have a birthday coming up but my friend hates them and is trying to put me off them
Any thoughts?

Not quite my cup of tea. Bit beaten up for me but if you like them, you should have them. Sometimes its ok to have something just because, with no justification at all Grin

Buy them! (go on, you know you want to!!) Your friend is just trying to put you off them because she wants to get them herself!

I like them, but I don't think it's 90 quid's worth of like, IYSWIM.

I love these boots, and very nearly bought them for work, but they looked rubbish on my hefty calves with skirts. So I resisted like a good girl. I on no account bought more boots, of other styles Wink

Hassled- I know what you mean but when I look at cheaper boots they are often not good leather and don't last long
mimiasovitch- what was the quality like?

even if they are lined it's always bloody cold or damp, go for it. You can't just have one pair of boots!!

Trooperslane · 30/01/2014 15:58

Always.

Sativa · 30/01/2014 18:15

The way I see it is you won't grow out of them so both pairs could carry over until next Autumn/Winter. And it's free delivery !

So yes Grin

Oh dear, love these, but I've already had 2 new pairs this winter...

mimiasovitch · 30/01/2014 19:07

I've got 2 pairs of red or dead boots which are fabulously comfortable and I really rate the quality. I would hope these were the same.

Alchemist · 30/01/2014 20:01

I am adding to my boot collection tomorrow, so would say buy them!

I've just bought the brown national sugar boots.
I think they're really nice - buy them!

roadwalker · 31/01/2014 08:11

I do love the national sugar boots and brown looks great but I thought an ankle boot would be less wintery and more all season

Love them! I'm on my third winter with a pair of Red Or Dead boots. They are superb quality imo and v comfy

What about these, half the price?
