Am I veering into "Nana bootees" territory with these boots?

Ignore the fact that they're from Cotton Traders Wink, are these boots really old lady? I quite like the way they look with the leggings and thick socks, but I'd probably wear them under straight leg jeans (don't like skinnies on me) as a sort of desert boot.

If you do think they're not totally shocking, then which colour do you think is best? Apologies for the photos taken of a magazine page, I could find them on the website and link if better.

There is a code. I'll get it for you in a moment, just doing bedtime stuff with the dc Smile.

Thank you very much, am hovering over the button! Have you purchased a pair?

ClaudiaNaughton · 13/11/2014 09:00

I have - in graphite. I am not a nana, honest. Thanks Margot.

tethersend · 13/11/2014 09:28

They are definitely Nana Boots.

But Nana Boots are IN.

MargotLovedTom · 13/11/2014 11:35

Oh well, if Nana chic is all the rage I need to fire up the laptop and get them ordered Wink.
Go on blond - you know you want to!
Claudia how long for delivery?

Thanks OP, I've just ordered some in the wine colour - they look perfect for general schlepping about on chilly days.

Corygal · 13/11/2014 12:42

I like them - go for it.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 13/11/2014 14:13

OP I love your user nameGrin

MargotLovedTom · 13/11/2014 14:43

Grin she did though, didn't she?

In fact, the full name should really be MargotLovedTomAndJerryLovedBarbara Wink.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 13/11/2014 14:51

She so did! And they did tooGrin

ClaudiaNaughton · 13/11/2014 18:02

Didn't see a delivery date but didn't pay for express.

MrsSchadenfreude · 13/11/2014 18:34

My Mum has a pair similar to this. She wears them with jeggings and thick socks. She's 81. Grin

MargotLovedTom · 13/11/2014 19:21

Thanks Claudia.

Your mum is 81 and wears jeggings MrsSchadenfreude? Kudos to her - I'm 42 and I can't get away with jeggings Grin.

I now prefer to think of these boots as encompassing all ages Wink.

What does the Graphite look like in the 'flesh' ?

I fancy wine colour, but have a pair of boots that shade already - could do with black/grey.

MakeMeWarmThisWinter · 13/11/2014 19:52

I think they're alright - but I have proper sheepskin lined boots this winter for the first time and am evangelical about them, they are obscenely warm and comfy with bare feet - so boots like that I don't think look comfy at all in comparison. I have UGGs I got from Branch309 for £50. Not to everyone's taste etc but my word they are incredibly warm and like walking on clouds.

Housesoftheholy · 13/11/2014 21:20

Ive ordered some op, thanks! I need some ankle boots for everyday and they look comfy

MargotLovedTom · 13/11/2014 21:22

What colour did you go for house?
MakeMeWarm I had a look at that site and there were no UGGs for £50, will have to make do with cheapy version.

The wine colour, thought it would make a change

What colour is the graphite, a dark grey?

ClaudiaNaughton · 13/11/2014 21:39

Margot just had an email saying they have been despatched.

MargotLovedTom · 13/11/2014 23:53

That was quick! Yes, graphite will be dark grey. They also do black but they're full price.

Mine arrived in the "wine" colour, but are going back. The colour is horrible! More rust than wine, not at all how it looks on the website. I like the style though, and will try to swap them for graphite.

MargotLovedTom · 15/11/2014 18:59

Oh thanks for the heads up. I might just order mink. Any chance of you putting a photo on here, pleeeeeease? Wink
And are they true to size?

OP posts:
SomeSunnySunday · 15/11/2014 20:16

Here's a pic (although I actually think it makes them look redder than they are, they look a bit browner in real life).

The sizing seems quite generous. I'm a fairly consistent size 5, ordered a 5, and they would have lots of space for chunky socks. They are very, very comfy.

MargotLovedTom · 15/11/2014 21:27

I see what you mean, they look nothing like a wine colour so I hope you're able to exchange them without paying extra postage. I'm pleased to hear they're very comfortable!
