how to avoid 'Mum boots'?

[Merguez]

Hoping to buy some brown leather ankle boots to wear with jeans.

Very wary of so-called 'Mum boots'. What are they and how do I avoid? Post pics please to help me.

I have these Clarks ones

And these from debenhams

Wear them both with skinnies - are they mumsy? Hope not but not exactly a fashionista!

I have ordered these, I've had them in tan suede before and really like them. I don't care what anyone thinks of them.

Bumping up the thread!

Still tempted by the timberlands but also really like the ugg voltas.

OP, did you get the jigsaw ones?
