Winter boots Clarkes

Everyone is moaning about the weather but I see a boot purchase opportunity and found some beautiful brown chunky ankle boots in Clarkes today. www.clarks.co.uk/p/26110935. They do them in black or brown. I've got a couple of pairs of black boots already and would really like some brown ones for a change but am not sure whether it's the done thing to wear brown boots with black opaques teamed with say a casual dress or casual skirt (usually denim).
Feel black is the safe option and I do love the brown ones. Any views that might help my black/brown boots dilemma? I'd never want to wear brown tights btw. A step too far.

I love the look of those boots.

Why not wear your dress and tights into Clarks and try both colours?
See what you think.
Does it have to be black tights? What about navy? Burgandy?
Or buy both colours?
They will be something you'll wear for many winters to come.

I'd wear those with black tights, no worries

I had a pair of boots in black and in brown. I ended up wearing the brown much more than the black. And now the brown boots are knackered (zip broke) I miss them and find the black dull.

I think brown goes with much more than black actually, as I think black can sometimes look a bit dark and harsh.

I've got the Chelsea boot Orinoco style from last year and they're very, very comfy! I love the brown too. Just be careful how you clean them as I ruined my last pair by using an ordinary leather polish Sad

Thanks for for the replies and advice. All very helpful. Feeling even more love for the brown ones now!

I tried those ones on but didn't find them that comfy on my feet so ended up with these www.clarks.co.uk/p/26108511
Which I love so much

Loving these too wonkylegs. My dilemma has shifted from do I get the black or the brown (I'm getting the brown) to a heel height decision as these are slightly higher but not too high. I think it's as another kind poster suggested best to go in and try all on for a proper assessment leading hopefully to an excited purchase.
