Please tell me these are not mum boots

[Dancergirl]

Ordered some boots from Dune in the sale, they are these:

I really like them, they fit well and I can wear them with jeans and skirts. But then I had a thought - are they mum boots?? If so, they are going back

Nope, they're biker boots, you're all right.

Hmm, borderline for me. Don't ever wear them with jeans and a fleece!

I don't wear fleeces but do wear skinnies!

No, they look lovely.

Fine with skinnies, just not under boot cut
I know this has been done to death, but I think anything can look mumsy if you like it, buy it, then stop thinking about whether it goes with the rest of your outfit.

Excuse that bit of analysis, I'm just trying to figure out myself why none of my clothes, footwear and coats "go" together (and DD's now - sigh)

Borderline - it's the heel height.

Bargain price though!

I think they're borderline, I'm afraid. The heel is just a tiny bit too high, and there's something a bit too clean-cut about them. As if they've aimed at a nod to biker style without frightening the ladies of High Wycombe.

I wanted sort of biker style but not too clumpy/heavy looking.

Are you saying these are neither one thing or another??

I think they're fine. And a great reduction!

I'm with the others. A bit borderline for me.

I think they're mum boots trying hard to be biker boots.

They are boots. You like them. You are a mum. Keep the damn boots, if they suit your lifestyle and go well with the clothes you want to wear. It honestly depends how you wear them as to whether or not they'll be okay for what YOU want to use them for/look like. No boot is in itself a 'Mum boot' except on MN (and everyone on here is a loon!).

I've just got a paranoid fear that I don't want to look frumpy!

Hmmm...borderline. It depends on how mummsy the rest of you is.

I doubt anyone will notice these boots when you are wearing them.

Actually, I bet they look a lot better in RL. With skinny jeans and an over-sized jumper they would look good.

Yea, they're not biker boots. Too high. They're getting into Mum boot territory I'm afraid.

I also wanted to wear them with knit dresses and thick tights. Do you think they'll work?

The heel is too high for my liking . They would look odd with skinny jeans in my opinion .

What about these: (MUCH more money though):

Insanely expensive. There must be a middle ground, if you've been talked out of the original ones.

Do you definitely want calf length?

Yes I think so. I want them more to wear with skirts and dresses, I've got boots to wear with skinnies.

I have some ugg biker boots from a few years ago which look nice with jumper dresses etc .. I'll try and find them .

Sorry, they're mum boots. Not clompy enough for biker boots, and with a too-high heel...

I think they're a bit too neat looking verging into mum boot territory.

How about these?
