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

I'm rather partial to a biker style boot.
I wouldn't wear these these, to me they are a bit on the frumpy side, but they are inoffensive so if you like them buy them.
If the rest of your outfit is fabulous no one will look too much at your feet

Love the CAT ones busyboysmum! Going to have to order them!!

Mum boots

It's the smooth neatness I am afraid

I agree they're verging on mum boots.

What about these?

I don't generally like Dune and I'm not massive on biker boots, but as bikers go they're very stylish. They look like some Valentinos this season.

I see a lot of dumpy mums wearing clumpy bikers thinking they look cool when really they just look frumpy. In England that is, in Paris women have the sense not to try to look Lemmy from Motorhead.

At the end of the day you're taking style advice from women who wear Clark's and M&S.

Good point twinkle

Not keen on the Cat ones, just too clumpy for me. Have found these though also from Dune:

nope these aren;t mum boots

ash and their endless copies are the new mum boots

Oi twinkle, who are you saying wears Clark and M+S ?

The last Dune ones you linked are by far the best op.

Very similar to some I've got, the wider top always looks better, and the heel height is just right.

Those are straight mum boots I'm afraid.

Really love the boots Quorn has linked but they are out of stock in my size and I am skint

Those UGG biker style boots linked to upthread are seriously nice and IMO the best ones by far on thread so far.

Mum - prob why they are selling them off so cheap.

At the end of the day you're taking style advice from women who wear Clark's and M&S.

Speak for yourself.

First ones are very borderline, too smooth as AnyFucker says and the front/foot bit is too long, top too narrow, heel neither one thing or the other.

Second ones are better but stupidly overpriced. You can definitely find some just like those, but better, for a lot less.

I like Dune but find you have to try their boots on to really judge. I ordered what I thought were some low heeled bootie things from there and when they arrived they were shiny boats with a Mum boot heel. Nope.

Get into a store if you can.

I like the Peggy ones in your second link. Much better shape with the wider top and shorter toe.

Really like the ones Quorn linked to. Only available in a size 4 though.

The ones dancergirl linked to are much nicer.
(And ignore the charming comment from from Twinkle)

those are mum boots if I ever did see them

The ones in your second link are both nice and i would wear either.
Wouldn't touch the ones in your first as the gold metalwear makes them instantly naff and middle aged.

Re the original pair posted. They fit well, you really like them and they work well with skirts and trousers. However, the opinions of a handful of strangers with unknown style credentials who you will never see in real life has put you off them. Seriously?? Trust your judgement!

Next it will be a "I've lost my sense of style" thread.

Well said Myrtle.

Thank you oven chips .. I love them ... Fwiw I hate clarks shoes . They are just a little bit too shiny and perfect for my liking !

Yes good point myrtle, I think if I had been 100% about them I wouldn't have posted, and also I think I was swayed by the price.

I might order the Dune Peggy ones and compare.

OP what about these?

Still a bit of a heel but chunky enough to not be mumsy, I think...

I'm afraid I don't like Dine either (or Clark's) and the original ones are a bit neat and fussy for my taste. Plus I don't like high heeled boots!
But, if you like them, go for it.
Fwiw, my favourites posted above were the Ugg ones. Nice and plain.
