I like them very much Grin

ecuse · 22/11/2015 23:46

Love em

BrendaandEddie · 23/11/2015 03:50

They're very average and unremarkable

Dowser · 23/11/2015 08:26

If you like them go for them. Granted I can only see a pic the size of a postage stamp and they don't exactly get my pulse racing but hey, you like them.

gBean · 23/11/2015 08:29

Mum boots.

Bunbaker · 23/11/2015 08:29

I like them, but not in brown.

Bunbaker · 23/11/2015 08:29

Was that really necessary gBean?

lavendersun · 23/11/2015 08:31

I really like them.

gBean · 23/11/2015 08:33

Title asked for opinions, that's my opinion. We all have different tastes.

BrendaandEddie · 23/11/2015 08:36

I agree with the bean. Don't ask if you can't hack it man

If you like them buy them. Not my style.

IHaveBrilloHair · 23/11/2015 09:05

They're ok.

FrancesOldhamKelsey · 23/11/2015 09:07

I have a very similar pair - but bought them a few years back - I think they're a bit over now. Regardless of fashion, it's all about the fit with this type of boot. Are they the perfect fit for your calfs (calves?)?

TondelayaDellaVentamiglia · 23/11/2015 09:11

I'd love them if they were forty quid.

Didiusfalco · 23/11/2015 09:17

I like them. Theyre fairly classic arent they?

sooperdooper · 23/11/2015 09:18

They're ok, inoffensive, but I prefer something with a heel

Bunbaker · 23/11/2015 09:35

I don't find heels comfortable. I tend to stride quickly rather than walk daintily, making heels rather impractical and uncomfortable. And as boots are outdoor wear for me they need to be practical rather than pretty.

LoadsaBlusher · 23/11/2015 09:37

Very plain.
Not to my taste at all .

m0therofdragons · 23/11/2015 16:29

I was after classic and I don't want heels when running round after dc. Yes I'm a mum so happy to wear "mum boots" - better than whore boots Grin
Puzzled where you get £45 boots from - presumably they'd last a few wears where as my last boots were joules and 6 years on are still good.

I usually buy my "mum" boots (commonly known as 'boots' in real life) from ecco in the sale. I am thinking about these - but would prefer brown as my brown boots are more tired looking than my black ones.

I am so over riding boots, they've been in so long.

lavendersun · 23/11/2015 17:59

Really are they not the in thing? Dear me, never mind, I have never been particularly fashionable. Comfortable and waterproof gets my vote.

lorelei9 · 23/11/2015 18:05

I think they are lovely and also a good price.

sadly I'm a short arse, so can't wear this kind of thing - those knee boots are not set up for short legs. (I had Duo in the past but they didn't last well considering how much I paid).

will you buy them OP? It's also hard to get the right shade of brown, this looks just right.

hellhasnofurylikeahungrywoman · 23/11/2015 18:17

I like those boots lavender but agree I would prefer them in brown.

I like the boots m0ther linked to too.

SarahSavesTheDay · 23/11/2015 18:20

Merely 'ok'.
