Straw poll: new pair of boots

24 replies

OnlyLovers · 08/03/2016 18:12

Feel like treating myself even though I have boots coming out of my ears

I'm torn between these and these.

Price of both is fine. I don't tend to go in for lace-ups, so am slightly surprised that I like the second pair here, but I do.

I'd want to wear them with skinny jeans and with shortish dresses/skirts. Already have ankle boots I wear with both, so know how they look generally.

Whaddya say, MN?

Prefer the first, although (whispers) they might be bordering on 'yee haw' territory. The second pair remind me a bit of the sort of thing you'd wear to dress up as Eliza Doolittle, which may or may not be a good thing, depending on your take on it! I don;t hate either of them, but don't completely love either either.

Not much use!

'Scuse typos.

mogloveseggs · 08/03/2016 18:22

I think the first.

ScarlettDarling · 08/03/2016 18:24

I like the first but really dislike the second.

OnlyLovers · 08/03/2016 18:29

I know just what you mean about Eliza Doolittle, Remus! Grin That's why I'm surprised I like them; I usually go for a 'sleeker' look than lace-ups.

I may also be being seduced by the fact that they're Red or Dead, a label that I've loved for decades. And the model doesn't look like Eliza D in them, although admittedly she's no doubt much younger and cooler than I...

I'm going to sleep on it.

I actually like them more and more each time I look at them. Would depend how they were worn, I think. Have you got neat little feet?

oldlaundbooth · 08/03/2016 18:39

I like the first pair.

OnlyLovers · 08/03/2016 18:41

Sadly not. Grin Size 8. I am tall though. And the little bit of heel would help, I think.

Another one for the first pair here. They're lovely. Although I'm not a laces fan either.

MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff · 08/03/2016 18:50

I love the first pair gallops off into the sunset after eating baked beans around the campfire. They are lovely.

Not as keen on the lace ups.

HeadFullofSteam · 08/03/2016 18:51

I really like the second ones. First ones are ok but not overly keen on the straps.

Kenworthington · 08/03/2016 18:52

1st ones def. Second ones are a bit victorian workhouse for my liking Grin

DansonslaCapucine · 08/03/2016 18:54

I far prefer the second pair.

Don't like the first pair at all.

OliviaDunham · 08/03/2016 18:56

First pair, but I love cowboy/western boots.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 08/03/2016 18:57

Hmmm - Not sure about the second pair on size 8 feet. For some reason, this image came to my mind. Sorry!

It won't let me see the page properly without creating an account, Remus, but I know what you mean. Grin

I'm leaning towards the Hudsons. Wish I could reverse the prices though!

1st pair for me-i wore my cowboy boots today!

CremeDeSudo · 09/03/2016 09:31

Another vote for the first pair. Tempted to buy them myself..!

OnlyLovers · 09/03/2016 09:42

Yep, that's me to the life, Remus how rude Grin

I'm going for the Hudsons. Well, I'l have a look at Ash first and then decide.

OP posts:
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/03/2016 17:08

:) Have you tried either of them on? I'm just not convinced that the Hudsons merit their price tag.

OnlyLovers · 09/03/2016 17:11

No, am shopping online.

Actually decided against them both for now but will muse on it for a bit.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 09/03/2016 17:37

2nd pair here, prefer a lace-up - freakily skinny feet
