Hi, am easily influenced & impulse bought some black, flat, suede OTK boots (only 30quid though!). Are they a bit Too Much? A bit Panto/Principal Boy? FYI am 37, size 8 & have been trying to update/grow-up my wardrobe this year (mostly just COS, Other Stories etc.). Honesty welcomed as I suspect my partner will just smile & nod for fear of offence!

Btw I realised after a cursory search here that this is a pretty ubiquitous question year on year which suggests they could almost be considered a classic item? Or maybe I'm confused as do they appear year after year in Panto..

I posted on this topic last year Grin and people were generally in favour. They're flat brown suede. Will be whopping them out in Autumn!

Yes sucking that's the kind of endorsement I was looking for! They are so cozy too aren't they? Defo good for autumn (& versatile in brown I imagine).

They are so warm in winter. I wear them under long skirts.

This has reminded me that I have some!

Every time I wore them DH whinged in that they should be worn with a skirt instead and ruined my mood.

Where the feck can I have put them? Confused
