My style is fairly quirky.

I was expecting to hate them, but actually they're nice.
If you rock a quirky look normally then I think they'd look good.

HappyHeart87 · 21/08/2016 20:17

Oh gosh. Struggling to believe you're serious! I think they're awful. But if you love them then buy them and wear them and be a beaded denim cowboy booted diva.

DavetheCat2001 · 21/08/2016 20:17

Yeah it's funny, they're pretty wacky, but I kind of like them.

I'm a bit hesitant though as they are from a seller based in China by the looks of it, and I can just imagine the ballot of trying to return them if they don't fit.

Confused Not to my taste...but at least they're not the dreaded Mum Boots Grin What could you wear those with?
LapinR0se · 21/08/2016 20:21

Oh god no. They are really really nasty, sorry

TiggyOBE · 21/08/2016 20:21

Rah-rah skirt and bat-wing jumper? Very mid 80s. Could look OK in right outfit.

The3Ls · 21/08/2016 20:23

be careful with the sizing from china comes up small and can b USA sizing too

DavetheCat2001 · 21/08/2016 20:24

What to wear them with is a good question Grin

I'm not in all probability going to buy them, they just caught my eye.

I think they'd be awesome to turn up on the school run in though....Grin

I'm really sorry to be so rude but they are literally the worst boots I have ever seen in my life Shock

But if you get them, I hope you rock them and enjoy them.

MrsGsnow18 · 21/08/2016 20:29

I would say my style is somewhat
Quirky but I don't really love the denim aspect of these. I like the colourful bits though.
You should check out desigual boots ( in the outlet section of website) they do tan ones with colourful details.

burnishedsilver · 21/08/2016 20:30

This? (I'm in the hideous camp)

BennyTheBall · 21/08/2016 20:30

OMG!

They are so hideous, don't know whether to laugh or, laugh a bit more.

DavetheCat2001 · 21/08/2016 20:33

Yeah the denim-ness is a bit...denim-y.

Thank you for making me see sense. I am very hungover today and don't think my brain is functioning too well!

Thanks for the tip MrsGsnow I shall take a look Grin

I dont think I could pull them off..... each to their own though.

BadTasteFlump · 21/08/2016 20:44

Ooh they are scary Shock

But if you're young, cool and gorgeous you can probably get away with them in an 'ironic' way. I would look like a sad old mum trying to hang onto the 80's...

GinIsIn · 21/08/2016 20:46

They are quite possibly the most hideous thing I have ever seen. Sorry!

whattheseithakasmean · 21/08/2016 20:47

That picture of Britney & Justin is great, made me snort. Boots are in deffo in the same camp - I'd fear arrest by the Fashion Police (and it would be fair cop, bang to rights).

Queenbean · 21/08/2016 20:53

They're absolutely hideous

Btw, if the seller is in China they will very likely look different from the photos. Even worse, if that's at all possible.

DavetheCat2001 · 21/08/2016 20:53

Well I'm definitely not young, jury's out on 'cool' but I am definitely gorgeous!

Imagine how wet your feet would get in the rain with denim shoes. They would take days to try out.

burnishedsilver · 21/08/2016 21:11

You could try making your own ;-) Do you have any old jeans?

Motherfuckers · 21/08/2016 21:15

Oh they are nasty. Cheap looking beads and shiny black heels. Get back to bed OP and stay away from fleabay in your hungover state.

RowenaDahl · 21/08/2016 21:25

Good grief, they are hideous. Sorry, but you did ask.......

lurkingfromhome · 21/08/2016 21:35

Step away from these vile objects at once. And yes, if they're coming from China they're likely to be even more cheap and hideous looking than the picture would suggest (and the bar is set quite low...).
