Oh dear lord the red and brown are both reduced. So I bought both.

I really really don't need more boots, but they look like they'll last forever and I'm always outside during winter with my reception class. So I definitely needed them.

I've got these, currently in blue but I've had them and similar ones before for the past ten years, different colour each year, they're fab

Love these...but I have chunky calves...

Would someone be willing to measure around the top of the calf of the boots for me, please? Smile

HuckfromScandal · 11/09/2016 16:38

Ordered in brown.
Have had the red pair for years, they are awesome boots!

HateSummer · 11/09/2016 16:48

I'm so excited! Only problem is its 28°C here on Tuesday, when they should arrive. Autumn needs to begin now!

I now need a smart pair of black knee high, tight fitting and for work dresses.
Seen anything that fits the bill?

Cellardoor23 · 11/09/2016 17:23

They look lovely! I need a pair of Autumn/Winter shoes for walking but also stylish! What does everyone think of these ones?

They're gorgeous cellar and I really should stop clicking the links because now I want them too!

MrsLogicFromViz · 13/09/2016 21:03

They look great :) I have The Viola in both the black and the red. I cannot believe that they're discontinuing them Confused

HateSummer · 13/09/2016 21:31

cellar they look so toasty and lovely!

My boots came today! I think I need advice. They fit great at the feet and very comfy. But there's a slight gap, about an inch or inch and a half at the calves. They fit perfectly at the ankle though. I don't know if I should keep them if they're not tight around the calves. I don't think they look welly-ish, and the gap doesn't annoy me. They're just gorgeous though!

Mine also arrived today
Also slightl wide at the tops. I don't think that they look "welly like".
Will get my 18 uyear old to decide whether she likes or not.
There are downsides to her being away at college!!

HateSummer · 13/09/2016 22:02

Let me know what your 18 year old thinks Huck, my 9 year old dd isn't very helpful!

I bought their aimilita boots last week. I'm so in love with them!! Envy

rollonthesummer · 14/09/2016 07:06

What does the top measure-can someone tell us?

CookieDoughKid · 14/09/2016 07:17

Can you please measure the shaft height (top of boot down to heal)? I'm really petite . Would love you for it!

DavetheCat2001 · 14/09/2016 08:37

ooh they are cool.

Unfortunately it appears everyone else thinks so too and are sold out in all colours except black (which aren't on sale).

I am awaiting my new Clarks boots, but these would be great for winter too..auugh..I am such a tart for clothes and shoes!

If anyone spots the brown ones back on sale, could they let me know?

I'm thinking of selling my Ugg Kensingtons to finance my folly!

HateSummer · 14/09/2016 10:13

The circumference of the calf is 38.5cm and the shaft height is 29cm or about 34cm including the sole.

I'm adding pictures! Please tell me they look ok 😜🙏

I just bought these boots and I can't wait for the delivery!

Think you totally rock them!! And they don't look any bigger than mine are!!

CookieDoughKid · 14/09/2016 11:47

Oooo lovely thank you very much Hate. These are a brilliant find. And so slimming on the leg!!

HateSummer · 14/09/2016 13:08

Huck they look brilliant on you! Yes, the gap is about the same. Now we have to wait for Autumn to start!

I love DMs. They may have the discontinued style in stock at the outlet shop in Northamptonshire, for anyone mourning the loss of a favourite
