huck your red ones look fab! I think they look better worn out tbh.

They look brilliant on you Dave!

I'm wibbling about mine now. The gap looks massive to me when I wear them but dh thinks they're fine...I've never worn boots with a gap like this before. I'm thinking of bulking out my legs with leg warmers or really thick knee high socks when I wear them (hopefully it'll be cold enough). Need to find good quality thick socks/leg warmers now. First time ever I hate my skinny calves 😒..

Hate I think they look ok in the photo where you have bare legs, although obviously you need to feel happy. I am not sure they are meant to be tight ones. I also have slim calves so will probably have the same problem if I order them.

Got my red ones, they're gorgeous. No gap worries for me, my chunktastic calves stretch them to the limit! There's a lot of give in them. I will wear them with dresses. Lovely boots. I want the black ones too...

DavetheCat2001 · 20/09/2016 16:41

Hate I think they look great on you.

Your legs look pretty similar to mine, and I actually think them not being skin tight is a good thing.

Are you going to keep them?

DavetheCat2001 · 20/09/2016 16:44

..I do think they need to be worn in a bit though

Gingefringe · 20/09/2016 16:50

My red ones are due to be delivered tomorrow - I think I must have got the last pair in the sale (size 3) cos every other size was sold out.

HateSummer · 20/09/2016 17:25

Thanks join but my pic was the one with jeans and the gap looks wider when I walk.

I'm wavering dave. I do love them, I'm going to try with leg warmers or thick socks and see how they look before I decide. I think wearing them with tights or leggings is out of the question now!

hate
Enough now.
we have a boot gap that people aspire to in the same way others have a thigh gap GrinGrinGrin

They are just as wide on me, and my reds ones are the same. Wear with pride my boot twin!!!

Jointhejoyrun75 · 20/09/2016 18:25

Sorry, hate, misread the pics. I honestly think the boots look great on both you, Huck and Dave! I am definitely going to get some - just sad there is no money off the black ones!

DavetheCat2001 · 20/09/2016 19:22

I emailed the Dr M store customer service and they said they were not going to be getting anymore in, so perhaps they are a discontinued line?

Hate I honestly think they look great on you, not too much of a gap at all.

oh no sorry katie!

You can still find them - what size are you looking for?

I got mine from Scorpio Shoes:

Just not at the discounted price that some of the previous ladies were able to snap up.

I'm surprised everybody is raving. They're the sort of boot that don't look great off but look fantastic on. I bought some similar about 2/3 years ago in Germany. I've had loads of compliments. And I've worn them so much, really versatile.

dalek · 20/09/2016 21:32

Very jealous - my feet are too "high" for DMs

HateSummer · 20/09/2016 22:03

Thanks everyone! Grin I guess it feels weird having a gap there; I'll believe you lot! But just incase, I've found someone link "boot cuffs" on the boots thread on here. They're like knitted bands for around the calf. I'm going to buy some and try it out as well. And they look quite nice too.

I'm sorry for all those who missed out on the offer...they were on sale for about a week before I posted on here, because I did "uhm and aah" about them.. then they were gone within a day or 2. The power of MN! I'm glad they're still being sold elsewhere.

DavetheCat2001 · 21/09/2016 08:28

I think that once they are sold out in other outlets, you'll struggle to find them apart from on eBay maybe?

Glad you got some Katie..can't wait to wear mine Smile

DavetheCat2001 · 21/09/2016 08:50

I ordered some lovely snuggly cable knit tights from White Stuff to wear with the boots when it gets colder.

I only ordered them yesterday and they just arrived!! Vvv impressed with that and they are so cosy and lovely. Bring on the winter!

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

Look fab, Dave, I love the colour of the tights and they go so well with the boots!

HuckfromScandal · 21/09/2016 10:11

Love love love Dave!
Off to order!

DavetheCat2001 · 21/09/2016 11:47

Hooray!

We should ruddy well get commission the amount of business we put to these retailers!

HateSummer · 21/09/2016 16:50

Wow, they look great dave! I agree the colours go so nicely together.

Yeah the retailers must be enjoying their free advertising!

Why have I only seen these boots now? Sad

Are they true to size?

Off to look on eBay now...
