Are these 'granny' boots?

So my other boot thread didn't go well, so sorry if people are fed up with boots.. Blush

Anyway I've always thought fur trimmed boots were a little 'old lady' but what do people think of these

Need them for smartish workplace (teacher) and need this length for tucking skinny trousers into.

Opinions please!

I have a pair of Morrell walking boots that are very similar and cost £185!! They aren't granny ish (and I am indeed a granny at 45!!)

Haggisfish · 11/09/2016 20:32

It's all in the way you wear th I think.

Haggisfish · 11/09/2016 20:33

I don't think they will look granhyish as you describe.

Crocodillian · 11/09/2016 20:39

No they aren't at all

SpeckledyBanana · 11/09/2016 20:41

I like them.

SirChenjin · 11/09/2016 20:41

No, not at all - love them Smile (I'm 47 and hope not to be a granny for another 20 years at least!)

SimonLeBonOnAndOn · 11/09/2016 20:43

Frumpy

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 11/09/2016 20:49

No idea if they are granny-ish, but I don't like them, sorry. I think it's the wedge heel, plus the length that I dislike, rather than the furry bits.

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 11/09/2016 20:49

I think they're frumpy sorry. Definitely won't look good with skinny jeans tucked in and that wedge sole is just yuck.

AnyFucker · 11/09/2016 20:50

they are not granny boots but they are mum boots, sorry

get some Fly

cheeseandmarmite15 · 11/09/2016 20:51

I am 50 and wouldn't wear them as they look a bit old fashioned!

Grown up but not too frumpy?

SirChenjin · 11/09/2016 20:57

Fly are over-priced mum boots with a label that makes them OK to the wearer Grin

AnyFucker · 11/09/2016 20:59

ha ! They look much cooler than that teak monstrosity in the op...

SirChenjin · 11/09/2016 21:01

Not often you see Fly and cooler in the same sentence - and there's very good over-priced mum-boot reason for that!

AnyFucker · 11/09/2016 21:01

you think the boots in the op are better, Sir ?

AnyFucker · 11/09/2016 21:02

it's all relative, ya know Wink

SirChenjin · 11/09/2016 21:03

Hell yeah Grin

cheeseandmarmite15 · 11/09/2016 21:04

To be fair a pair of Dunlop wellies wwouls look better than the ones the op posted!

Sorry!

FlamingoFling · 11/09/2016 21:07

They're not the most hideous things I've ever seen. But they're not stylish and they won't look good with jeans tucked in.
