I've just ordered these ankle boots

And want to make sure I'm not committing a style faux pas. I like them because of the colour, the heel height and the fact that they don't come too far up the leg. Oh and the price is pretty good too. Thoughts?

I posted some black ones last year and was told they were Mum boots so I just want to make sure I'm not straying into that territory this Autumn...

I really don't like them. I find them too clunky and not particularly stylish. Each to their own, however.

beeny · 22/09/2016 14:44

Sorry they look awful

RainbowDashstolemyidentity · 22/09/2016 14:49

I like them, think they'd look good with skinny jeans. I'd wear them :-)

Buzzardbird · 22/09/2016 14:50

I like them, I bought a similar pair yesterday. You can always return them if you hate them when they arrive.

these, worried now

melibu84 · 22/09/2016 14:51

They are ok, but, under, "we think you'll love", I saw these ones, which i think are nicer

MaxineRockatansky · 22/09/2016 14:52

I like them too.

Really dislike Malibu's pair.

Buzzardbird · 22/09/2016 14:53

They are not leather though melibu maybe was after leather?

itstheyearzero · 22/09/2016 15:31

Like =3, dislike =2, OK=1. Hmm. Oh well they arrive tomorrow so I guess I'll wait and see.

See I think the ones melibu linked are less stylish than mine, but heck, what do I know? Confused

Buzzardbird No one mentioned a material, I was just giving a suggestion. The OP asked for thoughts, and that was mine. Jeez.

burnishedsilver · 22/09/2016 15:36

I like them.
If they were black I'd wear them (I never wear brown, so nothing against the boots).

Buzzardbird · 22/09/2016 15:37

I only ever wore black and then decided that black looks dodgy with denim jeans. Tan looks so much better. I have no idea why.

Buzzardbird · 22/09/2016 15:40

Think you took that the wrong way melibu, I wasn't slating your taste, I was pointing out (in a nice way) that the OP might have deliberately chosen leather as they are more practical. I have non-leather boots also but they are only good for dry nights out rather than school run in the rain iyswim? :)

melibu84 · 22/09/2016 15:47

Buzzardbird oops, apologies for my oversensitivity! :)

LuckySantangelo1 · 22/09/2016 15:49

I like them. Chunky footwear is very fashionable at the moment. I'd wear them with black tights and a mini skirt.

Buzzardbird · 22/09/2016 15:49

It's ok, stroppy mare. Grin

Cocolepew · 22/09/2016 15:50

If you like , them that's all that matters Confused
Everyone has different tastes.

cheeseandmarmite15 · 22/09/2016 16:13

Sorry but I don't like th op's ones. They are a mix of casual and smart and the heel doesn't look right.

I prefer the ones Melibu linked to.

Just had a quick look on TK Maxx and only liked the Prada Chelsea boots, a couple of Rockport and Aldo ones.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 22/09/2016 17:57

I like the ones in the OP.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 22/09/2016 17:58

If you like them, can afford them and they suit your style/needs buy them. It really doesn't matter what we think. You'll get a split between love, hate and completely indifferent on here, so it will be meaningless anyway.

Buy the damn boots if you like them! Grin

SunsetBeetch · 22/09/2016 20:39

I like them, OP Smile

FranklyMeDeer · 22/09/2016 20:41

I like the upper but not the heel, it looks a bit, I dunno, glued on maybe? Hard to tell until you try them on though.

FranklyMeDeer · 22/09/2016 20:43

And what Remus said about bollocks to what we think, most of MN probably hates my boots Grin

Iamabuyingbootsaddict · 22/09/2016 21:26

I love a brown boot, looks great with jeans especially. I also love wearing mine with a skirt and opaques, these would probably look good like that too. If you like them, that's what matters. Enjoy them OP.

DavidWainwrightsFeet · 22/09/2016 21:30

I like them but then I'm a sucker for that sort of laminated heel.

DragonitesRule · 22/09/2016 21:33

Sorry I do think they look like mum boots. Think it's the blocky heel.
