I've just ordered these ankle boots

[itstheyearzero]

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 can't ever remember seeing someone's boots and thinking "they look awful". I either think they look nice or they don't register. If you like them, buy them, don't worry that a stranger on the Internet thinks they are mum boots. I'm just fascinated by the idea that people are making a judgement about my winter footwear as I'm out and about.

Also, if someone declares"mum boot" are they just automatically right? How do we know what shoes they are wearing? Why does their opinion trump mine?

I like them, I'd wear them with opaques and a jersey tea dress :)

I rather like them and I almost never do on these kind of threads.

They're just OK for me.

I like them, and the sainsburys ones. Am pondering these, but not sure if I'd get the wear out of them.

Well they arrived and I think they are gorgeous. However they are a bit too big on the ankles and with me having skinny legs they just don't look right. Gutted .

The search continues...

I love those mog!

The definition of a mum boot has definitely evolved to the point where it now pretty much takes in any boot which is not high fashion and a poster doesn't like.

Buzzard they're lovely aren't they I just wonder how many years I'd get out of them for them to be worth the money. Might order abd try on then decide

Someone is selling those on EBay for £55 mog, if you happen to be a 5.5?

Ah no I'm a 4 but thanks anyway

Ha! Same here!

I fucking hate the phrase, 'Mum boots.' Makes me spit.

I hate spitting...

But I like the boots from next.
