Just that really. Probably very comfortable, but would they look naff or frumpy? And could you wear them with skinnies?

If you like them and they're comfortable etc etc
But since you ask, dreadful.

ThirdTurd · 12/10/2016 12:22

Horrendous. Look like ortho boots

Floralnomad · 12/10/2016 12:22

Dreadful .

featherpillow · 12/10/2016 12:28

I'm a bit like you op. Cant make my mind up.

They look good on the model wearing them. I'd order them and see what they look like on.

moomoo222 · 12/10/2016 12:28

Just horrible, agree with pp, look like orthopedic shoes!

Darkswan · 12/10/2016 12:29

Dreadful

IBelieveTheEarthIsFlat · 12/10/2016 12:30

No no don't do it

FuckyNell · 12/10/2016 12:33

I've got a similar pair and yes they're fugly but soooooo comfy for work when I'm on my feet all day.

BagelDog · 12/10/2016 12:33

I have them. They look ok with slim trousers. Not amazing but fine and smart enough for work. And they are bliss... I do 13 hour shifts running and standing on concrete floors and they are worth being a bit less than stylish for the comfort...

FuckyNell · 12/10/2016 12:34

My ones

I'd rather chop my feet off than wear those...don't do it op!

pictish · 12/10/2016 12:36

They're ok. I think you could have something just as comfy but a lot more stylish though. They're not awful as such...just a bit bland.

Nearlyadoctor · 12/10/2016 12:48

Ok if you're over 80 I suppose!

burnishedsilver · 12/10/2016 12:51

My first reaction was 'dreadful' but they look ok in the picture. They could go either way but I think you could make them work.

They are terrible. My elderly mum would wear them as they would be nice and comfy and keep her from falling over if it was icy.

fruitatthebottom · 12/10/2016 14:03

Well they are not very nice to look at and certainly not very stylish (in my opinion) but ultimately if you like them and comfort is important to you then why do you mind what we all think here? Go for it if they are what you want.

fruitatthebottom · 12/10/2016 14:05

I think you would be in danger of your legs looking like golf clubs if you wore them with skinnies.

PNGirl · 12/10/2016 14:09

Those are similar to what I used to wear in retail when I had a uniform of black bootcut trousers and a purple shirt and similar to the shoes my MIL used to wear as a district nurse i.e. "I have no opinion on these but they're black and comfortable". If you're wanting them for fashion wear then a big no from me.

FeliciaJollygoodfellow · 12/10/2016 14:19

I prefer Fucky's. I'm all for comfort but unless you're wearing them with something that covers the top I wouldn't. I don't actually like the side of them.

Oops soz about the double post.

nilbyname · 12/10/2016 14:29

There are Chelsea boots on that site that are much nicer

flirtygirl · 12/10/2016 16:47

Too expensive for something that ugly.

RebelandaStunner · 12/10/2016 16:49

Waaay beyond dreadful
