Ash Jess boots? Cool or not?

I've just collected a pair I got from Brand Boudoir for £80, the topo suede ones.

I'm not sure about them, I mean I like them , but I don't know how much I would wear them. Also £80 is a lot of money, though they are £150 full price!

They only had size 5 and I'm a 5.5 , they are a bit tight thought not uncomfortable, do they give at all?

For that price they have to be perfect and for you they aren't!

Your not sure about them and they aren't even the right size.

My opinion on the doesn't matter but il give it anyway, that are ok. They aren't my thing but there's nothing that screams terrible but then there isn't anything that screams wow to me either. If I saw them I wouldn't have a big reaction either way but there's nothing wrong with them.

I would return them only because of the size. I mean if you pay 80 pounds for shoes, it has to be the correct size. Otherwise you will find yourself avoiding them and opting for something comfier.

There are hundreds of versions of the same boot across all price ranges every autumn (at least, there have been for about 5 years) so I would return them.

TheMightyMing · 02/08/2017 10:52

PN that's what I was thinking too. I think I'll return them. Thanks all :)

I do like them a lot but think it's silly to keep them if the wrong size.

TheMightyMing · 02/08/2017 11:57

I'll try them on later and decide , I'd had a very long day travelling from the NW to London and back in a day when I first tried them on I'd imagine that's going to make anyone's feet expand a bit :) thanks all!

I think I would definitely struggle to justify full price on them...

Theycalledmethewildrose · 02/08/2017 12:03

I would return them due to the sizing.

I've been there, bought the shoes, worn once and remembered the discomfort and reached for a different pair every other time I looked at them!

Going against the grain, ash boots are amazing. They do give, and mine are so comfy equally barefoot or socked. They go with everything and have magical leg slimming properties and best of all, the heel doesn't feel tricky to walk in (i struggle with heels!) I've just bought my second pair and they're a little snug despite my first pair being a little loose so i'm sure they'll give. Plus on the ash website it advises that they give.
So i'd keep them.

Update - I've got these Jigsaw Cara boots being delivered to store £44.00 in the sale, just hope I can get my trotters into them - actually prefer them as they are slightly higher :)

Jigsaw staff very helpful indeed on the phone and In store.

I love the jigsaw boots, mine arrived this week

TheMightyMing · 10/08/2017 22:04

Lovely ! Oli- how do they size? I had to order the 5 , I'm sometimes a 5 but sometimes a 6, they only had a 5 ( a recurring theme!) . They let me try a similar style in instore and to be honest there was little difference between the 5 and 6. Fingers crossed !

OP posts:
Ollivander84 · 10/08/2017 22:08

Confusingly! I'm a 7 or an 8 but their 8 is a 41 which is a 7 elsewhere Confused
Anyway I got the 41 and they're perfect

TheMightyMing · 10/08/2017 22:38

Now I'm confused! Will wait and see thanks x

Ollivander84 · 10/08/2017 22:46

They're very comfy, the heel doesn't feel mega high either

TheMightyMing · 10/08/2017 23:02

I'll wear them loads if they fit .

Thank you! Just bought Jigsaw boots in navy and chocolate- hope they're not too big

PookieSnackenberger · 12/08/2017 19:42

Me too! I've just bought these in the sale in navy thanks to MN! I'm hoping they fit OK but they are an amazing bargain in the sale.

TheMightyMing · 13/08/2017 20:17

I tried some navy ones very similar to the Jess but this season , they were lovely. I just tried them in for size before I ordered the Jess in the sale.

Not the Jess boots but the Ash Hurrican boots - I'd been stalking these online for a while and finally caved.

That said I do like the look of the suede Jess boots in black.

TheMightyMing · 24/08/2017 20:33

My Jigsaw Cara Boots finally arrived to collect ! I love them , tiny bit tight but I think they will give. Really pleased £44 bargain x

Glad you like the jigsaw boots. Can I ask - are the Ash ones more grey or brown?

TheMightyMing · 25/08/2017 08:40

Ash are more brown than grey. Here are my Cara's
