Are these Mum boots or just wrong boots or could they be ok boots?

I was looking for Chelsea Boots but they were making my feet look so long. These are a bit higher.

They are to wear with skinnies mainly and biker jacket/grey wool boyfriend coat. My style is pretty minimal.

They are from Clark’s I’m doubting my purchase...

Mum boots IMO but / and very nice indeed. I want them. Might even buy them. And I have pretty decent taste in shoes I think.
Are they comfy?

I think they're good. Too chunky to be a MN mum boot. They'll look nice with the outfit you describe.

Although I'm not keen on elasticsted panels but that's just my personal taste.

I have these in the lace ups, love them, I dont think they're mum boots as like enid says they're too chunky. They are my go to daytime winter boot perfect height for tucking jeans into.

drizzle they’re 30% cheaper in Debenhams £45. That’s what clinched it today. They seem pretty comfy.

I have a fear of Mum boots so needed to ask.

Also- with that height I tuck the jeans in right? If I’m rolling them up they’d near be shorts.

Yes tuck your skinny jeans in, its winter, will look ridiculous otherwise.

Ah Enid.... elasticsted panels.... yeah hmmm... I know what you mean..

I like them.

Almost bought a pair a few weeks ago but the store didn't have the size in stock.

I wouldn't call them mum boots though - they are a bit too 'stompy' for that

They are not Mum boots. I like them.

There's no such thing as mum boots. That was crap from the user formerly known as cod.

Haha I have these, they are super comfy and go with most clothes. Not sure what mum boots are but I wouldn't class these as that

I’m really easily lead- hence asking for approval. Looks like I’m keeping them

I love the term mum boot! 😂

Dare I ask, what are Mum boots? Please post photos to illustrate.... (I suspect I own some.... Practical? Comfy? Waterproof? Slightly agricultural?) (actually those words describe most of my clothes, not just my boots 😂)

LOVE these...especially in burgundy or navy. Definitely not frumpy. Am sorely tempted...do you think they'll be reduced again after Christmas?

I love Clarks for their reliable sizes, comfort and quality...am clearly verrrrry old, but having sore/cold feet is not on my daily to-do list

In my opinion this is a Mum boot. Hilariously called "matron". Generally worn with jeans, fleece and large handbag.

OP those are lovely.

I like 'em.
What's more is that I am currently wearing a very battered pair of Clark's tan Chelsea boots, 4 years old and. The best boots I've ever owned. I love them. Don't let where they are from out you off.

What's the obsession with whether something is a "mum boot"? If you like them, get them. I think they are fine.

Mum boots generally look like you are wearing pigs trotters!

Those Matron ones are def. mum boots.
I think I have mum handbag.

They are cheaper on Amazon.

What is a Mum boot? And why does anyone care what anyone else thinks of them?

I’ve had these. They split along the side within weeks. Took them back to exchange. Same thing happened. I wasn’t impressed.

They're fine, I'd wear them with bootleg trousers or jeans.

Just having a look at their sale and saw these. Are these a bit daft or what. I don't get it, my toes would be cold.
