Or will I look like an extra from the bay city rollers?

I love them

RelicHunter · 30/10/2018 20:06

I was ready to say, 'Bay city rollers" but after looking at them i think they could actually be quite cool provided you teamed your outfit carefully. E.g. Black trousers with those boots or a long black skirt with pleat in front?. What would you wear them with?

MyGastIsFlabbered · 30/10/2018 20:06

I love them. No idea what I'd wear them with. I just know I need them!

They are fabulous, I want them too now, just on the back of the "Bay City Rollers" comment. 7 year old me had the biggest crush

SuperstarDJ · 30/10/2018 20:12

I was expecting to open the link and laugh but I actually quite like them if they were styled right.

LoveManyTrustfew · 30/10/2018 20:13

They are trending, but they are not here yet. IYKWIM.

B A Y, B A Y C I T Y, with an R O L L E R S, Bay City Rollers are the best.
Sang that in primary school with my friends Grin

MikeUniformMike · 30/10/2018 20:15

You love them so get them.

Mokepon · 30/10/2018 20:16

Totally awesome.
I want them.

They are punk, not whatever the BCRs were.

Hi OP, have a look at boohoo's eBay outlet store, currently there's an offer on so £26.25 (£2 postage) so may help you to decide!
I like them BTW

RavenLG · 30/10/2018 20:30

They are punk not from boohoo they're not lol.

I really don't like them, it's the shape not the tartan though. If the heel looked different, or there was some buckles or something they might look better, but if you like them go for it.

TokyoSushi · 30/10/2018 20:56

An erm, bold choice OP!

AnnabelleLecter · 30/10/2018 22:04

I love them.
They are the kind of boots I would have bought, put them on occasionally, then took them off again and put them back in my wardrobe.
Unworn in the outside world.
I've learned my lesson now.

maddjess · 30/10/2018 22:10

I really really really like them!! Fuck it gonna order

SinglePringle · 30/10/2018 22:11

I think they look cheaply made. If they were beautifully cut / shaped etc, they’d be great but they look like they cost thirty-odd quid from BooHoo... So it’s not the idea I dislike, it’s rhe execution.

dontgobaconmyheart · 30/10/2018 22:19

Not against the idea of tartan boots at all actually, I like the idea buuut that's expensive for Boohoo i think- they're very bright so I'd struggle to style them and most importantly god do they look high and uncomfortable. If you're accustomed to walking in high heels probably a different story entirely. Not jealous of people that can walk all day in them at all Envy...you go for it OP if you like them though!

ShopoholicIn · 30/10/2018 23:06

Love them

NoCureForLove · 30/10/2018 23:08

They are (imo) truly minging. If they are 'punk' then I'm David Cassidy.

Pasithea · 30/10/2018 23:13

Heel too skinny and high I would fall off them.

HairyArmpits · 30/10/2018 23:41

Neck breakers for me but I do like them.

DontCallMeCharlotte · 31/10/2018 11:09

I do like them but I really like the M&S kitten heel version.

3TresTrois · 31/10/2018 11:17

You like them, so buy them.

But it’s a massive no from me. You’re not going to get much wear out of them, are you? Unless you want to be known locally as Bay City Roller Woman 😆

MoltonSilver · 31/10/2018 11:59

They're not awesome.

Highlove · 31/10/2018 15:11

Sorry I’m in the no camp. I kind of like the idea if they’re styled right, but these look cheap.
