Are my ankles to skinny for these boots

Hi!

I'm having a nightmare trying to find some boots that I actually like.

I've found these I like the style of but I think my ankles look silly. Just wondered if you thought the same

I'm in our spare room (dumping room) the rest of my house is tidy!

I think they are too big.

I also have crazy skinny legs/ankles so watching this thread with interest. 99% of ankle boots just look to clumpy on me Sad

Honestly, I think they do look like they're too big. Not just the ankle but the actual boot too.

You don't look like you have particularly skinny ankles tbh - they look just fine!

It's looks more to me about the style of boot and no, they aren't very flattering imho.

They look too big.

SoupDragon · 18/01/2019 17:51

I have this problem too. It's not been helped by skinny jeans!

If you think they look silly then you are unlikely to feel comfortable in them.

mamamamaheyhey · 18/01/2019 17:51

What are they like with a chunky boot sock rolled down inside?

ShatnersBassoon · 18/01/2019 17:52

I think it's the boots. They look out of proportion.

Tiredismymiddlename85 · 18/01/2019 17:53

Yes too big I think.

EdWinchester · 18/01/2019 17:53

Yes - that does look silly I'm afraid.

It does look silly.

I don’t think your ankles are the problem at all - it’s the boots! They don’t really look the right size for you either.

I wear loads of ankle boots that fit snugly, and I’m a slim/petite size 3 so if I have loads of options, so could you!

If you’re asking about whether you should start wearing those boots: no unless you have no other options.

If you’re asking where to find similar but nicer shoes, try office? I really like topshop and Zara’s options recently too. ASOS has loads of brands.

How can you tell if they're the right size from a photo?

Smellbellina · 18/01/2019 18:14

It’s the magic of mumsnet! People just KNOW stuff

They do look huge. I've had loads of nice comments about these

Thanks all, they fit my feet but seem to go wider at the top. I bought 3 other pairs from the same place and they were the same but I didn't like them.

I'll be sending them all back

Those boots for would be too wide for anyone unless they had actual elephant legs!
