Thoughts on these boots?

They're fairly pricey but I think I'll go for them IF they're comfortable. Anyone had R & B boots before? What's the sizing like?

I'm not sure I like the big eyelet at the top. But £325?? 😮
I wouldn't pay that for a pair of boots.

Personally, I don't like the big eyelet at the top but R&B boots are amazing quality so if you think you will get the cost per wear out of them go for it!

Ludicrously expensive and pretty ugly. I could afford that but no way on earth I would pay it.

I don’t like them at all.

There are lots of similar styles to this in all around the shops.

They're ok but I wouldn't pay that for them!

I have R&B boots. I bought them 6 years ago and they're still going strong so value for money yes. They are true to size and good if you have narrow feet.

Not worth the money to me. Obviously, thay is just based on the pics. Maybe in person they're amazing.

I don't really like the length or the eyelet. Definitely not ugly, but no, I wouldn't spend that, even if I had money to burn.

I love them 😍 they’d look great with jeans and dresses. But I like big boots- I just bought Grenson’s Nannette

I don't like them, they look very hard and uncomfortable and not quite right, also don't like the big eyelet thing.

I tend to buy Kurt Geiger boots though, and have a couple of pairs that are a similar style but more pleasing to the eye. They have lasted for a good few years.

I buy a lot of RB brogues, and they're good quality and very comfy once you wear them in. They're on the larger side, I find - I'm normally a 6 but wear 5.5 in RB.

One thing worth pointing out - they wear down VERY quickly for me, and I have to get them resoled every 6 months (£20 a pop). Could just be me though.

I think you can find nicer boots than these btw. They're not very RB...

Nope

I love Grensons Nanettes! But I don't like these at all. Go for the Grensons over these, every day of the week. Again, based only on the pics. Maybe I'd be bowled over in person.

They look like something from shoe zone!

Not my thing at all.

shoe zone! Yes, I think that eyelet does manage to make them look a bit...downmarket / shoe zoney tbh. Which wouldn't be such a problem except for the price.

Lol at Shoe Zone. They don't look cheap in the flesh, so to speak.

I'm not entirely sold on them though, hence asking opinions. I've spotted a pair in Hush for £199 so may go for those instead. I do like the look of this style though

£325, no way.
They're nice enough, but 50, maybe £70 absolute max, and I say this as someone who wants DM Wincox which are more.

Ha, yes, Shoe Zoney is right.

I don't like them, they remind me of steel toe-capped boots.

I prefer Grenson Nanettes. I don't like the gold rings.

Of the hush boots this year I prefer the Buxton to the bibury but would need a big discount code!

They are eye wateringly expensive.

I think Doc Martin's are much nicer looking and cheaper. I have some from the 90s that are still good to wear.

Also, at that price you will need to employ someone to drop carpet squares on the floor for you to walk on!

Oh god no I definitely wouldn’t buy Hush boots for £200 over Russell & Bromley! R&B are great quality and well worth the money. I actually quite like the boots and I’d wear them if I hadn’t just come out of a black and studs phase. They wouldn’t work for me now but I think they’re really nice.

They won’t look ‘shoe zone’ in the flesh - you can tell good quality when you’re up close and personal.

R&B do come up very narrow IME.
