Oh, I've been looking at these. I can't decide on these dm's or the Ugg Bonham Chelsea boots.

7Worfs · 01/11/2019 20:29

Thank you, I’ll be getting a pair, now to decide the colour

oohnicevase · 01/11/2019 20:29

Fuck the boots , where are the combats from ? 🧐🧐🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

pigletpie2177 · 01/11/2019 20:32

Oooh @AnyFucker those are lovely! Like @Junobug I've been looking at bonhams as I have them in black and have worn them most days for 3 years and love them, but these may sway me...

Lastbustowhitehawk · 01/11/2019 20:34

I bought the very same boots last winter and can confirm that they are bloody brilliant.

CornedBeef451 · 01/11/2019 20:35

I like them! I had some green DMs 25 years ago and inexplicably got rid of them at some point.

Are these nice? Drunk me bought them on Saturday after a very boozy, celebration lunch. I went out in heels before remembering that no amount of alcohol enables me to wear heels for any length of time. Very nice, very young woman in Debenhams seemed to think I was hilarious. The boots are very comfortable, I spent the whole journey home telling DH how lovely my feet felt.

My nickname at work for many years was Margot....I don't know if it was because I looked like her or that I told everyone that I wore marigolds for gardening! Anyway, AnyFucker has never been a Margot in my mind...and the boots and trews suit my vision of her beautifully!

Ellapaella · 01/11/2019 20:51

Love 'em. Do you think they would be any good for wide feet? I'd love a furry pair but I'm not sure added furry padding would work with my spades.

Ninkaninus · 01/11/2019 20:57

@Ellapaella 👋👋

I’ve not been on the thread in forever because, quite predictably, I was spending too much! And now I’ve decided to give MN a complete break for a while (possibly forever), so please please would you pass on my regards to all the hushistas? I might still PM you... 😊🌷

BursarsDriedFrogPills · 01/11/2019 20:59

Can I just say how violently I agree with this? :
This is NOT the outfit I saw when I read of / thought about you Any Fucker.

AF, you lokk brilliant. Have googled the boots. Am v tempted...

AnyFucker · 01/11/2019 21:05

In Office they had black and butterscotch (the ones in the pic)

In Schuh they also had dark purple which nearly swayed me but I wanted a lighter colour really

In the DM shop they also had green in the same style which looked unusual but a little too welly for me

My feet are medium width I would say. I would recommend trying them before buying online if you have wide feet.

@OohNiceVase the combats are from a local boutique. Twenty quid.

@AnyFucker ... nice ! 😍

SinglePringle · 01/11/2019 21:26

Oh, I didn’t for one minute mean AnyFucker doesn’t look great - I love the boots and trousers!

Bellyfullofbiscuits · 01/11/2019 21:29

Nah , not for me. Look good but unremarkable.

Ellapaella · 01/11/2019 21:39

Nink we miss you on the thread... don't be a stranger, hope to see you back at some point in the future Thanks

AnyFucker · 01/11/2019 21:40

Belly, what is a "remarkable" everyday boot ? Serious question.

MontBlancHonk · 01/11/2019 21:47

I agree. I always had AF as a very prim, Oasis ladylike type.

The boots are nice though, although I'm going to carry on thinking of you in kitten heels.

AnyFucker · 01/11/2019 21:49

I really hate kitten heels

I'm disappointed to be honest
I thought @AnyFucker was actually Jo Brand
Nice boots though

MsJaneAusten · 01/11/2019 22:51

i always had AF as a very prim, Oasis ladylike type.

Prim? Noooo. It’s the fact that this is the first pair of DMs that had me confused.

I’m a little concerned (excited) that I may know AF though. We’re you wearing those trousers to work today? In a northern town?

MsJaneAusten · 01/11/2019 22:52

Were

GwenCooper81 · 01/11/2019 22:55

They are a thing of beauty. I saw a woman wearing the same in the Aldi carpark yesterday and fell in love with them there and then. Sadly out of my budget. Look amazing with the combats ❤️

SirVixofVixHall · 01/11/2019 23:03

I have been fancying those, DMs have never fitted me well as I have a true wide foot, with a high instep, so narrow at the heel end. The heels on DMs are wide and so rub, and the leather is so rigid. But I have chilly feet and the chelsea boots looked softer.
Have they allowed for the fluffy lining or do you need to size up ?
I am a five and a half, five sometimes if they are wide enough, and DMs don’t do half sizes which is annoying.
I really want that fluff though. Blundestones fit me nicely but no fluff, and the soles wear out.
