Would you buy these boots?

I’ve kind of fallen in love with these boots:

But at the moment there is no where to wear them, I don’t really need them, I have plenty of shoes. But they are on sale and even though I can’t wear them now I can save them for after lockdown.

I also love them in white:

But they really wouldn’t go with anything in my wardrobe so I really wouldn’t get my money’s worth.

What do you think? Are they nice? Do I have lockdown fever? WWYD?

If you want them I would buy them and put them away for autumn.

Pipandmum · 07/06/2020 10:26

I like them. I don't have enough of a rock chick vibe myself to carry them off but I do buy things in sales for another season. Just dont forget you have them!
Go for the black ones- the white ones are too costumey.

Bbq1 · 07/06/2020 10:48

Yes, they're nice. I would wear them in black but I don't like the white. They will be nice for Autumn.

WhoWouldHaveThoughtThat · 07/06/2020 11:12

No, I'm sorry you'll have to buy them yourself if you want them. Grin

ErnDincum · 07/06/2020 11:14

I really like them!

kingdomcapers · 07/06/2020 11:16

Prefer the white

Ninkanink · 07/06/2020 11:17

Yes I’d buy both, the black ones for winter and the white ones for summer.

I always buy boots out of season to save money - you’re being sensible.

I say Go for it!

dudsville · 07/06/2020 11:18

I think the white pair is better.

RickOShay · 07/06/2020 11:19

I like them, especially in white. You could wear them now. Ideal.

cherrypiepie · 07/06/2020 11:22

Yes they are stylish. Will hold value so if you don't end up wearing them you can sell them on too.

Foreverme82 · 07/06/2020 11:28

I would buy them in black - you'll get much more wear out of them than the white ones :)

Ninkanink · 07/06/2020 11:37

I’m terrible...I’d buy both.

MrsVeryTired · 07/06/2020 11:46

The black ones yes, think western/cowboy style boots are meant to be having a bit of a thing this autumn. I've got a couple of pairs already so will happily get on with that trend Smile

Eminybob · 07/06/2020 11:52

No, I'm sorry you'll have to buy them yourself if you want them

Aww go on Grin

Well it seems that no one hates them so that’s good. I begin to question my taste when I get fixated on something.

I’m not going to get the white ones. I love them but they’re not practical. I would get both if money were no object, but sadly, it is.

I do enjoy a rock chick kind of vibe, leather jackets and such like so I know I would get wear out of them. I think you’ve convinced me.

like them! you won't need to put them away for later if you are in uk- today would have been a great day to wear them, the cut out makes them less wintery :)

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 07/06/2020 17:27

Oh I love them!

Would absolutely buy the black ones but annoyingly I’m a size 7 which is the only size they’re sold out of!

They’re lovely, totally think you should buy them!

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 07/06/2020 17:30

If anyone wants the white ones, ASOS have them also for £89.50 but they have 20% off sale items on the app

Awrite · 07/06/2020 17:31

I love them too. In the black only though.

I'm sorely tempted.

acocadochocolate · 07/06/2020 17:33

Love them! Wish they made them in a 9!

Cherry321 · 07/06/2020 17:36

And me. I would buy them in 9 Envy

Justgivemesomepeace · 07/06/2020 17:37

I really like them but I'm wondering about the sock situation.

damnthatanxiety · 07/06/2020 17:58

Is this referring to both or just the white? Because whichever it is referring to tells you all you need to know. You don't have anything to wear with them so you won't wear them so don't buy them.

CherrySpritz · 07/06/2020 18:06

I love them. So much so that I’ve just ordered a pair in black. I blame you entirely. 😂

Eminybob · 07/06/2020 18:27

The black ones will go with everything I own damnthatanxiety It was the white ones which won’t, so although I love them I won’t buy them. I have ordered the black ones. Can’t wait for them to arrive Smile

Yes this was one of my concerns as well. I think I’m likely to wear them with tights a fair bit, but otherwise I’ll see if those socks which just cover toes and heels (can’t remember what they are called) work with them.
