I'm just looking for new boots for autumn. Thinking of getting some flat black boots and some small heeled ankle boots also in black.
I currently have black leather riding boots, black suede knee rocket dog, flat laced brown boots and brown slouch boots.
And that's it.

I like boots to wear with dresses and skirts, so all of mine go down at the front centre, which looks better than straight tops.

GlassOfPimms · 19/08/2020 21:36

I love my boots although don't ever have as many as some of the PPs (boot envy!) I nearly put some on today as the weather was so bad!

I have:

Long slouchy black suede heeled boots
Brown, chunky flat ankle boots
Black smart heeled ankle boots
Black cowboy style boots

I would usually buy a new pair but probably won't this year as struggle to buy shoes online and I can't bear wearing a mask for any length of time so am not shopping in stores. It'll be good for my bank balance!!

I've got my eye on these beauties tho www.mintvelvet.co.uk/product/Finny-Black-Suede-Ankle-Boots/29683

Giggorata · 19/08/2020 22:01

I have a ridiculous amount, in many colours and styles, but many of them are decades old. I take care of them, with re heeling, cleaning and boot shapers; and trot them out every so often.

I'm going to buy black timberlands in September.

Eminybob · 21/08/2020 21:19

I have a zillion pairs of sandals and balerinas but am not a boot girl.
I have a pair of brown leather 3/4 Fly London flat boots that I wear with practically everything if its too cold/rainy to not wear boots, and a gorgeous pair of black Ted Baker angle boots for more formal winter occasion.
And that’s it. Genuinely can’t see any reason to own any more.
