Are these nice or hideous?

these

For wearing with dresses and winter clothes?

Clearly I’m not feeling decisive!

I didn’t know there were that expensive!

They have these exact pair at a catalogue surplus place near my work for £30! I looked at them only today.

I don't like them but I can't figure out what it is about them I don't like. The sole? The tweedy tongue?

I'm a big Moda in Pelle fan and they do a lot of leather high tops like these and these (although both out of stock). They're not a million miles away from the ones you posted and one even has a very similar zip but I like these much better.

They look like male shoes. If you are a woman and planning to wear them, then please don't. Hideous

They're better in Black, still not great though

I’m not being funny Winter but if I was in a relationship with a man who wore such monstrosities on his feet when we were out together then I’d be gently telling him it’s me or the shoes. Doesn’t matter if they are meant for men or women...they are hideous either way!

MrsMouse03 · 07/09/2020 22:56

Just No!

HerNameWasEliza · 07/09/2020 23:03

My gran would love them.

sunnydaytomorrow · 07/09/2020 23:21

Ewww I think you need to see how the people who like those awful monstrosities actually dress themselves before you take any style advice from them. Bloody awful

markzuckerbergsgreytshirt · 07/09/2020 23:28

Hideous. Absolutely hideous.

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 07/09/2020 23:29

Er no

Enough4me · 07/09/2020 23:33

My nan used to wear similar shoes, about 15 years ago she was not fashion conscious

Burgerkitty · 07/09/2020 23:49

Awful!

Girlzroolz · 07/09/2020 23:58

They’re Vera boots, from the telly!

She can carry them off with a floral shirt, corduroy skirt, thick stockings and a khaki trench. And always a skinny scarf plus sensible rain hat.

Unless you’re channeling Brenda Blethyn then best to keep looking, pet.

Somewhere in between. I’ve seen a lot worse and they look quite sturdy. As @Ironmanrocks says, a bit like monkey boots in style, which isn’t a bad thing.

sugarlakesville · 08/09/2020 04:17

No, maybe with jeans but they are hideous

TeeBee · 08/09/2020 04:25

Vile

eaglejulesk · 08/09/2020 04:41

If you like them buy them - no-one else's opinion actually matters.

MrDarcysMa · 08/09/2020 06:52

Don't do it

Bluesheep8 · 08/09/2020 13:51

Hideous, sorry

I think they might be comfortable for walking through the woods etc.The are not hideous though, just footwear for a certain purpose.
