To wear with navy ankle trousers. I am short so ankle boots with a higher shaft reach the bottom of my trousers and doesn't look very good: www.pikolinos.com/uk-en/llanes-w7h-8512.html?color=BRANDY

I have tried these ones on but they're quite spectacularly ugly, and I don't usually mind an ugly shoe as long as it has the height and comfort I need: www.office.co.uk/view/product/office_catalog/2,33/1517762064060

Cheers

Oh God they're hideous! Sorry op.

rainbowstardrops · 23/10/2020 06:22

I don't like them, sorry but each to their own!

MrMeSeeks · 23/10/2020 06:27

Awful absolutely awful.
Seconds ones not my cup of tea but better

Lazysundayafternoons · 23/10/2020 06:30

I wouldn't wear them but they would suit some people/styles.

IsolaPribby · 23/10/2020 06:30

I think they're great! And if they are comfortable, so much the better.

The second pair surely look lovely, but couldn't wear them for any length of time!

damnthatanxiety · 23/10/2020 06:32

I can't imagine anyone looking good in those. They are orthopaedic looking. Please. No.

Ooftaboofta · 23/10/2020 06:33

I like them! Why does everyone hate them?!

Livebythecoast · 23/10/2020 06:45

The first ones look okay in the cream colour Smile

icelollycraving · 23/10/2020 06:49

They are really ugly. Sorry.
The Office ones are just a link that says not found but with some heeled ankle boots. Are they the ones you like or is my phone doing something weird? They are so different in style to your other choices. They are better but definitely not comfortable looking.

OhTheRoses · 23/10/2020 06:52

I don't think either would look good with navy ankle trousers. There are much nicer boots out there.

FippertyGibbett · 23/10/2020 06:54

They look very 1960’s.

Ewanispurple · 23/10/2020 07:05

They remind me of 90's heeled Kickers but not as cool! If I had to go for any, I would the first pair in dark red..

AnotheChinHair · 23/10/2020 07:06

I am quite used to my choice of footwear eliciting this type if response Grin Grin Grin.

Can you make some suggestions for me? I'd like a comfy chunky heel, wedge, flatform, at least 6 cm.

Is this any better?www.pikolinos.com/uk-en/vicedo-w7z-7925.html?color=BRANDY

Oh dear God...no OP! I think they might be worse!

Calledyoulastnightfromglasgow · 23/10/2020 07:11

Ummmm I don’t like the office ones .... but love the picolinos ones! They are fabulous!!! Why can’t others see that? Will look great with the trousers you describe.

ivykaty44 · 23/10/2020 07:14

They remind me of the shoes that 6th formers wore in the 1970s

AnotheChinHair · 23/10/2020 07:16

Well are you going to help me save myself then? What can I wear that gives me height, is comfy and looks good with navy ankle trousers? Come on, let's se what you've got!

ivykaty44 · 23/10/2020 07:18

I like the wedge style, but I’m bias as I like wedges

OhTheRoses · 23/10/2020 07:19

Bearing in mind the boots you want I'd ditch the navy ankle trousers.

ivykaty44 · 23/10/2020 07:22

I agree get different trousers

justanotherneighinparadise · 23/10/2020 07:22

I shall have a look after the school run 👌

AnotheChinHair · 23/10/2020 07:23

Okay then. Let's say black trousers then. What you've got?

OP posts:
MondeoFan · 23/10/2020 07:24

I like the wedge style ones

SBTLove · 23/10/2020 07:25

Good god the shoes on that site are dreadful, is it specifically for 70+ middle class women driving volvos? Hideous!
Why navy trousers??

drumandthebass · 23/10/2020 07:26

They'd look lovely with traditional Austrian dress. Yodeleyeehoo
