Honest opinions on these boots please

[AnotheChinHair]

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

Pmsl 🤣

I really like the hiker boot look. I probably would opt for flat over heeled but the laces are fab!

Jesus... worst yet 🤣🤣🤣

The leather is gorgeous the Pikolinos shoes. European shoes always have really good soft leather. We don’t seem to covet it as much in the U.K. Cheap synthetics look tacky in comparison. So I can see partly why you like them Op.

@ivftake1 😂 😂
Goes to show we all have very different tastes!

It sure does! The world would be an even bleaker place if we all thought the same!

Pikolinos have some lovely shoes, great quality. But those in the OP are grim. It's the kind of shoe that makes you plod, you can't walk elegantly on them.

Maybe do some searches for boots for petite women?

I love TK Maxx for boots. A wide range of stuff you don't know you want until it's there in front of you 🤗🤗

Oh no this is turning into a classic sandal thread where everyone is convinced that some fucking hideous Hotter style sandal is the right choice.

Hahaha I love those threads! Always start at the beginning of summer when the weather is turning and the days are lengthening! It's the true start of summer

I LOVE them! I think they are gorgeous.

How about these OP? They are leather and very inoffensive.

I find myself staring at peoples feet in the summer and making judgements on the wearer based on how hideous the shoe is. Those hiking sandals are probably my least favourite but it depends on the foot. I have seen them look good on a tiny tiny percentage of people 😬

Genuinely don’t think I’ve seen more hideous boots on here for a while (apart from anything by Irregular Choice)!

justanotherneighinparadise those are so inoffensive, I actually find them offensive. Not to mention the fact that they're black and too high of shaft.
Sunshiney1981 those are ugly, as pretty much everything in Fat Face is.
I think I might go with what some PP have suggested and change the type of trousers I wear.
I struggle to wear anything that isn't sandals or knee boots, but to be honest if was to show you some samples of either which I wear in summer & winter, there'd be generalised dismay and hilarity, in equal measures.

These?

I’m not mad keen on the snakeskin but the style is fine.

Fat Face things aren't ugly. I've had some great things from there.

You're right, these boots are lovely. I wish they made them in black

Just ordered these last boots from Fatface! Thanks all.

Good luck OP

Im afraid I dont get the love for those awful crinkly platformy block heels.
They remind me of the sort of school shoes they wore on Grange Hill 😂

Oh well if we're doing nice boots, I'm currently hankering after these..

LadyOfTheCanyon I like them, but that's probably a bad sign...

Op you've got a great sense of humour even if you have some slightly questionable boot taste at times

Lasdy those boots are truly fabulous.

Don’t like any I’m afraid. How about a chunky brogue style or smart trainer?

I also like justanither's offering but if it were flat. I think your boots op are ok but again would get a better rating if flat. I'm a fan of a cool shoe over the bland star trek looking boots!
