Yeah sorry, I think they are.

batteriesgoing · 06/12/2020 12:44

Sigh so comfy too

I agree with him

user1274245 · 06/12/2020 12:44

Meh. If you like them and they make you feel good, who cares?

GregoryRowling · 06/12/2020 12:45

Yes! Send them back!

DartmoorChef · 06/12/2020 12:45

They look warm and comfy. And they look fine too.

user1274245 · 06/12/2020 12:45

I don't think they are.

chipsandgin · 06/12/2020 12:47

A little bit yes, sorry! Loads of comfy boots about which are also not old lady though, worth a post on here if you give an idea of what you’re looking for/purpose & budget!?

Thefirstnohell · 06/12/2020 12:47

God forbid you look like an old lady Shock Wink

Congratulations on your new baby btw!

I wear my old lady boots in the house as slippers. If I need to nip out for something it means I don’t have to change- but I try to keep the soles very clean. Then I have my more uncomfortable but nicer ones to wear if I go out

MrsRogerLima · 06/12/2020 12:48

I think they're fine. Warm, comfortable, lovely colour. What's not to like?

MrsRogerLima · 06/12/2020 12:50

P. S i'm 34. Certainly not an old lady!

batteriesgoing · 06/12/2020 12:52

I need something flat and warm, easy to get on for the school run. Dh suggested uggs but I'm not sure. I always think they look sloppy quickly.

I'm 35 and I like them. I think with ugh boots if you get genuine ones then they last well. I got a nice pair of lined leather boots from superdry 2 years ago that are lasting well.

HollyJollyDillydolly · 06/12/2020 12:58

I think they're fine for the school run, it's not a fashion show you need to be warm and comfy. Xmas Smile

SquatBetty · 06/12/2020 13:00

A bit, they look seriously comfy though

Chloemol · 06/12/2020 13:07

No they are not

CutToChase · 06/12/2020 13:08

They're horrific

Nonamesavail · 06/12/2020 13:09

No. I'm 33. I'd wear them. Why is old lady even a thing. Better than hobbling in uncomfy ones.

MoltonSilver · 06/12/2020 13:09

Very much so. Also, suede that colour will get wrecked really quickly.

cakeandchampagne · 06/12/2020 13:14

Maybe your dh can find some warm & comfortable boots you think are “old man-ish” and you can both enjoy the winter. Xmas Smile

BusterGonad · 06/12/2020 13:21

They do remind me of old lady slippers, do you remember at school the photo of the slipper left over after an old lady apparently died of spontaneous human combustion. Those. Real Uggs do not lose their shape, only knock offs.

waitinggame108 · 06/12/2020 13:31

Yes very

FippertyGibbett · 06/12/2020 13:33

No. They’d look great with some skinny jeans.
