Quick! Are these mum boots?

[GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal]

I suspect they are, but they've had great reviews.

Oh, that link looks weird, sorry.

Buy them if you like them.

I wouldn’t say so, I think they are nice and that is coming from someone who thinks Joules stuff is boring.

Do you care what snipy MN self-styled S&B gurus think?

They are a bit. Not chunky enough.

When did "mum" become such a pejorative word? Is it a synonym for bring dull and frumpy? That's a shame.
Wear what you like.

FFS, what is this?!

I like the boots, get them.

I don't like them but they're not horribly offensive.

Well I do t like that phrases..... but I also don’t like those boots. The aren’t chunky enough for the buckle detail.

Would loo fine with dresses and tights but I think would look naff with jeans

I was going to say yes, too mum boot, but then I saw the price and nearly ordered myself a pair

Ha, that's the thing, isn't it? I don't think I even like them, but the price...and the reviews say they're comfy...

I had the same thought re: fine with dresses but not with jeans. And I hardly ever wear dresses!

I think they’re fine, and great price.

The link doesn't work but but they if you like them.

They're heavily reduced for a reason (and still available in every size), they have a cheap look about them. They're definitely not a biker boot, they're a normal boot with some extra metal bits on them.

No idea what mum boots are.

Buy them.

I like these a lot more, but suspect they'll be that stuff, cheap leather that runs your heels raw.

Stiff not stuff leather!

I like them but I hate big chunky boots. I hate the jeans and big chunky boots look, I'd happily wear them with jeans. I'm tempted to buy a pair.

They just look like a normal pair of boots to me. Do people really pay so much attention to what other people wear and whether someones boots go with their jeans?? I must have made some huge fashion errors in my time as I'd think it perfectly fine to wear those boots with a pair of skinny jeans.

What he hell is a mum boot? I had a pair like that in the 80s when I was a teenager.

That's the problem - I don't know!! I just know they're A Bad Thing.

The second pair you linked are hideous.

Don't do it op!

They look cheap, which is why they are so heavily reduced. Don't let the bastards get you! You don't even like them. No!

Sorry, bit bossy . I got taken in by sales a month or so ago and now have boots I don't like and feel terrible about buying them. Like you, it was the price that got me!

I bought a pair of Joules leather boots in the sale last year, they were a bargain and very good quality. I would go for it.

I hate the other ones though, so I’m probably not the best judge 😬
