'Emo' boots. Yay or nay?

I love these boots. As per the title my Dd has vetoed them as emo-ish. Are they horrid? I wear lots of swishy dresses and skirts and am tolerably fashionable given my advanced age. Thoughts please?

What exactly would you be wearing them with?

JollyAndBright · 13/09/2021 17:56

They aren’t emoish.
They are rock chick boots.

I love them.

minionese · 13/09/2021 17:57

Emo boots from R&B...? No...

drpaddington · 13/09/2021 17:59

I love them.

I'm not one to follow fashion treads though so I don't know 🤷🏻‍♀️

LaurieFairyCake · 13/09/2021 18:00

They're great - as long as that's a zip on the side

Otherwise it would be a massive ovary ache to do them up all the time ..

I have to agree with her they do look emo-ish to me.
Wear what you like.
If someone else doesn't like it, it doesn't matter.

billydilly · 13/09/2021 18:01

I'd be wearing them with midi skirts and dresses mainly. I've just bought a lovely long coat too.

I see the look your going for but I don't like those specific boots. But if you do you should go for it because that's what makes fashion fun!

NiceGerbil · 13/09/2021 18:01

V nice

Buy them! You obviously want to!

LST · 13/09/2021 18:02

Love them. And would look great with what you want to wear them with

Personally I love the style of boot but don't like the way they gape at the back. I prefer my boots fit my calf and sometimes even with laces they don't!

That is me being fussy though! Overall lovely boots. Not that you should listen to me, I took delivery of my new buffalo trainers today 😂 (I would say it's because they're trendy, it's actually because I lived and died in platform boots and trainers for Many, many years and feel much more like myself in clumpy shoes)

billydilly · 13/09/2021 18:21

Same! Clumpy all the way here. My legs are quite skinny so a bit of a gape will be inevitable; nowhere near as skinny as the model though...

I like the actual boots but not keen on the sole, there's just something about it that doesn't look quite right to me 😬 If you love them you should definitely wear them 😁

MapleMay11 · 13/09/2021 19:19

I have an early pair of monoliths and love them so obviously it's a yes from me!!

GoldFrankensteinAndGrrr · 13/09/2021 23:15

They are absolutely gorgeous!

fantasmasgoria1 · 13/09/2021 23:20

There is nothing remotely emo or alternative about them. They are black basic boots and if you like them buy them.

FindingMeno · 13/09/2021 23:24

I love them.

AnotheChinHair · 14/09/2021 07:09

I love them

KhoshkaKatya · 14/09/2021 07:14

Bit try hard.

givinglessfucksdaily · 14/09/2021 08:10

Love them ! Go for it !
