Do these boots look dated?

I love them but they're £££ and I do t want to get them if they look dated. How wound they be with barrel leg or straight jeans?

I’m not sure if they look dated to me but I feel there’s something not quite right about them - I’m not a fan of the dark brown with the chunky black sole. I also don’t know how flattering they’d be - I’d rather they come up a bit higher on the leg, as they’re chunky they look a little off-balance. There’s lots of chunky soled Chelsea boots around, but I think you could find a better version personally!

My concern is are they more 90’s throwback than current trend revisited?
They’re not for me, regardless of price.

I like them apart from the way the heel splays outwards. But I'm not fashionable at all, so interested in the other replies.

Me too

I agree that the chunky, black heel looks out of proportion with the rest of the boot. There is even a lip at the back, where the base looks too large for the upper shoe, making them look poorly made.

From 1996.

Thank you all! You've saved me some £££

I love them op!!! Where are they from?

sleepyhoglet · 18/09/2021 14:18

Remind me of kickers shoes in the 1990s

PeacheyPeach · 18/09/2021 15:12

I think I wore these for school in the 90s loved them 😅

Blondiney · 18/09/2021 16:50

They finish awkwardly, I'd want them to come up higher.

onlyconnect · 18/09/2021 17:15

Forgothowmuchihatehomeschooling they're from Untamed Street.
I want a bit of a heel so I can wear with dresses which is why these caught my attention.

I love them!!

SpamIAm · 18/09/2021 20:18

I think they'd date pretty quickly.

Katshouldnotswim · 18/09/2021 20:21

Love them !

Pinkcadillac · 18/09/2021 20:35

I like them a lot

Are these better?

I like chunky boots but there's something not quite right with the first pair. The Camper ones are beautiful.

onlyconnect · 19/09/2021 08:45

I've just looked up Camper on the Good For You app and they're "not good enough " so I'm not getting those. Back to the drawing board.

postingfortraffichere · 19/09/2021 08:53

I quite like them OP, I wouldn't say they look current though if that's the look you're going for but I wouldn't necessarily say they're dated either.

I think the low cut ankle is what makes them less current

How much are they?

Girlintheframe · 19/09/2021 09:01

Like the camper ones, don't love them but they are nice.

Not keen on the first ones. They look quite dated

KimikosNightmare · 19/09/2021 09:27

I don't know if they are dated or will date quickly but they are utterly hideous.

KimikosNightmare · 19/09/2021 09:28

@onlyconnect

Are these better?
No- just as hideous- and look cheap and nasty too.
LadyCatStark · 19/09/2021 09:29

I’m not a fan of the heel! In fact heels in general are pretty dated, I’d just go for flat ones.

EarringsandLipstick · 19/09/2021 09:30

First pair - 90s throwback. So no

Camper pair - love these
