Do I need these boots?

I have black, brown and beige Chelsea boots. Black and black patent work ankle boots. Do I need these boots?
I like these as they don't look to be too high on the leg as I am short.
I will be wearing them with jeans, maybe a pair of leggings and very occasionally a skirt (if they look alright)
I prefer the patent, but the plain leather might be more useful?

Love them!!

FairyHuck · 10/10/2021 10:27

I think you need them op

NalPolishRemover · 10/10/2021 10:31

I have whistles Asha boots which are fairly similar & I love them. I don't wear them with skirts / dresses so far but love wearing them with wide legged cropped trousers, tapered ankle length trousers, straight legged jeans with a turn up & barrel leg jeans

HollyandIvyandAllThingsYule · 10/10/2021 10:33

Yes you definitely need those boots.

I’d go for the leather for aesthetics and for longevity but patent is nice too.

bluecandicane · 10/10/2021 10:38

You need them where are they from?

Isabelle70 · 10/10/2021 10:46

@bluecandicane they are Gabor Prissie, so far I have found them on John Lewis and Moda In Pelle

Yes you do .
They are so , so much nicer than the over chunky boots that have been featured recently .

I much prefer the natural to the patent .

Ilovetheseboots · 10/10/2021 11:26

Just to say I have them in leather…. They are the most comfortable boot ever.

BikeRunSki · 10/10/2021 11:28

I don’t know about you OP, but I need those boots!

Wagsandclaws · 10/10/2021 11:34

I've got too many boots and I need them too Grin

NalPolishRemover · 10/10/2021 11:36

I have just seen that they're Gabor. I have Gabor Chelsea boots & they are the most comfortable & most worn boots i have...just putting that out there

Isabelle70 · 10/10/2021 12:00

@Ilovetheseboots how do you find the ankle height? I don't want my ankle boots to be under the knee boots😀

Looks like I need to get them in leather which seems to be out of stock!

Shuddering at the thought of beige Chelsea boots.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 10/10/2021 12:59

Looks like I need to get them in leather which seems to be out of stock!

But if your heart was drawn to the patent ........... are they in stock ?

(Lots of enablers on here )

DareDevil223 · 10/10/2021 13:03

Great, now I need them too and I already have loads of ankle boots...I prefer the leather but I don't like patent as a rule.

ShrinkingViolet9 · 10/10/2021 13:05

Yes you do. And now so do I.

Isabelle70 · 10/10/2021 13:58

@Joystir59 they are a tan rather than beige if that makes them better, about 6 years old.
@70isaLimitNotaTarget I think I have seen the patent in a local shop, I will check them out tomorrow and in the meantime stalk the net... I think the leather will be more practical and I will get more wear from.

Joystir59 · 10/10/2021 15:13

Tan is much better than beige

Derrymum123 · 10/10/2021 15:31

Yes you neeeeeed them. They need to be ordered ASAP, so the shop doesn't run out. Maybe get both patent and leather so they don't get overused. Do it now.

Ilovetheseboots · 10/10/2021 15:46

They have them in stock in Freeman’s and Robin Elt shoes. The leather is super soft and insole I slightly padded under ball of foot. I am a 6.5 and bought the. 6.5, but I do like a slightly wide fit which seemed to work for me in this style. No rubbing at all. Wish they did them in tan Wink

Isabelle70 · 10/10/2021 18:32

@Ilovetheseboots Thank you for the tip 😄 I was on no spend October but seem to have purchased the boots from Freeman's with a discount and VAT off for £71.

Wow that’s great hope you like them.

Italianmeringuebuttercream · 11/10/2021 18:07

Good for you op! I just bought some grenson nanettes and I wear them with dresses to work and they're so comfortable! I justified the cost because I needed hiking boots and boots smart enough for work so these tick both boxes Grin

Pliudev · 11/10/2021 18:33

Just sold some almost identical Ecco boots on Vinted for £30. So I really didn't need them (or suit them) but I think you probably do!
