They are lovely and guess they are comfy. What are you planning to wear them with? They would look good with dresses and tights and mom type jeans. I think if wearing with skinny jeans I would put on some chunky socks to break up the silhouette. Definitely keepers though!

I think it is the laces, they look a little flimsy. I would change them!

These would be good

They are nice boots by the way 🙂

They’re nice and I really like the style. They’re a bit shiny for my liking though. I’d much prefer them if they were a bit more matte. But they look good on you and they’re a good price.

I like them ! And you have great legs so they are good proportionally.

You could put a sock on if you wanted to look more casual but I also like the lean look of skinnies to boots unbroken ifswim.

They're alright just tighten the laces so they're not big loops.

PhoboPhobia · 12/02/2022 08:33

I agree with @JDandC, the laces look wrong. You need something more sturdy and a bit shorter. Otherwise they’re really nice boots.

Thx all. That really helps. I'm late 40s and feel like I've lost my sense of style and judgement over lockdown. I want these for casual wear with jeans and leggings to get me out of trainers for a change. I'll look into getting better laces and give the chunky socks look a go too.

I agree it's the laces, and if they are long wrap them round the boot and tie at the front rather than leaving big loops.

I like them (don’t have a view on the laces) and I agree about mum/straight jeans rolled up or cropped and I agree with dresses and tights. I’m sorry but I don’t like the skinny jeans or leggings options and so I’m going to suggest something very controversial… joggers (see pic) [hides]

Love them
You look fab

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 12/02/2022 15:48

Love them, but agree about the laces. Swap them fit thicker, round laces, like waking boot laces.

ChickenStripper · 12/02/2022 15:50

Great brand and price. You will wear them forever! Love them.

IAmTerrible · 12/03/2022 22:25

I've got these and I love them. I usually wear them with skinny jeans, but have tried them with maxi and knee-length dresses & they worked well.
