Are these boots a bit mumsy?

Like them but just worried they are a bit "mum boot". Anyone seen anything similar cheaper?

I wouldn't say they are mumsy but I don't like them

Momboot and ugly :)

They are not nice

How on earth are they 'mum boots'? They are too dressy. I like them though.

I don't like them but tbh I don't like about 99% of the footwear which does get raved about on here so from that point of view they're no worse than many shoes/ boots linked to. If anything they're just a bit bland.

There's a few similar styles on that "personal stylist" thread. Whether such a recommendation makes them better or worse I don't know. I have been dipping in and out of that thread and haven't seen anything on it I would wear.

I'm not entirely sure what "mumsy" means but if anything those boots are not "mumsy" compared to , well, lots of things recommended on S&B.

Depends how you wear them. With jeans - 100% Mum boot. But with a mid-length dress - probably quite chic.

I caveat this with I have no fashion sense at all but if I saw someone wearing these boots with a nice dress I'd think they look elegant. With jeans or any trousers really - definitely Mum boots.

I like them better on a second look.

I thought "mum boots" had low block heels?

Exactly!

Exactly

They’re not that exciting. Would wear them under office suit trousers.

What they are is fashionable. I don't like this style because I remember it from the first time round!

Who cares? If you like them get them. But I don’t dress to fit current trends or styles, I just wear what I like.

These boots are great and I might buy them! Smart work boots! Thanks OP.

That heel looks like it would snap easily.

That's what I thought, too. With bootcut jeans: probably a mum boot. With a satin midi skirt: quite cool atm.

Not mumboot - i love and just bought some - thanks OP

Not mumsy at all. But I don’t like them

Genuine question what is so offensive about these boots that everyone hates?
to me they’re literally normal ankle boots and totally inoffensive
just curious!

I don’t think they’re mumsy at all. They look great and I wish I could wear things like that (but have bunions so can’t).

You like them? Buy them!

I really, really hate the word, ‘Mumsy’ and the phrase, ‘ Mum boot’ is just ridiculous.

don’t like the heel on those, but I’m seeing a lot of that style in advertising pics recently, so it looks like they’re having a moment. Personally I’d prefer a less spindly heel.

Quite classic rather than mumsy. Not edgy. So would go pretty well with most things while not setting the fashion heather on fire.

Which would make them mum boots

I would have thought they're too high and pointy to be mum boots? They look old fashioned to me, but presumably that's because they're similar to what was fashionable in my early 20s and are now back in fashion 20 years later.

I don't like the square toe, the heel is too spindly for my liking and they look quite hard and unforgiving. Definitely 'under office trousers' boots in 2004.

I like them and do not think they are mumsy.
