Are these boots a bit mumsy?

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

Describing something as Mumsy just smacks of internalised misogyny.

God forbid a woman who is also a Mum dress in clothing that isn't following the latest trend. Even worse if she opts for something practical or comfortable.

You never see flannel shirts or chinos described as "Dadsy" do you?

They are sheeps leather so I suspect very soft. I like them

😂😂😂

Mumboot? Is that a thing? Hahahaha

When I picture 'mumsy' boots or shoes it would be something flat, practical, probably fur lined, laced up, and waterproof... maybe in a 'quirky' colour or fabric. Nothing wrong with that but it's basically the opposite of these!

I have a similar pair (from m&s) and I like them. They're classic and I'm reasonably sure they're currently considered stylish, as I've seen them featured on Who What Wear and similar fashion blogs for a while now. The Cos ones are more fashion forward, but I think that curved heel would date them quickly.

If those feel a bit too classic for you OP maybe have a look at some biker boots or chelsea boots instead, which are definitely in style and more comfy/casual.

And heaven forfend if she is the following the latest trend but it's a revival of a trend she followed when she wasn't an old crone.

I was thinking about these. Or are they too clownsy?

Biker and Chelsea boots are an entirely different vibe though. Both very useful boots, but a very different vibe to what the OP seems to be looking for.

I dont think so? I thought that referred to a pasty pot bellied type

I bought a pair last year from Fly of London. Their style this winter is very different.

I like OPs choice

I don't think there mumsy at all. They are elegant and I would say for a very well dressed woman

However good boots do not come cheaper then £149

I have ones very similar to ones in the OP. I've worn them with ankle grazer straight leg jeans, dresses and skirts. they go with everything. I might get the silver too.

No but possibly grannyish 🤦‍♀️
Seriously, there ok if it's your taste but a no from me because I dont like stiletto type heels Although they're a bit thicker still too thin for my liking in a boot

🤣

I think they are lovely - just a nice classic style.
I considered myself to be pretty stylish but now questioning that on the basis of this thread!

I wouldn’t select these over a biker or Chelsea boot, they are a completely different style for a different purpose.

Who cares what others think. Along as you like them and are comfortable that's all that matters

Mum boots are boots designed not to impede the wrangling of small children on the way to primary school. They tend to be foot-shaped and flattish.

I don't think these boots qualify.

Personally don't like heeled boots!

Oh my god, I had the Nine West version of these in the late 90's! Square toes and weird flat heel and all. Only difference is the heel wasn't covered in leather.

Missing the point I suppose, though I assume if I had them as a 20 yr old in the late 90s, they're the style of mums now. 🤔

Why should mum be a negative word.
But they're not great

Nope. 90s and 00 clothes are what everyone is wearing now. My dd pays a fortune for it on Vinted. Wish I'd have kept my wardrobe from back then!

They're too impractical to be Mumsy. They look like boring, dated office wear.

I really like them. Not sure what mumboot means. Or mumsy for that matter. What's wrong with being a mum? (says she who has no kids)
