Boots - keep or donate these ?

[Grasmereginger]

They're like new as I'm ashamed to say they were in a wardrobe and I forgot they existed. I've lived in some chunky m and s Chelsea boots black suede but these are bit more waterproof. But are they hideous - dare I say it - mum boots (this to prove I'm an old time MN person not a foot fetishist

With the weather we've got at the moment I'd keep. They look cosy and relatively slip-proof. Not sure where the 'mum boots' comes in - they look like something anybody could wear to me.

Like I say "mum boot" was a thing a while back and I'm wary of posting shoe things after hearing some stories about people liking shoes a bit too much. Same could be said of lots of stuff I guess though !

I'd love those boots in this cold icy slidy-under-your-feet weather!

I really like them :-).

I really like them, if they’re a size 7 ish feel free to send them my way 🤣

I hate buckled boots but recently bought a pair - bargain in Jones sale. I chopped the buckle and strap off then unpicked the stitching bit and wiggled the rest out, and they look so much better.

I got rid of a pair similar a while ago, they were comfy but I got rid as I’ve not worn heels for about 10yrs and can’t think I’m about to start. I do think they’d be dated if you wore them the same as you used to (I used to wear mine over skinny jeans)

Don’t look mum-boot to me (black Chelsea boots, OTOH…)

Donate them (to me if they're a 6, I really like them!)

I'd wear them

They’re bloody lovely, another size 6 wearer who wound happily re home them 😂

They are quite contemporary. Certainly chunky enough for an up to date look

I'm quite fussy about boots but I'd wear those. They look perfect for this weather. I love the cosy little bit of fur around the tops.

Donate I wouldn’t wear them

I think they are fine and quite useful in this weather.

I’d donate, these are totally not my style at all.

I like them, but they're exactly the kind of thing I buy then never wear because, in the end, I just like black! Try wearing them and if you're not feeling the love after a few weeks, you could donate them.

I'd keep them. I really like them.

Do you like them though? Do you have outfits to wear them either? Keep them if you do. Personally I like them and would wear them.

They're exactly the kind of thing my 20 yr old daughter would wear. (She does wear a lot of vintage, second hand though).

If you don't like them then get rid of them. They are clearly popular with some posters on here so you could probably flog them on Vinted

Chunky boots in Winter, who cares if they are fashionable, they look sturdy, comfortable and a good colour.
Tan looks good with a brown or black coat, why would you be rid of them?
In snow, sludge, wet, when your leather boots are soaked, despite shoving
them full of paper and propping them up overnight, its good to have another
pair/s, especially furry lined.

These boots are deep soled too, good for gripping in Winter, essential in fact.

We have Trax, they stretch, so you pull them on over the soles of your boots,
they are great, good grippers, keep us upright and confident walking on impacted
snow.

Interesting ! I wonder if it's my tendency to black that is stopping me.
I'm off the skinnies (but await their return!) so I sure what I'd wear these with. Size 4 sorry folks who wanted them but have larger feet

Interesting. Maybe it is buckles putting me off
