What do we think of these boots

[Squash34]

What do we think of these boots to dress up jeans and a jumper in a comfy kind of way? Too much? Or ok? www.fitflop.com/uk/en/shop/f-mode-stack-leather-chelsea-boots-p-E2J#090

I wouldn't, the Customs people would be drilling holes in the soles to see if you are trying to smuggle drugs or explosives.

I love them! Thinking of buying them now!! I’m 49 and will wear them with jeans and leggings and jumper dresses 😍

I read dressing up in a comfy way then the link came up like this on my phone... Personally I am not quite ready for full on Muppet theming. I thought you'd all gone mad or I am getting very very old😂

Not for me. Look ugly

They look very clompy. Also wouldn’t like the idea of them being pull ons, too hard to get on and off.

Clodhoppers or what?!

Not for me, too clompy

Too much platform, not nice, just look odd. It's a no from me.

@Squash34 - I don't think they look as good as the lower Fitflop boots, but they did send me a discount code for this weekend only - 22% SDAY22 so am passing it onto you

I love platform boots but these look ridiculous. They look like they didn't finish making them!

Look at Rieker, they're orthopaedic

Boris played the Monster 😉

I like them

Obviously, you do you. Personally a hard no for me, they are fugly. But maybe with the right wardrobe….

i have Vivaia boots and they are super comfy.

I think they’re worth ordering and trying with your jeans. It’s hard to see what they’d be like with a normal outfit and seen from a more ordinary angle. Give them a try, if they’re awful send them back.

A friend who struggles with shoes has just ordered a pair of Lanx because she says they have walking boot soles (Vibram). Would they be worth a look? Also Birkenstock have started making boots, too.

That is so kind thank you ❤️
Thank you all for your honest opinions and suggestions too XX

I have these, and in the tan suede too.
I have Achilles issues and have had plantar fasciitis so nearly all my footwear is FitFlop and renders me pain free.
I agree with others they do look a bit ugly from some angles, and the black more so than the tan ones but I like them with straight jeans and a big jumper, loose shirts etc and they are so so comfortable and I can walk miles.
No ankle wobble, they feel really stable but when I take one off I really thump down to floor level with that foot before I get the other one off 😁 they really are quite high.

Has a podiatrist recommended them to you? Or this brand (I know it says podiatrists approve but you should check before, I think, if these are right for you, before spending £170). Style-wise I imagine them more for younger women in the manner of wearing really ugly clothes thereby highlighting their youth and beauty. If you're not in your 20s, these boots will look eccentric and/or just pure ugly. Fine to be eccentric as an older woman, but do be aware that that's the path you're taking.

Fugly.

I know and see plenty of women over 50 in this style of boot because they are comfortable and in my opinion, go with everything. I’m one of them and got a pair last year in the Cos sale reduced from £290 to £85. Super comfortable and unlikely ever to wear out

Well I like them! I love a clumpy boot and fitflop are usually v comfy. The lower ones are fine but a lot more boring (no shade, I have a nearly identical timberland pair!). I think you need to try them irl, they might be awful but they could be great!

Very Baby Spice

I love a Fitflop boot but I have the F-mode with the smaller platform, honest to goodness the comfiest boots I've ever had.

I love them! But they fit my style well. I'd wear them with black skinny jeans, black t-shirt with a print on and a leather or or cropped puffer jacket.

Someone would need to pay me much more than £170 before I agreed to wear those boots

Herman Munster wants his boots back. Dreadful.
