don't get them. Is it a shoe? Is it a boot? What the feck is it??

(Opinion may be slightly coloured by poster's cankles).

okay. Good. so for once we agree on something.

I think they are all horrid, even the Louboutins.

and I will not be buying shoe boots. I am not doing A/W shoes this year.

But I am sure there are some nice ones out there. But I do find them a bit weird looking, think they are the sort of thing that I would just get used to after seeing them all season and go, oh yes shoes boots, lovely! and then realise that Spring was a week away.

...like what?@noddy

I always think they look frumpy with trousers and tarty with skirts. But I am willing to be proven wrong!

if you can bear to go into Primark, I got some lovely heeled shoeboots from there

zip up the back, tartan lining, kind of scrunched at the toe

£12

LetThemEatCake · 28/08/2008 22:15

LOL Mattie, you know me too well, how can this be, have chnaed my nickname and everythng!!

I do have a pair of Louboutins but they are black and classic. and work well with my Madonna-circa-Holiday wardrobe. Pink bra peeking, peeling, peeping and all.

Shoe boots make my legs look fugly.

noddyholder · 28/08/2008 22:18

Mine are like the m and s ones but with a thicker heel.I really want the r&b ones they come in black or purple or patent slight platform and tiny peep toe LUSH!!!!!!!!

MrsMattie · 28/08/2008 22:18

I am ignoring the credit crunch in order to have lovely boots this winter. Fuck Gordon Brown and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. When my house gets repossessed and I am thrown on to the pavement with my possessions in carrier bags, at least I will be doing it in lovely, shiny new riding boots!
