oh good jesus - noooooo. don;t do it!

hoxtonchick · 28/08/2008 22:47

i have got them! in black. they are very comfy & slightly welly like (but i do have skinny legs - the one skinny part of me...) & i want it to be autumn now so i can wear them. so i think you should buy 'em (but i did get 20% off).

brimfull · 28/08/2008 22:47

if not yes you will look ridiculous

Megglevache · 28/08/2008 22:47

I wouldn't wear them with red trousers and a coat with white fur trim you know.

Really don't like them - sorry! La Redoute have a nice patent boot in rather more subtle shade of black or brown! Much cheaper at, well Ok not much - about £130, but you'd use a discount code and knock them down to £95.

BlueberryBeret · 28/08/2008 22:49

Lol - I read the second pair as "please note, if you are a larger size you may wish to rethink this style"

Megglevache · 28/08/2008 22:49

I hate the green heel ones but I do think they could look noice.

Megglevache · 28/08/2008 22:50

Fabulous for Xmas with white mohair cardigan and red a-line skirt

pgwithnumber3 · 28/08/2008 22:59

Yeah, but you could get 3 for the price of the one pair from Boden! Plus DH would be made up!

FlightAttendent · 28/08/2008 23:00

La redoute ones. Lovely fit, I sent back because too shiny for moi

Megglevache · 28/08/2008 23:06

OP posts:
FlightAttendent · 28/08/2008 23:12

Brown - they were nice boots. I didn't really feel I suited the shiny though.

You might well! I am Mrs Dull colours by nature...

Good god.

minorbird · 29/08/2008 00:02

Ooo I like Flight attendants ones... although it says 'to fit slender calves'... hmm, it has been said that i have calves only a cow could love...

FlightAttendent · 29/08/2008 06:44

I have v slim claves (not always a blessing!) and didn't find them that slim. You could pull them on Ok, don't think they had a zip?
