These boots aren't entirely hideous are they?

Here
I am prepared to be corrected but I thought they would be good to go with shortish skirts or jeans. Well?

no they aren't hideous in the slightest.

they don't exactly knock ones socks off either

but they aren't ugly.

controlfreakinfreaky · 05/09/2008 23:13

not ENTIRELY hideous.... but doesn't one like to aim a little higher than that when contemplating a style purchase??

pgwithnumber3 · 05/09/2008 23:13

Do you want the truth or the... truth?

I think they are awful! Sorry! Bit cheap looking.

hf128219 · 05/09/2008 23:13

They look a bit 80's to me.

I just don't like cowboy boots, sorry. Would definitely avoid wearing with a skirt, surely something knee-length would be more flattering?

Megglevache · 05/09/2008 23:14

They're ok, a bit boring. Mind you, you should see the kind of footwear I think is ok

Carmenere · 05/09/2008 23:15

No you are of course right, they are almost hideous, not quite but almost, and that just isn't good enough

No

handlemecarefully · 05/09/2008 23:16

I don't like them.

Plus they are not very practical are they (pale coloured - rain streaked and grubby all too soon)

If they don't shine in your mind like a sparkling diamond then don't buy them

Megglevache · 05/09/2008 23:22

that suede/leather waterproofer is v. good though.

twinsetandpearls · 05/09/2008 23:23

Dull and cheap looking.

S1ur · 05/09/2008 23:24

Sorry I don't like them either, but if you're after cowboy ankle boots I saw a couple earlier when looking for someone else...

buckles

yee-haw

plainer

or perhaps?

mrswotzisnotin · 05/09/2008 23:32

Slur that last link made me when I saw the price
and they were thye look like something Johnny Depp would wear.

Carmenere · 05/09/2008 23:42

expatinscotland · 05/09/2008 23:43

Carmenere · 05/09/2008 23:46

Carmenere · 05/09/2008 23:50
