Someone please take advantage of this obvious misprint on the Office website.

I checked and it does stay at £40 when you add it to your basket. No idea whether it will get all the way through the process, but it is worth a try. I have a pair already, so it is no use for me.

how about I swap them for the vba2c baby? He's beeing a right pain at the moment, but pretty good most of the time.

Actually, just noticed DogAgain posted further up/down saying she got them and they fit, so I guess today is Norbert's lucky day.

NorbertDentressangle · 09/09/2009 17:36

Oh wow! Excited

Must have missed DogAgains post.

Lulu -I'll CAT you now but they can take a while to come through IME.

Thank you!! (and sorry to the others in the queue)

Oooh, I'll have to wear them to the Worcestershire meet-up later this month

Heathcliffscathy · 09/09/2009 17:39

vacaloca · 09/09/2009 17:40

Well done Norbert .

Can I join any other virtual queues for a size 5 or 6 if they don't fit?

LuluMaman · 09/09/2009 17:42

cocolepew · 09/09/2009 17:47

I'll take any 5s if anyone doesn't want them

NorbertDentressangle · 09/09/2009 17:53

Heathcliffscathy · 09/09/2009 18:04

hey lulu. think about you everyday!!! with a big reminder next to my bed!!!

LetThemEatCake · 09/09/2009 18:08

Have had an email from Office saying that boots have been despatched - but doesn't specify the colour . Since I ordered the £125 browns and the £40 blacks, i am thinking it's prob the browns.....

LuluMaman · 09/09/2009 18:20

am sending lots of good vibes your way , soph

SoupDragon · 09/09/2009 18:56

Mine have arrived... they are sitting in my hall awaiting my unwrapping attention...

bubblerock · 09/09/2009 18:56

If I don't get my 5's and anyone has them that don't fit can you think of me pretty please

SoupDragon · 09/09/2009 19:16

"if they offer something at a certain price the law says they must honour it."

No, actually I don't think it does. The price is an "offer to treat" and they can withdraw it at any time. It used to be the case that they had to sell at the marked price but that changed a while ago IIRC.

TBH, I'm not surprised the stock levels weren't accurate given the amount of people who rushed to order at that ridiculous price.

SoupDragon · 09/09/2009 19:17

Mine are a 7 and fit perfectly (might have to tighten the buckle a notch though )

they didn't look distressed until the puppy had a chew on the toe but were clearly returns as all the stuffing was loose in the box.

LuluMaman · 09/09/2009 19:18

tht;s right i think,soupy.

gutted mine don;t fit

leothelioness · 09/09/2009 19:24

ohhh are there any 4's floating about I think there were only 5-7 right but if there are any that don't fit i'll take them pretty please

nappyzoneisback · 09/09/2009 21:25

ooo i missed a parcel today to be delivered again tomorow when im not in again - where they delivered by ups or is this missed parcel something dull?

sophietom · 09/09/2009 22:04

Mine were delivered today- yes by ups nappyzone
I'd agree with Soupdragon that the leather isn't distressed (although mine didn't look like returns they seem in perfect nick)
I don't think there is any difference between these and the dk brown ones at full price the box had two stickers one saying MOL DK BROWN the othe DK BROWN RUG
Can't wait to wear them

nappyzoneisback · 10/09/2009 15:51

Got mine today - fell in love with them immediatly - lovely colour, smell so comfy on the foot then.......... i almost cried because clearly they are made for people with calves like bamboo sticks because mine owuldnt fasten and certainly wouldnt over trousers. Gutted . Anyone got any size 7's to swap or thnk the 7's would be any better? I would love to swap for a 7 and failing that someone at work wants first dabs on them.

vacaloca · 10/09/2009 17:08

nappy, you got size 6s then? I would LOVE them if you can't find anyone to swap with. I'm really sorry they don't fit though, because they do look gorgeous.

vacaloca · 10/09/2009 17:09

Sorry, in my excitement I didn't read that properly. I've just realised someone at work has already asked for them. I'll calm down now.

nappyzoneisback · 10/09/2009 17:32

Oh sorry you will have to calm down alot now because i was showing my neighbour them who assured me they could fasten and by sure stealth and determination she squeezed my leg in and fastened them both - at the time i was wearign shorts about to mow the lawn with a t shirt as its v hot today so looked a sight for sore eyes!! Anyway apparently leather boots im told are made to be tight on calves because leather gives alot so if i wear them and perhaps spray with water if need be they will stretch and they will be wearbale and wide so for the time being i am wearing them in , so if your didnt fit give it a whirl..... I love them and am nearly happy again

ButtercupWafflehead · 11/09/2009 10:42

Well, they cancelled my order gutted!

Anyone with some 5s that don't fit, please give me first dibs!

mustrunmore · 11/09/2009 11:14

Poor you, is that the first one cancelled?

flowerybeanbag · 11/09/2009 12:06

I had a cancellation last night, due to 'limited stock availability'. I notice from their website that both brown and black options are in fact in stock in my size so that's obviously rubbish.

However as I know they won't fit me anyway thanks to Lulu providing measurements, I am not going to get up in arms at them, and will accept graciously the 20% discount they have offered me as a 'sorry'.

Does anyone know anything about the calf-high ones, are they very snug as well? I like them but don't want to end up with muffin top legs...
