I want them but fear my heifer calves would be too big.

Fab bargain though.

Lizzylou · 15/09/2009 11:34

Oh goodness, I so want those.
Will the housekeeping budget take it though????
I need them........

BornToFolk · 15/09/2009 11:34

Me too but they do look really slim...unlike my calves.
Get in there, skinny-calve MNers!

I have ordered them, but I ordered the brown ones and didn't get them so we shall see.

In the (unlikely) event that I do get them, is there a MNer out there with a pair of size 7 browns that might swap...?

Have just ordered, thanks for posting op.

The brown boots from last week, which Office said were sold out in my size, are back on the site in size 5 only here.

Lizzylou · 15/09/2009 11:41

I have ordered them.
Will have to be inventive with the food this month!
I hope I get them now......

chattermouse · 15/09/2009 11:44

OOOhh thank you stillfrazzled!!!! I have wanted these but stopped myself following MASSIVE boden spend for me and the kids. At £40 i will take the extra hit though! I have ordered them in size 7. Should be fine as calves are skinny as heck. I know some people did not get them last time, so here is hoping that ours show up soon!

chattermouse · 15/09/2009 11:53

Just looked at Schuch online and the same boots are retailing for £124.99! Oh i do hope they show up!

chattermouse · 15/09/2009 11:55

By the way, did we ever decide what happened last time with the £40 boots in brown? Was the posting at £40 a genuine mistake on office's part or just some kind of promotional gimmick to get traffic to the site and attract new customers?

Dunno. But I remain convinced that there's only one kind of dark brown boot and they pulled a fast one, for whatever reason.

These are so tempting, I got some of the brown ones @ £40 and a complete bargain.

thehairybabysmum · 15/09/2009 11:58

Thanks so much...missed them last week, though got some fly shoes for £30 though. Have jsut ordered the brown ones.

might have to reconsider my non-religous status as theere clearly is a god as i am a size 5!!!

tattycoram · 15/09/2009 11:59

Chattermouse, I got some of the brown ones last week. Came in two days and only £40.

brokenspacebar · 15/09/2009 12:10

Not sure I could stand the disappointment again! lol, I am also a size 5, my order was cancelled last week.

WhereTheWildThingsWere · 15/09/2009 12:10

I think these will be fine ladies, the page doesn't look like last week they are clearly stating that these are reduced, I missed the brown ones dithering last week and I hate black footwear, shame.

geordieminx · 15/09/2009 12:14

Just measured my calves - 39cm... there isnt a snowball's chance in hell of them fitting so will not bother... gggrr

brokenspacebar · 15/09/2009 12:14

Ruby there is a review on amazon, people were happy with the sizing, though they are slim fitting....

chattermouse · 15/09/2009 12:15

God, i hope you are all right! I would love to get these!

Ruby - i have not ever tried them on sorry so don't know re fit but people on here say they are tight on the calf.

Lizzylou · 15/09/2009 12:16

Well, if they ever do show they probably won't fit me as I have wide fat size 8 feet and my calves whilst slim for my 5ft9" sturdy frame could never be called willowy!

Oh well, it was good whilst it lasted

TheBalladofGayTony · 15/09/2009 12:16

i just tried to pay twice and nothing so i am giving up

chattermouse · 15/09/2009 12:16

Think Lulumama said they were 35cm on calf, can anyone confirm that or am i remembering it all wrong?
