Can someone help me get these boots out of my system, or say something that will just make me buy them, unless of course I am wrong as I suspect I might be...

Its wrong really, isn't it?

Or is it?

Help.

Someone just help me clarify this in my head. I'm thinking for slopping round with in skinnies in winter, maybe popping to the shops but nothing much more.

Is it sad snow bunny on acid or apres ski chic.

Help.

They are vile. They look like something a day-glo orange 'glamour' model would wear. Dont be so silly, woman!

Flamesparrow · 04/07/2010 16:12

They are hideous.

Picture winter... the teeniest mud splatter...

EvilTwins · 04/07/2010 16:14

Maybe for fancy dress.

Thank you for the reality check. I think it was actually the mud splatter thing that got me in the end...

Absolutely bloody hideous to the first pair. Children will point and laugh at you as you walk by, and with good reason.

Second pair much better. Not my thing, but much better.

piratecat · 04/07/2010 16:39

wrong and waggy

cornsilk5793 · 04/07/2010 16:42

janeite · 04/07/2010 16:45

Why is it that goatskin is un PC but suede is not?

Are goats suddenly more worthy than cows?

First pair vile. Second pair rather nice. Ignoring what animals you kill to get them. Also ignoring price.

FellatioNelson · 04/07/2010 20:29

Oh good God, yes. So wrong. Even in winter it would be wrong. But in July you need sectioning woman. Get a grip.

FellatioNelson · 04/07/2010 20:32

Ok, just seen second pair which are infiinitely better, even if they do look like you stole them from a navvies' portakabin. Are those actually new?

mamalovesmojitos · 04/07/2010 20:32

are you being serious? . fuggedaboudit.

Fimbo · 04/07/2010 20:35

First ones are yukkity yuk.

Second pair - save your money, Next will have something similar for about £70

TheMoonOnAStick · 04/07/2010 20:36

Ooh, sorry the second pair are lovely.

Not keen on the first pair. How on earth could they stay white, dry or do the job? They'd have to be indoor boots
