I want some of these summer boots. Trouble is, my feet'd be wet through most of the time, living where I do. I suppose I could wear them as slippers.

I do not need them!

Thank You Bags - I quite like the boots and having had a quick look at the link they are now coming up as an advert on my facebook page. This has replaced Jingle's Turquoise M&S Frock, which I liked too but have 'gone off' after seeing it thrice daily for the past two weeks.

Oh dear Jenty I remember wearing those boots too, I thought they were fantastic. Brings back memories!

thatbags Sun 29-May-16 18:36:32

And I'll probably wear socks just to be totally OMG!

thatbags Sun 29-May-16 18:35:47

I spend a good deal of the summer in wellies and hiking boots because of the climate and the terrain where I live, so holey boots would be like sandals wink, and besides, as one or two people (people who've seen what I'm like shockgrin) have said, they'll suit me. Not sure about yellow... I think I'll go for the tan.

Jane10 Sun 29-May-16 17:26:02

That's harsh. They're quite cute. I could easily see thatbags wearing them. They would suit her.

Maggieanne Sun 29-May-16 15:51:26

Well, I looked at the boots from the link and I've now had an email from the company asking if I'd like to order!!! Not really, just my opinion, but I think they are awful, and they probably don't do my size anyway!

Tudorrose Sun 29-May-16 15:46:23

What boots? Where are they?

sluttygran Sun 29-May-16 15:16:28

I really want these boots. The thought of getting spotty feet in the sun has put me off a bit, tho!

moobox Sun 29-May-16 13:22:38

Well done to whoever caught on to the fact people really do seem to wear boots most of the year, and came up with a summer one as a fashion item. I don't like the claustrophobic feel of boots especially in indoor venues, so only wear mine in snow

sweetcakes Sun 29-May-16 11:55:32

I only have one word to describe the boots Hideous but if you like them buy them.

Jenty61 Sun 29-May-16 11:24:22

was thinking why on earth would anyone wear boots in the summer! then on reading Shinyredcars post I remembered I used to wear white cowboy boots with tassles in the summer in the early 60s ?

Lona Sun 29-May-16 11:19:16

bags My first thought was "what has need got to do with it?" Janea said it first though!
Get them, you're a long time dead!

Dandibelle Sun 29-May-16 11:03:12

They look comfortable but not smart. A bit ugly like Uggs

Shinyredcar Sun 29-May-16 10:21:19

Surely there must be someone else on here old enough to have had a pair of white lace knee-length boots to wear with your hot-pants?! Why start being practical now?

chrissie13 Sun 29-May-16 09:57:28

I think the blue ones are lovely but, as you say, not very practical!

harrysgran Sun 29-May-16 09:56:00

Gorgeous go on treat yourself be adventurous and go for the yellow.

bigburd Sun 29-May-16 09:41:29

Oh bags !!! I dont need them either ....but now that I have seen them I want them grin ... in blue and as I am sure they will go with all things denim and nice print summer dresses x yolo

Nelliemoser Sun 29-May-16 09:35:55

We get so little summer why put your feet in hot boots?
My mind used to boggle about those souls clumping about in summer in UGG boots. They would certainly be too warm and seemed to have no support about the ankle.
You can tell I am not shoe mad can't you.

Neversaydie Sun 29-May-16 09:27:24

Sorry but I think they are hideous. And why would you wear boots in susummer But each to their own .If you like them go for it

Bellasnana Sun 29-May-16 07:32:47

The blue ones are gorgeous! Bit pricey, but you only live once - treat yourself smile

Humbertbear Sun 29-May-16 06:47:06

Just want to add that they are totally impractical but I couldn't resist and I am going to wear them with denim summer frock. Just need to find a Country and Western festival!

Jane10 Sun 29-May-16 06:46:36

Or plimsolls? grin

Humbertbear Sun 29-May-16 06:42:08

I bought a pair of beige suede summer boots from Primark. I think you should buy yours too

rubylady Sun 29-May-16 03:32:23

Treat yourself, go on, I dare you. grin

annodomini Sat 28-May-16 22:41:40

If the sun shone through them, you'd get spotty feet. grin
