ankle Boots?

bikergran
I loved my monkey boots!
I may have a look for a pair - Do you think they're still called monkey boots?

This thread has reminded me to 'dig out' a brand new pair of black patent DMs which, when I got them home, were the wrong size. Also two pairs of lightly worn Vans and a pair of Converse All Stars hi-tops.
Just the shove I needed to put them on eBay tomorrow.

Oh good!
I may buy them!

I have never found a pair of ankle boots that don't hurt the bottom of my shins.
I can and do wear ankle-high lacing boots (pixy-boots?) but would prefer zip or elastic-sided.

I've just turned 70 and I'm wondering if I'm too old for ankle grazing skinny jeans. I like them on other people but they're usually younger. I love my red flat ankle boots but wear jeans over them.

I am 75 and still wearing skinny jeans and intend to do so for some years to come.

You know what they say M0nica Life is what happens while you are making plans!

It’s far too warm here yet to be wearing leggings/jeggings and any kind of boots.I am in a tee shirt today and thin cut off chinos and bare feet with sandals.

I was out shopping today and lots of people were wearing boots and heavy jackets!
Lemon. I think I will move to where you stay.

You wear them however you bloody well want to! I reckon you'll look fab!

MissA yes they do still call them monkey boots (no idea why) just google and you will find (soz for late reply) tut.

Still too warm for boots and jackets here Marydoll ?

Gosh! I had on my boots ( chic ankle boots of course) to the Edinburgh meet up.?

ahhh... but did you wear them "tucked in" or "tucked out" lol I bet no one noticed lol..in or out..

Sadly biker at our age nobody even notices us let alone our boots and leggings.

What I did notice in Edinburgh was, the natives all seemed to be wearing cropped leggings, trainers and winter coats.? I've not seen that in Glasgow ? Sorry Edinburgh grans, I meant the young people in
I looked odd, wearing NON tucked in trousers.? in my boots.

But they are all a bit strange in Edinburgh aren’t they?(Ducks for cover)

Oooh Lemon, I hope you have your tin hat on.
Only we Weegies are allowed to criticise Edinburgh folk!
I have to say all the Edinburgh grans are so lovely, I look forward so much to the meet ups and enjoy their company. They make the Glasgow grans feel so welcome.
However, I forgot to look at their boots.

Too many "SOS" the pedants will be on my case next.

So......next grans meet up try not to look too conspicuous reverting your eyes downwards to check "boots" lol

(or trainers)

Am only joking Marydoll for all I know Weegies may be just as strange!
Although when last in Edinburgh ( at a hotel) the waiter did his best to get us to eat kippers for breakfast. Not for me these days.

To wear ankle boots with trousers just roll the hems over a couple of times so there is a tiny gap between the bottom of your trousers and the top of your boots

I found a beautiful pair of blue ankle boots with double zips for ease of putting on. Bought them just this morning. Now I'm all set for winter. ??

I love them, I've just bought a new pair in Clarkes to add to my collection these have a little heel, I'll probably wear them with some winter 7/8th length, ankle skimmer trousers.
