I’m fancying a pair of biker boots. I’m 65 and maybe too old to rock this style! What do you think? The pair I fancy are Gabor ones!

Why should you bother what others think? Out of curiosity I Googled: Grandmother in Biker Boots, a plethora of images came up, so I just chose the first. Doesn't she look fabulous?

Marydoll i just can't recommend them enough
Some days I use to walk like a Penguin with weak shoes
So hopefully they will enline my ankle joints again resulting in less pain

Glow, I too have RA and I was just thinking that biker boots would be exactly what my consultant would recommend. The bonus, they are fashionable too!

I'm 61 and just brought a pair of Dr Martins they cost me £169 never have I spent so much on my feet but omg they are so worth it.
I have RA so comfort to walk in
Strong ankle support
And they will last years
The bonus is they make me feel like a rock chick.
So go on and buy and enjoy
Its what you want to wear and at our age we can please ourselves no matter what others think

There's nothing wrong with biker boots, in fact they're common and mainstream now. If it were thigh high boots, though - I'd be worried!

I would just go for it. It's your money and your feet! Life is too short to worry what others think.
Are you able to post a picture?
