Yay or nay on these bootsies??

[Tinseltown]

Hi girls!!
I've dreamt of buying this style of shoes for a loooong time...
I can get these for around 30 bucks which is ok...
But what do you think about them?? I can't chooose.

also.. I don't have skinny calves, but I don't care... I do wonder tho, whether a shoe that was cut lower would be better or worse then.

I'd probably replace the shoelaces tho.

They could work

for 20s, but the heel is pretty skinny to pass for 30s or 40s...since they seem to really be 80s or 90s.
changing the laces to the skinny flat kind will improve them a bit.
I like the detail on them, though, they are cute.
They won't be very calf flattering with that high vamp, but hey, they are boots! Not evening slippers! So they don't have to be too sexy...

I like the black ones; it would take a brave, confident woman to pull off the silver ones, though... If you like them, and will feel good wearing them, then go on and get them. Chances are if you're still thinking about them, then you really need them. Plus, if you don't get them, and then for some reason you can't get them, you'll be mad at yourself forever... (Okay, so really I'm just looking to drag someone else into my inability to NOT buy shoes! )
Maybe a black ribbon in the silver ones instead of laces... just a thought

oh god I want the silver ones, they are gorgeous. where can I get them?

also - if you love them, get them. don't be cowed by the dictates of fashion or other peoples opinions.

Girls!!

The pics are of the same pair of BLACK shoes! lol
In the first pic they appear silver because of the flash.

I kind of dislike the shape of the heel. Is that bulk at the back just a shadow?
But they sure are inexpensive, so go for it if you like them, but there are other lace up shoes like that with more shapely heels, although they probably would cost more.

And don't worry about the calves, if the heel is high enough they will look good anyway. Just don't wear them with light stockings, I'd say.

 

[Smuterella]

hahahahaaaaaaaaaa

they really do look silver!

I like them, they will be a good cheap and cheerful everyday boot

Exactly...haha!
I've seen better ones for 1000+ kr but I am saving up for going abroad, so I can't really afford that.

Yeah.. I wouldn't wear them with light stockings... but I wanna wwear them with other colors than black though.

Ok.. so you don't necesarily need skinny legs for these kinds of shoes?
I just don't wanna look like Bedstemor And. lol

 

[olive bleu]

well....i could not carry off any footwear that cuts off at my ankles like that because I have short legs that are not skinny either. I wear shoes/boots that give the illusion of my legs being longer than they are. But you know.. who cares? I really don't look my best in full skirts either because i am rather hippy, yet I keep making them and wearing them because i adore them and i feel pretty when i have a full skirt swishing around me and they make me happy.I agree completely with the other ladies that encourage to get the boots because you have loved them for so long and they are affordable. Go for it!

 

[Tinseltown]

Does anyone have some good ribbon/lace suggestions?

 

[Naama]

GREAT shoes! I have similiar ones but mine do have different heels. But why do you want to change the laces?
