View Full Version : One for the ladies: Advice on Boots
*Twinkle* 05-09-2005, 16:24 Hey ladies!
Caprice is on the prowl for some boots! :clap:
I know boots and shoes are a ladies best friend so I thought I'd get you involved too :P
My requirements are:
They must be versatile, ie to go with brown/earthy outfits, aswell as black and pink outfits...
They must have a heel... I'm not particulary small at 5ft6, but heels allow me to walk tall :P
Max of £100 to spend :)
Come on ladies, go get 'em!
Ps - NOT prossie boots lol!
Have you looked at the Schuh website?
I'm not going looking, coz I suspect we have different tastes ;)
Brown? :gag:
*Twinkle* 05-09-2005, 18:22 I've been on the Faith website... A few possibilities but nothing that jumps out at me...
I'm thinking more of a black pair... Classy, sophisticated, Not slutty lol
:roll: what exactly are boots that aren't 'slutty' or 'prossie', Caprice? You do seem to have a thing about this :suspect:
Looks like
these (http://www.countrysidefoundation.org.uk/HowtoHelp/giving_welly.htm) may be your best bet then :D
*Twinkle* 05-09-2005, 18:37 Lol
Link didn't work but I can imagine... Garden centre?! lol
Quite like these: click!!! (http://www.faith.co.uk/catalogue/style.asp?range=85&subRange=334&curPage=4&style=894977)
But BF has a hang up on wedge heels lol...
Perhaps I could do cream boots... But defo not "mustard" as on that page lol!

Oh, dump the BF get the boots!!
*Twinkle* 05-09-2005, 18:44 Lol he plays pop if I so much as look at a pair of wedge heels... I happen to think those ones in particular are quite nice... But he likes stiletto heels on me... Could do with something with a bit more heel on them, I usually end up stuck in a grate or going flying in stilettos lol!
I could just buy em and surprise him... If he noticed, that'd be one thing... I doubt he'd complain about them cos I'd be wearing a skirt with said boots and he defo wouldn't want me to put the legs away lol!

I tried to like them, I really did but I just can't love them, they just don't register in my (obviously screwed up) mind, as pretty
KookyKoo 05-09-2005, 19:06 bah. to each her own though CherryNicole!!! They'd never fit me anyways, my [size 8] feet are as wide as an average bus!
You could try Dune. I was in there the other day and they have some luuuverly boots.
God I love shoes!
sugarnspice 05-09-2005, 19:08 Saw some lovely red boots in Dorothy Perkins. See if they have any in other colours. :thumbsup:
hotdogbird 05-09-2005, 19:09 I reckon I've found the perfect boots for you caprice!

hotdogbird 05-09-2005, 19:11 well anyway, try ebay! great selection and cheap to boot! gerrit! haha!:thumbsup:
oooohhh, you gotta see these (http://www.bearsuponsoar.co.uk/wellington%20boots%20standing%20together%20bev.jpg ) :D
Irrelevant I know, but they came up on my boots search :hihi:
KookyKoo 05-09-2005, 20:18 OMG Strix, what are they?! Slippers???
Simply hideous.
No, just two bears - named 'Wellington' and 'Boots' :D
StarSparkle 06-09-2005, 17:16 I'm probably going out to Meadowhell on Thursday, so I'll keep a look-out for black boots with stiletto heels for you, Caprice. (And for myself! :D )
Zara and Hobbs usually stock some beautiful footwear, so they're good places to try?
StarSparkle

*Twinkle* 07-09-2005, 16:00 Thanks starsparkle!

I love these ones.
I brought my black stilletto boots in Jones the Bootmaker... they're a bit like this (http://www.jonesbootmaker.com/ebusiness1/store/product_details.jsp?pid=13587&cid=97&red=search_results.jsp?cmbCategory=97,dspimg=YES,t xtSearch=,txtSearchNameSKU=,txtVariationSearch=,cm bPriceStart=-1,cmbPriceEnd=-1,cmbManufacturer=-1,page=3,) pair, but with a slightly different finish. I've had them ages now and they're still gorgeous :D
