Got a dilemma. Had a good discount code from Celtic & Co and ordered a pair of shoes. Need to either return these or keep them. I only have a few days left before I can no longer do a return. I like how they look with longer skirts (mid to maxi length) - but I don't know if they are something I would wear very frequently. My tried and true black and brown boots are still going strong, but I try to rotate them to lessen the wear on them.

Thoughts? Anyone else pair this style shoe with skirts?

I would suggest keeping them and wearing with the skirts. The boots often strike me as being too 'heavy' with a skirt.

I'm really leaning towards keeping them - I've not been happy pairing boots with longer skirts, and these will be a good option. I do think my boots work OK with upper calf-length and higher, though.

A bit anxious about "blue suede shoes" but maybe no one will say a thing?

Just warn people not to step on them. I have a pair of blue suede shoes somewhere, and once had a pair of green suede shoes which went very well with a green-toned miniskirt. (Unfortunately they fell apart, but I now have olive green trainers as an option instead.)

I have been going with shoes with a longer skirt to show my tights off. Boots with this length of skirt, just show boots and you loose the colour of the tights. Depends what look you are going for.


I like the colour of the shoes and the chunkiness of them. The only problem you may have is needing a blue bag to go with them.

OK - I'm an old musician and, when I read this, the following came to mind

I thought at first, nice pair of blue brogues. Coder will find something to suit them but they won't go with everything.
Now you've mentioned tye Elvis link I'm having second thoughts. Are you going to be comfortable with them and prepared to fend off any cheeky digs with a quick comeback?

Might be better to save your energy for bigger battles?
