They don't look awful but yeah, I think they look kinda funny. The right boot looks weirdly flat and long, like a baby clown shoe, because of the way it's crumpled.
The laces are ridiculously long because... someone put the wrong laces on? If they're nylon, just cut them to length and melt the ends. Or buy new laces. I replace my bootlaces with paracord.
I'd be looking for new boots, personally.

The 'creases' on the boots look like they've been worn a bit. You should tuck them into the trousers so they don't look like shoes and to get the maximum style benefit.

I think they look fine...draw a chic's attention at the very least. I agree wtf is going on with the right boot in that pic.
I rock brown Ariat cowboy boots with jeans a lot...tho I need to get some good black boots (possibly cowboy again). I picked up the cowboy boot style from a friend (natural)...
Me: You don't go boot-cut jeans?
Him: Nope, let the ol' jeans ride high and show the leather

I wouldn't say they look "funny" , just average and kind of cheaply made. No one is going to laugh at them but you can do better.
If you're looking for more workboot style, look at Wolverine or Redwing- they make good quality workboots with some models that look good with street clothes
For cool dressier boots, check out Mark Nason, Gordon Rush or To Boot New York. Allen Edmonds has a nice model called the Dalton. Look on Zappos, Amazon, Ebay.
To me brown boots are more versatile and look better than black

They look terrible in my opinion. I'm not fond of black shoes if it's not dress shoes. If you want the grunge look or a casual look then go for any shades of brown or burgundy.

They wont hurt nor help you. Depending on your style, if you like the dressier style I suggest going for chelsea boots. Classic and elegant, cant go wrong. If you like rugged style go for some biker boots.

The boots seem fine for any situation it would be socially acceptable to wear boots in (barring any occasion one would want steel toe boots).
Boots are tricky, they are very either yes or no. In vast swathes of the US you can get away with dressier boots and cowboy boots, but in urban or upscale venues this is going to be a definite mark against you.
If you are going to impose your will on the world, you must have control over what you believe.

Honestly? I they look like cheap high street footwear, made in India, with glued soles.
Mind you, I know about men's shoes, most women really don't. You'll be fine in pubs and clubs.
Also, they're about the same kind of quality as 90% of men's shoes on the street, so I wouldn't worry unless you're surrounded by people who know about that sort of thing, which is unlikely.

Are you sure about that? time and time again, you see advice about how woman notices a man's shoes first before anything else he wears. Trust me, woman notices shoes but I agree with them being fine in clubs since its so dark, nobody is going to look at your shoes.
This might sounds slightly effeminate but wearing a good pair of shoes makes me feel as good as a well cut suit or any other item of clothing that is stylish and well made.
Whether it's the sound of a pair of Church's brogues clip clopping down the pavement or a pair of bright red Hugo Boss loafers lighting up an otherwise sober coloured casual attire, shoes are as important to "style game" as anything else.

You know after thinking about them for a little while, these actually look like a good pair of boots for a hipster.
Worn with skinny jeans, the buckle would be on full display and hipsters probably like the long narrow foot of the boot.
Thank you for your 2 cents. I'll just take is as a loss and charge it to the boot game.

It's a better choice than the last one you bought but that's not saying much. Why did you buy it and then ask for opinion? make more sense to ask before. It's a decent look if you're going for that grunge look (jeans tuck in shoe)
On the website it state that the color is black but obviously that's not black. Strange. How much did you get it for? $67.83 - $134.95 is a really cheap price point but I'd be weary of anything at this price range. You do get what you pay for when it comes to quality shoes. I recommended CDB, even though it's cheap it's known for it's good quality to price ratio. Also CDB has rubber soft sole and are great for slick surface.

Can you clarify? you mean going to "Spring" the store?

The Clarks beeswax desert boot is affordable and looks damn good, but I wouldn't be relying on them in the winter or in shitty weather. Overall, good choice for an entry into the world of boots.
