They are:
Knee Boots
Not too narrow on the calf, but not slouchy either
Black leather
Zip up
Round- toed
High Heel but not stilletoe or kitten or wedge.
Hidden (small) platform
Dont want much do I
But I thought a fellow boot-addict might be able to help!

Hmm. No platform, but how close are these style-wise?

Not black, but closer to the style you want?

Tethersend, thank you
I like the Esprit ones, but they aren't leather. Still at that price I may be persuaded. Like the Carvela ones too.
Off to check sizes!

There are some like that in Russell & Bromley, but £££ (I don't think R&B have a website).

MadameOvary I am linking to Kurt Geiger but have a look on the website as there are a lot of great boots but not all sizes left

I have the exact pair you are describing, that I got from Next before Christmas. Not on the website though

Ladies, thank you, but I am looking for a higher heel than these. The middle ground between boring block heel and pole dancer

the devina ones might do, but even reduced they are pricey

these are lovely

Sorry, I still cant do links

I got the Kimono Sash boots from Clarks - now reduced from £100 to £50 (they're not as slouchy as they look in the pic).

look in the duo sale, there are a couple of pairs like that depending on your size. sicily are my favourites. you just need to measure your calf to get a good fit.

are these high enough

Clure, that link doesn't work, could you check again? Thanks.
Cahu, The Hussein Chalayan boots are PERFECT - have had to get a tissue as I am drooling so much
The LK Bennett ones are gorgeous too.
I'll take them both please
Budget? Well I can afford about £100 but the right pair could make me do something reckless...
Off to check Duo and Clarks - thanks ladies

sale still on at duo so £100 should be plenty as long as they have your size.

madameovary - you are right the link doesn't work as the boots are out of stock, sorry!

No probs
I have resorted to ebay, but the sheer number of truly nasty footwear is slightly daunting...
