Looking for knee high boots for a short person

I need a new pair of boots for winter. I've tried on several pairs during the last week or so, only to find that they're getting longer and longer these days and they scrape my knees. I'm 5ft 1 and it gets harder every time. Does anyone have any recommendations please, if you've bought some recently? I did look at Clarks but all their heels are too high - I really don't want anything higher than an inch or so.

I've just had a look and I can't find any. They're all too high.

Have you seen the lace up the back black ones £75 they have a smaller heel than the ones you linked to

Ah shit, that’s a shame. I winced at the price but 6 years later they’re still in great condition. I don’t miss working to a dress code at all!

I bought a pair from Next recently that are the right height - I’m five foot one and have the same problem, it’s an absolute pain in the bum. I also have skinny calves so have the added joy of many of them flapping about. The ones I bought are more casual than dressy though www.next.co.uk/style/st078627/t77243#t77243

Hi I’m coming to this thread very late but better late than never! Try shopping on Nordstrom. It’s a fabulous site full of gorgeous boots of all shapes and sizes and cost prices but the best thing is that they list shaft sizes in the details of the boot. If you know your ideal shaft size you can find what you’re looking for as a rule. Good luck!

Thanks so much for the Nordstrom recommendation - I didn’t know about this shop or the fact that it does circumference /height measurements so it’s definitely on my favourites list now 😊
