I'm looking for a nice pair of knee high black boots with a heel but every pair I try are too baggy around the legs! Can anybody recommend anywhere to find some? I've got too many lots of pairs of ankle boots but really wanted some that come just below the knee

I have this problem as well, plus small feet I had a couple of pairs from Jones (slim calm range)
Dune sound good to, off to have a look.
Anyone been successful in getting proper lace up ankle boots? I look daft in Chelsea type boots, definitely a golf club vibe.

Oh god, i get this because Ive got size 7 sometimes size 8 feet too. Boots look like wellies.

The solution is:

£££ - Duo
££ - Jones / Dune
£ - High street shops aimed at teenagers

Theyve got a bit too much of a Dolly Partin vibe for me Pinkyy Grin

Dolly Parton ffs

I think I'm going to have to venture to town to try all these places! I just hate it, especially this time of year..

Unobtainable I think I agree!

Impossible to find boots for normal legs without elastic on them.

I'm a size 9 so none of the shops keep them in stock. Dune boots don't go up to size 9 ☹️👣

Yes Duo are back. No idea what they did, though I know they left some unpaid debts...

I've got this exact same problem. I'm a size 9 which doesn't help matters either.

I managed to find some knee high black boots on the shoezone website which arrived today. When I tried them on I found they're so wide in the leg they look ridiculous. I bought some lovely over-the-knee boots from New Look last year but they don't stay up. Too wide again!

I'd be happy to go somewhere more expensive and spend more money on some decent boots that fit but I just can't find any size 9s. I went into Jones today to ask if they had any boots at all in a 9 and the two women behind the counter looked at me like I was a weirdo and said no. So rude. I know several women who are size 9s - it's not THAT unusual! And just because we have big feet it doesn't mean we have big legs!

I just saw these slim fit boots. They don't come in my size, unfortunately.
Sorry, phone is being an arse. Jones slim fit leather boots, £160.
