Im desperately looking for long boots i can wear for work that dont make me look like I'm wearing wellies.

Im 5ft8 shoe size5 and size 6 clothes with skinny calves. Ive tried: clarks, dr martens, river island, primark and m&s and just cant find any.

I want black either flat or low heel and smart enough for work but comfy enough for walking 10 mins to/from train station

When I was young I had your problem, OP, and desperately wanted a pair of knee length leather boots that were far too wide. My Mum got out her sewing machine and took them in at the back seam so that they fitted perfectly! Perhaps a cobbler might help if no other options?

Those Gabor extra slim boots worked for me too

Jones Bootmaker now do different width calf in a lot of boots down to Slim and even Extra Slim I think it is?
