I need some proper, solid, beautiful leather knee boots please before Autumn

[Flighttattendant]

I got some Fly Mols last year and they have stretched so much they are flopping around on my feet and legs which is really sad, because I only really got them for the close fit round my skinny ole calves.

I have got a pair of Andalucian riding boots which do not fit (finally admitted it - they're too big) and a pair of boots from Hobbs sale which are also like buckets.

what I am after is a close fitting, really nice quality, thick leather pair of boots which come up below the knee, are fairly round toed, and will last without stretching or whatever.

I love Camper boots I have seen on some US websites but can't seem to find any over here.

Has anyone got any ideas? Will pay quite a bit if necessary for a really good pair, as I will wear them all the time. currently stuck in my Toggi horse boots which though great are a bit high, and a bit scruffy!

Thankyou for any suggestions.

i think duo do thin as well as fat boots.
the camper site only has sale at the moment - have you actually tried any on from there? i know campers shoes are fairly wide fitting, not sure on the boots.

Duo Brindisi - should fit your criteria!

These any good?

Thankyou gals, the style I like particularly is something like <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=farm1.static.flickr.com/138/398969540_40a81def8e.jpg&imgrefurl=alanbell.wordpress.com/2007/02/22/new-camper-shoes/&usg=__6OuxuJDRBYQ27CbDyr9jss-R0gM=&h=354&w=323&sz=24&hl=en&start=0&tbnid=kdsM2BdIYG_rJM:&tbnh=164&tbnw=173&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcamper%2Bboots%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1124%26bih%3D839%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=331&vpy=391&dur=15&hovh=235&hovw=214&tx=90&ty=102&ei=PallTOzKOYiSOPjG3fwM&oei=PallTOzKOYiSOPjG3fwM&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:11,s:0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this

(not sure if will come up! googl;e has changed a bit hasn't it)

I really like the thick soles and interesting details. There seems to be nothing like them in the current collection or preview

Yes, \link{http://www.duoboots.com/products/boots/\Duo} does boots for narrow as well as wide calves, so should be a good place to look.

LOL Proles, mahoosive 42 here as well mate

Thanks ever so much though, for your help! I feared it might be ebay or bust...oh well...suppose I had better get looking!

Have you looked at Dune online?

If you look online at www.camper.com they have not yet got their boots up yet - give it a few weeks? They will deliver to the UK. Some camper boots on Amazon and also yoox.com

they're very expensive, but have you had a look at www.penelopechilvers.com ? Sorry don't seem to be able to do links at the moment.

They mostly seem very slim fitting. Look for the long tassel boot. Hope you find something!

Look on Yoox for Campers. Fair bit of similar stuff as well when you do searches under boots.

Like these

and these

and even these

and these . . . .

They sell camper boots on www.amazon.co.uk

Happy hunting!

Thanks all, I have looked at Dune - also Yoox but do they deliver to the UK? I didn't think they did. They have some great stuff though

Thanks for the ideas, I love the tassel boot on Penelope Chilvers but it's a bit too much ££!! I didn't realise Camper didn't have their full range up yet - that's really good to know, I'll try them again in a few weeks.

I will go and look at Amazon now

Yoox definitely deliver to UK (make sure you are in the UK version of the site) - I think it cost me £6 but they have free returns.

Brilliant - thankyou

Have Duo Boots, but I found them terrible quality for the price.

Oh that's a shame. I always thought they looked as though they would be quite posh!

I've got 2 pairs from Duo - both have been great - one pair is on at least its 5th year, the other about its 3rd. With re-heeling as necessary, obviously.

I got a pair just like you describe from Russell & Bromley.
I've had them for three years now and they look great. I plan to wear them for a good few more.

maybe they have got worse recently? Mine lasted a few months
