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

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 had a pair from Timberland which lasted three winters (I split the zip wearing ski socks on our last ski ing holiday).

Mine were nicer than these - not keen on the squares at the top - but they were definitely ten times more sturdy than the Flys I got this winter, which are flimsy and leaky.

Will the timberlands fit chunky calves too?

Sorry I don't know - mine are average I think.

Saw a pair of timberlands in Jones's yesterday that I quite fancy £145. Didn't try them on though, I have fat ankles and have to psych myself up to the face that that they may not do up and the embarassment infront of the shop assistant. They are not on the web site though so can't link.
