Well girls my old ones from NEXT are getting a bit worn and am having achilles problems which Dr at work says is probably due to alc of support (I have the skinniest ankles in the world outside a colony of emus!) and thught maybe I should get a new pair of boots as it is probablt lack of sponginess in sole of old ones due to almost constant wear.

So which ones do I get - I wear leggings almost everyday to work so mostly wear my bikers as try and look trendy as work with young adults:

these?

or

these?

DO the boden ones look a little well not authentic - will I look even more middle aged that I do already in these rather thanthe rougher next ones ro can someone suggest some others - think I will have to invest in huge thick socks to fill the ankle bit though!

Chibi - I have a thing about molded soles - they are just wrong wrong wrong on a grown up!

Folorn - would at least look a little hip in those infront of the kids at work! Dr's may raise a few eyebrowns if I strt around in those though!

I too have skinny legs and have a nightmare every year trying to find boots that dont look like wellies. I';e just ordered these Yep, I know there not real leather, but they will do until I find the illusive 'right' boots. At least I can adjust the straps on these to fit my pins!

the Boden ones look like something for a 7yo

I like the Next ones. The Boden ones remind me of those boots with elastic on the sides, sort of jodhpury
