I liked these dune polar ones but no zip and they're a bit piratey

dune beauty suspect a zip at the back to be annoying

office front too wrinkly

ugg too warm too much money? black sole looks a bit naff with suede

I have a great fancy for these, but they may be too horsey?

Asda are selling brown boots that fit your description perfectly. £36 - they are lovely. I have the brown and black ones and they are super comfy.

EldonAve · 03/11/2010 22:02

I'm quite liking the Esprit suede ones

I second teh Asda ones, are leather and better than most more than double the price...I love them!

EldonAve · 04/11/2010 10:59

Thanks Zippy01 - I couldn't find them online and we don't have Asda with clothes/shoes round here unfortunately

Can recommend the Hush Puppy ones that Tethersend recommended further up here, I ordered them on the off-chance and they're great. Rich colour, and really really comfy. Very pleased! I was worried they'd look 'granny-ish' in the flesh as I've never had HP boots before, but they're pretty good.

Thanks Tethersend!

These look quite nice, also think Ecco boots are pretty good, comfortable and look decent too.

Ninky - how tall are the Hush Puppy boots as in how high is the boot shaft?

NinkyNonker · 06/11/2010 20:55

I'll dig out a tape measure tomorrow Pannacotta, but in the meantime they are upper calf level on me. Not knee high if you see what I mean, but fairly flattering as they are not so short that they cut off across the widest part of my calf. I'm 5'8" with approx a 33" inside leg so not short.

LoveRedShoes · 06/11/2010 23:00

Have you looked at timberland boots - bought two styles from their range - very nice!

NinkyNonker · 07/11/2010 19:08

Hi Pannacotta, just measured them and the height from sole is 14.5 inches. Circumference of the top is 14 inches. That's on a size 6.

Pannacotta · 07/11/2010 21:36

Thanks Ninky, it was franke who asked!

NinkyNonker · 08/11/2010 09:28

Yes, but you were after the height weren't you? Have PM'd Franke but figured I might as well put all the measurements on here in case you were interested.
