rofl at this thread!
I got some great boots from Russell & Bromley which hopefully will see me through a few winters if I look after them: black suede, lowish kind of block kitten heel, pointed but rounded toe, come up to about 2 inches below the knee, bit of "ruching" (sp?) effect around the shin.
They are lovely with long skirts or under jeans and trousers. If my legs were slim enough I'd wear them with shorter skirt (mine are all ankle length), but I need to lose a bit more weight and do more sessions down the gym !
