Hi
I'm after some knee high (not mid calf) biker-ish style boots, brown, NOT leather. I am short (5'1) with chunky calves! I have 10 month old DTs and cannot browse the shops! Don't know where to start on internet Blush £50 ish.
Heeelp please!!

Rocket Dog boots are not usually leather, but will be more than £50.

These are brown, not leather, £70, but free posting.

Here, Here or Here

If the first two links take you to the ESPIRIT home page, have a look at the flat boots- 1 is the robust boot with crepe sole, 2 is the long boot with strap detail. Bit over budget, but not much.

Have you tried Amazon

I was looking at boots on there the other day and they have quite a good selection. Not sure how good they are in real life though but might be worth a look.

Thanks, quick replies!

Love the Rocket Dog ones but really want higher than mid calf, I think they will make my calves look chunkier than they are are knee high are better?

Like the Esprit too, don't know how the calf sizes come up though?

Off to look at Amazon...

Keep 'em coming.

The La Redoute ones have calf sizes but not the other sites. Damn my chunky calves.
Off to feed babes, back tomorrow.

I have tried mid calf this year for the first timeandfoundthey are actually a lotmoreflattering to my chunky calves than knee length. Mine are leather so I won't link. Depends what you will wear with though, I wear jeans and leggings mostly. With a below the knee skirt knee high look better. What looks worst is about 6 inches of leg showing.

MrsDing, thanks. I was hoping to wear them with a skirt, so great advice re the 6inches of leg! Thats what I was hoping to avoid. I don't wear leggings or tuck jeans into boots, so I'm going to give the knee highs a go. If they look worse than mid calf they're going back!
Clure - fab, thanks so much. I love the Alternative stores boots, only available in a size 6 at the mo...grrr..

Thanks all, hopefully one of these will be my boots but any more ideas welcome.
