I have looked and looked all winter, online, but cannot find any that are just right. The criteria, should you wish to help me is

Brown to wear with skirts or wrap dresses
Knee high and casual, so no heels
No fussy whistles and bells and not dressy
If you imagine Fly Mols but don't like the front being higher than the back!
Can't be pull on, must have a zip

Maybe this is why I can't find any! Hmm

Thanks for any inspiration.

Hmm, do you consider a lacing detail at the back to be fussy whistles??

I bought these earlier this year, and love them. There is a zip so no lacing every time, and nice and casual.

Thanks Morefruit. The simpler the better for me. I do like that shade of brown though.

Thanks Smile

Ooh forgot to say for future ideas, my budget will stretch to around the hundred mark.

PomPotty · 16/02/2011 22:21

cornslik · 16/02/2011 22:21

Gillybobs · 16/02/2011 22:29

I have these boots Very reasonable and super comfy

tethersend · 16/02/2011 23:05

Here?

BikeRunSki · 16/02/2011 23:12

Love these have them in 3 colours, have been wearing them for years, last well, warm, cosy and unfussy. Bark is not as dark as it looks.

cornslik · 16/02/2011 23:58

I had 2 pairs of those DM's - got them from M&M sports - bargainous

nicole333 · 17/02/2011 18:03

Thanks for the ideas ladies. I think I'm just too hard on everything out there. When I see something I like, I just know it's the one!

I'm a size 3 or a 4 and prefer a darker brown.

Shame as these are nice, but on another page, much lighter.

I don't know what happened there!

OP posts:

Not brown as such, but very simple boots in budget.

CeliaFate · 25/02/2011 19:22

Duh! Just realised the last post was by the OP!
