Am I right in thinking leather boots are the best ones and will last?

I bought some £20 boots from New Look as I didn't want to spend a lot as I thought I wouldn't wear them. They are very tatty now so I want some decent boots that will last. I looked yesterday and a lot of shops have their summer sandals in so there wasn't a lot of choice. I found some lovely ones in Jones the bootmakers in my size - the only shop to have any - but they were a bit pointed and I thought my toes would start to hurt. I am off to Bluewater today and would appreciate advice as I have no idea about fashion.

They are not on the site.

I want completely flat black ankle boots.

I always wear leather shoes. You can get some good deals on javari

I got some recently from yoox - think they still have some good bargains left.

I found some in French Connection but not designed for fat wide feet. I tried 2 pairs on in Dune but the zip was tempremental and for that much money I wanted a zip that worked the first time. They had some gorgeous thigh high boots that I really wanted and DH was Grin about but too expensive for only wearing in the house Grin.

I finally tried Clarks out of desperation and got some in there. Leather, completely flat, black, wider fit with fake fur inside for added comfort.

I am officially old Grin.

I like Clarks boots. They have upped their game recently and have some very pretty designs alongside their frump-basic range. As a plus they are always comfortable

Enjoy your new boots.

Thank you Smile.

They were so lovely to put on after the ones in FC which were designed for those with narrower feet.
