Which boots are we wearing this winter?

I need some new brown or tan boots this winter.

I love Fly London mols but already have a black pair. I think I'm too old to be rocking the work boot look, so, what should I be buying?

I just bought these for myself...I know they're not for everyone but I LOVE them and they're so comfortable.

Does anyone have a picture of what Fly London Mols look like on? I can't work out how tight fitting they would be, or how hight they would be.

tethersend · 30/08/2011 16:37

These?

These?

LolaLadybird · 30/08/2011 17:38

Ooh, I love that second pair Tether. Alas, I have v chunky calves otherwise I'd be ordering as we speak!

teahouse · 30/08/2011 21:09

I love the second pair and these - after a dark brown pair of boots; anyone got anymore suggestions?

moondog · 30/08/2011 21:13

Oi Tether

Any suggestions for nice high, elegant and comfy black boots?
I have gifted my mother with my superduper Hobbs pair after 3 winters (and thery still look great).

tethersend · 30/08/2011 21:39

Well helloooo moondog Smile

How the hell are you?

I know you like high on the heel; what sort of heel? Thin or thick? Wedge? Do you want knee/calf/ankle boots?

pinkhousesarebest · 30/08/2011 22:41

I have ordered these www.zalando.co.uk/classic-boots/?q=chire. I am hoping they are as good as they look, as this boot quest is knackering. I also love these www.botosvalverde.es/product_info.php?cPath=40&products_id=298.

moondog · 30/08/2011 22:48

I have loads of lovely boots but the ice here last year was so bad Sad

so if this year is the same i will be modelling an attractive combo of ariat grasmere boots and those anti slip chains (best buy ever!) Blush
All accessorised with slightly terrified bambi look on face

meltedchocolate · 30/08/2011 23:08

Oo I love the topshop ones. Wonder what the calf circ is.

snowmummy · 30/08/2011 23:10

So high boots over skinny jeans are still acceptable then?

I like some of the suggestions so thanks for the links.

Topshop boots usually quite narrow (much to my frustration).

moondog · 30/08/2011 23:16

Thanks Tether, mate.
The ones I had were a bit like the Topshop pair but higher with skinnier heel and v cool elasic inserts all the way up. Perhaps I shouldn't have given them away...?

Like your links but a wee bit mumsy perhaps?

feedthegoat · 30/08/2011 23:22

I have missed my Doc Martens Phoenix Jara boots so much over the summer so I have seized on the first bit of cool weather and had them on this week. I love them! They still look brand new this year too.

I can't do links on my phone. And to be fair, if you are after elegant they might not fit the bill. But did I say how much I LOVE them? Can you tell I've missed them!

brighthair · 30/08/2011 23:24

These are my faves that I got last year. Found the last pair down from £150 to £35

DocDuck · 30/08/2011 23:26

Does anybody know where I can get decent boots with a smallish heel (not flats)? I used to live in high heels but now not practical with a young baby. Still, spent my pregnancy fantasising about autumn boots purchase and would seriously love something that isn't completely flat and sensible!

Tortington · 30/08/2011 23:36

last year £40

now sale got another pair

fab with skinnies

meltedchocolate · 30/08/2011 23:38

"Topshop boots usually quite narrow (much to my frustration)." HURRAY! :o This maybe the boots for me then. 65 quid cheaper than DUO ones. Do Topshop boots last well?

tethersend · 30/08/2011 23:41

Mumsy Shock Why I never!

Grin

Do you want leather or suede, moondog?

Were your perfect boots these, BTW?

MittzyTheVixen · 30/08/2011 23:43

Am I the only person that looks like the pantomime prince in skinnies and heeled boots?
I love the look and try it and then can't leave the house because I expect someone to start yelling 'it's behind youuuuuuuu!

Am a boot lover... so enjoying the boot porn even if I can't afford any at the moment!

darksideofthemooncup · 30/08/2011 23:44

I have just bought some Frye Campus and I LOVE them so very much. Bloody expensive but without doubt the most comfortable boots I have ever worn.

moondog · 31/08/2011 05:30

Nearly Tether! (Damn you are good. The heels were higher and a bit thinner and they have squared off toes with cap detail.

Doc, have you checked out Fly boots? They have fantastic rubbery heels. The wedges are tres comfy.

GreatNorksOfFire · 31/08/2011 09:33

I have just ordered these from Zalando.

I don't understand why Zalando isn't linked to more on S&B - they're fab. Loads of choice, free delivery and returns. Tis my new online shop of choice.
