I think this boot quest may become a saga...

I am just too fussy.

I have in mind black suede ankle boots with a wedge/platform, but- and here's the stickler- not too high.

These are close (thanks to whoever found them for me- sieve like memory, sorry), but I want more of a platform on the sole and less on the heel IYSWIM.

I need a size 8.

Feel free to read this, do this face Hmm and click on a waterproof coat thread. God knows I would. However, if you can help at all, I would be most grateful.

Classic xpost, Hotburrito - same ones! :)

Great minds think alike thumb Smile

You need to stop being so damn fussy and either start designing your own boots which-we-will-all-wear or just get these

They are practical and look comfortable.

collision-thanks for that a bit of wee just came out. I got nice shoes boots from new look-not wedge but genuine suede-in the sale for £20. No good?

Collision - those are beyond dreadful! Grin Although they are all the rage (bandals, not that repulsive colour) here in Aus.

Collision, I can't help feeling that you're not taking this seriously.

strange rocketdog effort

tethersend · 01/10/2011 18:18

The fly ones have the right size sole, but are fugly, you're right Tanyaaah.

HotBurrito, ditto.

Thanks for looking though. I fear this is a fruitless search.

They don't exist. You'll have to take up shoemaking. Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

Bugger. I was afraid of that.
