Like a Mum Boot, but not a Mum Boot - help needed please!

[HazeltheMcWitch]

Please help! I start a new job this week, and have identified a gap in my footwear wardrobe.

Yes, I need something that is like a Mum Boot, but not a Mum Boot. It needs to be black; ankle or calf length so can go under long trousers; it needs to be comfy so not too pointy and have a mid height heel that has a chunk to it.

God I sound boring, don't I? I do have nice things, honest, but I also need a boot for those blaaah days when I have to stand or walk for long periods of time and wish to avoid cold feet. I don't want flat boots; that would need a whole new trouser wardrobe. And I like my clothes.

So: please please help. If you don't, I shall be forced to buy THESE, the superlative Boot of Mums, and front it out.

Oh, job is quite senior, slightly creative role in a corporate environment. Budget is ideally

What about these?

I think the gold heel makes them unmumsy.

Frances those are v cool

Ooh, I like them...

Cybbo says Mum boots are coming back.

Coming back, are they? Well, maybe I'll get the TS boots AND the Mum Boots and be avant-garde...

Oh please Hazel no, they are dreadful (and I am 40 and about to launch into a year of being a SAHM/mat leave).

these are a bit 'mum' but are very very nice irl

I'm getting those TS ones

I have the gold heeled boots, they are fab

How about this or this

Ooh! I like those three, Tethers, but the first ones have it I think - the heel height will work best for me and my trews. May have to try those and the pretty Toppers ones.

Noddy - think £190 for boots for a blah day is a bit steep for me, pretty as they are!

I nearly bought noddy's COS boots, they are v nice in RL

I want these

The Cos ones are cool.
I've got these from Ash

ooo buy white's suggestion. The are pwetty!

The Ash ones are looovely! But these are my boots to go under trousers on a blah day, no way I'm spending £160 on them!

ponders whether I need those boots for other boot occasions, however...

I know these blow the budget but you could wear with skirts, dresses and trousers...

these from jigsaw

Right, today I bought the TopShop ones with the gold heel, and they are lovely, so thanks all! I also got some heeled chelsea boots, which are honestly nicer than they sound!

Am loving the golden-heeled ones. they're for days when I just can't be bothered, remember, and I do often wear lots of black then. Am oddly happy that I will appear to be all in black, but NO! I will have a golden heel instead, like a, er, slightly gilded ninja.

The gold heel ones are gorgeous.

I have mum boots and they are about to wear out so I'm going to glam up a bit with my next pair.

something a bit different and funky
