Chic, understated, flat (or very small-heel) mid calf boots for the large-of-foot...does such perfection exist?

[Gincognito]

Something that I could dress up (for work), or down at the weekend, that I could comfortably walk in for ages?

I'm asking too much, aren't I?

Especially given I'm a size 8-9 [yeti emoticon]

Long tall sally do large sizes, but presumably they may be longer in the calf length too. Worth a look thoughand they do have a sale on just now.

subbing as these might be the holy grail of boots.

Duo have boots in a 43 - think that must be an 8 or 9?

You need to enter your calf circumference to see what there actually is to fit you but picking 36cm at random:
a couple of possibilities

mumsnet stereotype but lots of cheap fly london boots on amazon in an 8

Fly London Size 8 is a very small 8

I got these boots www.duoboots.com/products/boots/lengthid/mid+calf/ in black in the winter sale a couple of months ago. They are fab. Only allowed out of their box for special occassions til I go back to work in the autumn!

Ah BRS, thanks for that - I was just eyeing them up but I am DEFINITELY not a small 8 :(

That link doesn't seem to work, btw.

Sorry, these Duo boots - only in brown at moment, but still fab.

These - and Duo go up to a 43!

Crispins Shoes specialise in large - they do size 42 upwards only. Can be expensive but they have great sales.

Crispins sell gorgeous shoes.
Great quality, last for years.
I bought 3 pairs there recently, and a sthey have sent a £25 off voucher, may have to go back

Would these Hobbs biker boots be the type of thing that you are after? www.hobbs.co.uk/product/display?productID=0211-O118-013H040&productvarid=0211-O118-013H040-BLACK-37_5&refpage=outlet/shoes-boots/boots

Crispins are lovely but £££ :o

Style, those are lovely, not quite it, though (Gawd knows what 'it' actually is, btw)

Thanks for all the suggestions
