Oooh, 'ello style gurus, long time no see.

I would like please:

round toe, medium/low heel (like up to 2.5 inches), knee length, wide calf and foot, preferably in grey, navy, red, purple, but would live with black/brown. No fussy nonsense.

hope TK Maxx gets some fry boots in this year - I am addicted to the place at the moment. Must stop buying cushions and teapots.

cocolepew · 28/08/2012 09:25

Some in the 'casual' range too, nice ankle ones.

cybbo · 28/08/2012 09:26

I had a pair like those Dr Martens - got them cheap as chips from M&M direct a few years ago.

cybbo · 28/08/2012 09:29

Yes nodders I like the finish too but it's not as long lasting as leather pour moi

Hello Cyb, Corny, Coco and Noddy - Loooooooooooooooooooooooong time no see.

I understand from ASOS and My Wardrobe that ankle boots are in next season. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find a pair to replace my beloved worn to death and beyond New Look light grey suede ankle boots (kind of pointed at end, slouchy at top - look better than they sound honest)! Seen anything like that on your internet travels?

cocolepew · 28/08/2012 09:30

Thanks Smile

dinkystinky · 28/08/2012 09:30

Ps good luck for your op Coco

cybbo · 28/08/2012 09:31

Hi Dinky I seem to recall someone linked to some New Look grey ankle slouchers a while back...I'll have a look

cocolepew · 28/08/2012 09:31

Wilf there are coloured ones on the dr m site but I'm not sure what there calf widths are like.

noddyholder · 28/08/2012 09:32

Good luck coco x

cocolepew · 28/08/2012 09:32

Thank you, I shall distract myself with boot hunting Grin

cornycrocskin · 28/08/2012 09:32

yes good luck for wednesday coco Smile

WilfSell · 28/08/2012 09:33

Those are great corny. I fear that my rugby player's calves and giant feet will not squeeze into those tiny Portuguese sizes - I can never wear Fly sizes, unless they've started doing wide fit. Watching thread with interest!

cybbo · 28/08/2012 09:33

Dinky do they have to be grey? I Like these navy ones
