Help! Black ankle boots for work that aren't Mum boots

[NorbertDentressangle]

I need some black ankle boots for work -they need to be smart, they are for wearing under trouser and need to be flat or with a low heel (I don't do heels and there's a fair bit of walking around and being on my feet involved).

I'm really struggling in finding any as, to me, they all look like Mum boots. Any that are vaguely OK seem to have heels.

Any suggestions please?

Brogues?

you can tell me to fuck off, but I did try

I love these

Nagoo - would I be so rude .

I'll just politely decline to say anything (cos I've been brought up all proper like ) but they are pretty hideous I'm afraid

Amber- your link just takes me to the JL home page

Try this one

I got these following recommendation on mn, look good with skinnies and dresses, although suede factor makes them slightly less practical, stack heal is weeny and very comfy but enough to get a compliment at the school gate ;) 1&categoryId=&searchTerm=Adios&pageSize

Are those Clarke boots mum boots? Never knew what that meant!

CQuin -those are definitely too high for me I'm afraid.

mamaonion -those are quite similar to others i've found that I've thought might do the job apart from the fact they're suede.

Its like these ones - I like the shape, heel height etc but they're suede (also not too keen on the different colour heel)

oops try this link

They're nice too. Suede thing is annoying as will get trashed but I spent ages looking and were nearly all suede in that style!

Pistols

Not at all. I'm in year 2 of mine. Suede protector

I like Moshulu.
I am not stylish but they don't look mumsy, whatever you might say about them.

This thread in unintentionally very funny as it has the most failed links that I have ever come across in so few posts.

i have these old but comfy and useful and go with most things.They are common as muck though

I love your suggestion amber. Saw them the other day and am secretly coveting!

I don't care if they are mum boots as I bloomin' love them. I do get told that I look like a tiny pixie quite frequently when wearing them though, if that bothers you!

Perry - I thought you'd posted on the wrong thread for a moment with "Pistols" but then twigged.

TBH I'm not convinced that Pistols aren't mum boots in (a very expensive) disguise

What about these?
