Erm... anyone still looking at ankle boots?

[YoniOno]

I know, it's supposed to get hot at some point. But my trusty New Look pleather ones have broken so I need some more. I cba spending much but may as well get something decent if there's anything in sales?

Something Pistol-ish ideally - black, low ish heel, stops at ankle, to wear with the usual skinnies etc.

God I'm boring myself with this. But any bargains you've spotted would be much appreciated

Ok I really cba looking at loads so have just ordered these on the basis that they are a bargain and so even though I'm not in love with them, they should last.

As you were...

these

www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=1&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=5934280&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208544&parent_categoryId=208492&pageSize=20

they reissue them every year and the quality is great. Mine are going strong after 2 yrs!

I've been umming about these but they only have a lightish brown colour in my size.

I've just bought the Clarks Melanie Janes in brownish/grey suede but I think they come in black leather too. They were in the sale so about £45 instead of £60ish and I'm really pleased with them - both comfy and stylish (imo anyway :)).

I think those Scaffold ones look great - excellent shape and detailing. Hope you love them, YoniOno. and your massage (cannot stop chuckling about that thread...)

Shoeaholics are the BEST. Boots arrived today and are gorgeous. Perfect. £150 down to £29, lovely thick leather, delivered in under 24hrs. Highly recommend both the company and the boots

They are lovely, I am tempted to order them myself..

i am tempted to order from there aswell , only thing putting me off is that returns are not free . i have already ordered and returned 2 pairs to dune this week , i am stupidly fussy over footwear so dont know ...

If I didn't have 3 pairs of black ankle boots, I really would have bought them. And, if the weather doesn't improve, I think I will anyway!!

Just bought some super gorgeous rocket dog satire boots. As you describe really n very comfy. Around £40 x

Yoni they look fab! What's the sizing like? Does it come up big/small/normal?

If anyone has seen both the Topshop and Carvela Scaffold boots in real life, which would you say are cut lower? I am short, have relatively big calves but thin ankles, so I need to show a little bit of lower leg/ankle to balance myself out.

Ive got these in three colours all bought in sales, think I bought them for around the £50.00 mark.

Bought the red ones new on ebay for £35.00

Really really comfy.

Just bought a cheapo £25 tan pair in new look today but now want the topshop ones too! Might just order them when DH isn't looking!

Thanks for highlighting the shopaholics website. I didn't know about it. Have just ordered some ankle boots, cant believe the discount!

Top shop ones are def lower - the scaffolds aren't that low at all. They avoid looking mumsy by having quite a cowboy ish vibe, pointy ish toes and the Chelsea type stretchy bits. I had the same concerns - the boots I had previously were so low they were almost like shoeboots and hence flattering, but these are slightly higher so seem flattering in that way iyswim. I wore them for a full day stomping around London yesterday and were comfy. I would say they are true to size but quite narrow, not massively so, just due to the style of toe.

I've just bought some Dune ones from ASOS. these.

I also would buy the Acne pistols if money no object, but I'm enjoying my zippy ones.

I have recently bought these boots&Rf-700=1000&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=-1&sort=-1&clr=Burgundy here

They are lovely and a bargain!
