Ankle boots, opinions needed!

So I went into Next today and tried these on, as I'd seen them recommended in a thread on here:
www.next.co.uk/X522294s3

They look nice but the soles are solid and slippey so walking in them was like wearing flippers as they just wouldn't give at all when I walked

I'm now looking at either:
www.clarks.co.uk/p/20355901
or
www.clarks.co.uk/p/20355450
or
www.clarks.co.uk/p/20356807

Any preferences? I think I'm tempted most by the first two.

Thank you!

Don't like your first link, sorry. I like the other two. Depends on which leg height is best on you.

TedMoseby · 01/09/2013 21:47

Don't apologise Lurking, I need the honest truth. I'm 5'5 but am often mistaken for being taller as my legs are quite long. Are there any rules to go by for which leg height will look best?

I love the third and fourth pairs. Really nice.

My mother would be so proud of me going for sensible shoes, she has a real thing about slippery soles Grin She always has images of me falling over in Morrisons!

Really like 3rd and 4th pairs and think there is a 20% off code for Clarks at the moment.

I think it's worth thinking about what you plan to wear them with, when deciding what ankle boots to buy. The lower cut ones, while not really my taste (none if them hugely float my boat, to be frank), are probably more versatile. Especially when wearing with jeans. Higher ones can be tricky with skinny jeans, unless they are super skinny.

I like the last pair the most as they're the least fussy.

I like ankle boots with skinnies, the thing to look outfir is boots that are not too wide at the ankle.

I think skinnies with kneehigh s just a bit boring now

TedMoseby · 01/09/2013 22:25

Ok, I'm going to go and try on pairs 3 and 4 ASAP. Is the 20% off code online Frankie? I'm looking forward to going into Clarks and figuring out what shoes actually fit me (rather than going for a size 6 instead of a 5 because my feet are wide, and wearing thick socks to make up for it), but can then order them online if there's a code floating around?

Oh I mean 3rd and 504th links. I didn't count the Next link. The last 2 links I like. Jeez I'm tired.

Snatchoo · 01/09/2013 23:03

I like the last one and the first one.

frankietwospots · 02/09/2013 09:34

20% off code is BTS13

Happy shopping!
