boots for problem legs

Hello. I often wear skinny jeans and blazers for work and need some boots which are very comfortable as I have raging sciatica which goes from foot to hip at the moment (lots of lifting looking after MIL etc has made it worse). I cannot cope with the boots I have. So ... would you recommend some specialist brands which might also have some boots which are vaguely good looking? I had heard about Rieker on here and there are these which might work: www.zalando.co.uk/rieker-lace-up-boots-brown-ri111c07s-708.html though they aren't exactly beautiful (and not exactly cheap).
I am short and like low-cut boots so as not to make my legs look even shorter. I just want very comfortable feet at the moment (even if the boots don't make my sciatica any better).

I bought these boots last year, www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dr-Martens-Rowena-Womens-Leather-Mid-Calf-Engineer-Boot-/200944125404. They come in two shades of brown as well as black.
I'm also short (5ft on a good day Grin) and I've found the length of theses boots really suits my leg length and shape. I work as a waitress, so am constantly on my feet and have found them to be comfortable and hard wearing.
Good luck with your search.

I found this video

There are some negative comments but the majority are thanking her and say they have had relief from the pain.

Watch it and use caution in deciding if it is for you. Xxx

Thanks! I shall have a look at those DM boots, but also need some ankle boots.

The sciatica stretch video looks positive and I shall have a go this afternoon!
