Can anyone find me some green suede knee-high boots?

I have a recent urge for a pair of not too chunky, olive geen suede boots. They seem rather hard to find.

I thought these might be the ones, despite being a bit chunkier than I wanted, AAOS but they've turned out to be almost brown rather than green.

I like these Clarks wedge but I think my calves are too big for them.

Can anyone find any others? Size 5, budget probably £120 but flexible for the right pair.

Next had some.

Did they? They haven't come up in my searches. I'll have a look. Thanks.

They're not quite what I had in mind - a bit more of forest green rather than olivey/khaki but as they do a wide fit it might be worth ordering in case I can't find any others. Thanks, ImATot.

Anything more olive anyone has spotted? Possibly with a small wedge? (Hopeful face)

Anyone else got any suggestions? I've been obsessing about getting some for a cour of weeks now and I'm not getting anywhere.

I've seen these in store and they're greener than they look. But only calf high.

Not olive green but still green :) www.duoboots.com/ladies-boots/green/

YW :)

Why, are you Maid Marion? Grin

Hopasholic · 26/10/2013 19:48

Saw These today in John Lewis. Very flattening on the calf with a wedge heel too.

Hopasholic · 26/10/2013 19:49

Flattering not flattening!

Justinepants · 27/10/2013 21:11

Right, that was a much busier weekend than anticipated.

Thanks very much to everyone for their suggestions.
I've ordered the Next boots. They're arriving tomorrow. I'm afraid I'm being very fussy and I'm not sure that any of the others are quite right:

John Lewis lace up - not tall enough
Jimmy Choos - lovely, best colour but way too high for my stompy walk (and perhaps just a little bit pricey Smile)
Toni Pons -nice and plain, perhaps a little clumpy and I'm not sure how long they are but I'll order them if the Next ones are no good
ASOS - they are the ones I've already tried and they're almost brown rather then green, sadly
Bertie and Fermani - just not keen
ebay us - quite like, just seems a bit if a faff to order from us if I might have to return.
John Lewis teal I have looked at those. Nice, not the colour I was thinking of but I like teal. Don't have my size online
Duo - love the style of the Arvon but really don't like the colour

I'll keep you posted about the Next ones but if anyone could find any others, perhaps more like the Clarks wedges I found on ebay, I'd be very grateful.

The Next ones arrived yesterday. I really like the style and the fit is great. Unfortunately the colour is not what I'm looking for. It's an almost inky forest green.

I've now ordered these to arrive tomorrow Fly Yust Sludge. I sort of half like them and half really don't. I thought I'd needed to see them in the flesh. What does anyone else think? I know people seem to rave about Fly boots.

Sorry if everyone has gone off to have a real life while I'm still obsessin about green boots ...
