Flat knee length boots

[Fonzie]

Am looking for a pair of knee length flat boots to wear with everything, budget around £50. I have large feet (UK size 8, european 41-42, depending on width). Has anybody seen anything like this that might fit the bill? I'd love to go and have a wander in town for them but with 4 year old and 6 month old there doesn't seem to be much opportunity. The budget probably restricts things a bit as well. All suggestions gratefully received.

you could try M&S they have very reasonable boots

The nicest long flat boots I have are from Jones but they were more expensive (one pair was a tenner in the sale tho!)

I'm sure i saw some on the dorothy perkins website!

Just to say I looked for the very thing last year, and found a pair in Clarks.. tried them on and they looked like black wellies on me! Had to go for a bit of a heel in the end.

Zara have got a selection in at the moment - not sure what price they are though.

I really really want a pair too

have NEVER bought any as I can never find a nice pair...willing to pay £120 and cadge them as xmas present from dh

any suggestions for me?

I got some last year from Dolcis. 35 quid in the sale. Also got some from M&S one year.

mmm, i hate to say it but boden have some gorgeous ones and i really really want them.

Enid have you tried Jones?

the mink suede ones ff?

they are the only thing I have EVER considered buying from boden (for me)

Those ones Enid, just something about them.

Isn't it funny that Boden brings forth such feelings of guilt!!! I do love their children's clothes but couldn't dress my kids that way for fear of reprisals in the n/hood - bitching etc!

Now if anyone can find me those for 30 pounds..............

Fairyfly, just looked at them and they are indeed gorgeous! Put mine to shame....

yes I agree

I love them they are like desert boots

may HAVE to get them

thing is, my calf muscles are so enormous I wouldn't be able to wear them with a knee length skirt, and I really like that look.

would the mink be weird with black tights and skirts though?

Enid - you are right. Black tights and skirt with mink boots... big no-no.

I bought some balck suede falt boots from Hobbs last year and LOVED them. But they were (145.

I think BikerBobs (available from the Natural Shoe Store0 do them for about £70....

Shue any good?

Enid - if you went for a conscious black and brown look it would be ok - mink - ish cardi (v this season) or jumper, black skirt, possibly textured pattern mink or black tights and the boots.

Liquorice Allsorts are dead smart and they are black and brown.

Ahhh my £10 ones from Jones are very like those mink ones with crepe soles.

Now what would you wear these with???????

a smug grin

Not for me, note calf circumference! It would be great to be able to wear them though. I remember when I was looking, loads of black boots came half way up the calf and in one shop I couldn't even get the zip up! Mortification! I sound like a freak, actually size 10/12 but with freakish calves.

Bloody hell... I just measured my calves - 14 and half inches . And I get teased coz of my skinny looking legs!! Am I some kinda freak?
