Please help me find some boots!

[KTeepee]

Came home empty handed yesterday and I'm beginnig to wonder if what I want exists...

I need some new plain black leather ankle boots, with a bit of a heel (about 1-2 inches high), not stilletto. Loads of places had some in the £30-40 range but they didn't look like they would last very long... I saw some lovely ones by Jones the bootmaker but they were £95 - too ££ for me. I need something in between, price -wise. Has anyone got any suggestions?

Something like this is what I am after...

this

Look at www.clarks.co.uk

Go to women > boots > smart and there are loads!

Let me know which ones you like (if any) and I can be nosy

You're either lost in the website or ignoring me

I have looked in Clarkes and there are a couple of pairs which are ok but not making me go "wow" - but I know I will probably end up buying there as it is local and I won't be able to bring myself to go further afield again...

The Montego ones are closest to what I want but can't see them in my local branch - unless they are different to what I think (hard to tell from the website)

can i persuade you to just buy the Jones boots?

I've got a few pairs from Jones and they are absolutely fantastic. They are worth the extra money as they are so comfortable and look great year after year. A worthy investment.

i am sort of tempted if I thought they would last for a few years - I have told dh that if I don't find anything else I like he may have to buy them for me for Christmas - but I would really like to buy some before that....

Found the Montego ones in my local Clarkes after all - bu they look awful in RL - so back to searching again...

How about these from Next

The Black Tramline Ankle Boots at the bottom

Or the black soft ankle boots on the bottom RH corner

How about these ? Also, if you have a Scholl shop near you - go in. I was in one today, and they have a lot of nice looking boots.

£45 in M&S. I have had mine for over 3 years and still look like new. Bought some similar brown ones last week for same price.

Boots

I got a pair (looks just like the first picture) from Brantano's last year. They were about £40, they had a lot of wear last winter and still look new.

schuh have nice boots

Also I got some for £25 in Dorothy Perkins last yr (they were leather) & they've lasted really well.

Jones, the first pair you linked to I will get if I can't find anything else (have tried on the second pair but don't suit my wide feet...). The reason I am holding back is I bought a similar pair from Next last winter and the heel fell off the first time I wore them...

Thanks for all the other links, will look through them later when i am child free (but don't have a Brantano or Schuh near me and really need to try them on in RL...)

i had a thread on style on shoes ofr jeans we foudn some nic eones
nexta nd clarks

ooh montego very dull ktp

Yes they were not nice in RL. But I do want something very plain...

why

I think all the ones on the other thread are too flat - I have seen loads of nice flat ones in the shops (but could I find any last year, no!) but I want a bit of a heel - to replace a pair I have had for years, mainly for wearing going "out"

KTeePee - I have had quite a few pairs of boots from Next over the years, and that has never happened to me.

Currently have one pair that have lasted 4 years - not ones I wear every day, but I still wear them at least once or twice a week.

So don't let that put you off!!!

Ive always found NExt boots good. Give them another try.

agre next shoes generally are faba dn very reasonably priced
