Help finding the perfect ankle boot

Had these Dune lovelies last year - wore them out so need to find a replacement
They were so comfy and the perfect ankle height to go with leggings, skinnies, thick tights with sweater dresses or tube skirts
I can't find anything similar - must be black and leather - suede or shiny doesn't matter
It's the height of how far they go up the ankle that's the issue as most are too high and verge into mum boot territory
I don't want elastication anywhere
Have tried dune website, marks, Clarks, debenhams etc, even eBay for old stock or less worn used pair
I'm a size 4 btw
Help!!!

Hi - have you tried Moda in Pelle? I came across these on ebay

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Moda-In-Pelle-Ankle-Boots-size-5-/131602735621?hash=item1ea4226205

  • they're pretty similar (though not black leather) so maybe worth checking the Moda in Pelle site for similar?

(I'm doing the same thing as you - hunting in vain for a pair of Moda boots like the ones I bought 2 years ago. They were perfect. Grrrr)

can you get your Dunes resoled?

Have you tried ASOS? Very good selection there. I was browsing yesterday evening and spotted a few styles similar to those.

(Sympathies on the loss of your old boots! Grin )

How about these (15% off at the moment with NEWYORK15)

I've just bought these which may be a bit too biker for you - but I love them - there are a few others on that website too which may suit:

I have a similar pair from Rocket Dog. Had them about 4 years and they're still going strong!

Not these exact one but not far off!

Seem to be loads on HOF website
I think these or these are a pretty close match

Also these are lovely, and only have a teeny bit of elastic!

Or what about these from River Island?

macnab · 16/09/2015 16:16

I think these are really lovely, and a bargain for real suede!

Apartridgeamongstthepidgeons · 16/09/2015 16:28

I've got those mumtoaninja , had them a couple of years and their still going strong, so comfy too!

I got some Dune ankle boots very similar to those in TKMaxx last month for £39.99.

Parisbanana · 16/09/2015 16:32

These are all Dune on TKMaxx website

I just got these from Office; good height, nice little dip at the front which I find flattering. I'm a 6.5 and got a 7 and they're fine, if a little narrow.

They don't look worn out! I'd squeeze another season out of them if they're perfect :)
