Flattering low-heeled ankle boots

[Filiboom]

I'm on a mission at the moment (which largely consists of buying then returning) to find some low-heeled flat ankle boots that don't give me short stumpy legs.

I've had before the Jigsaw Cara boots (www.jigsaw-online.com/product/cara-ankle-boot/J25124_BL010), but after various foot and ankle injuries, I can't really wear them any more. I love them as the "v" at the front and (obviously) the heel makes my legs look longer and slimmer.

I've looked everywhere for lower heeled equivalents, but can't find any. The latest to go back are some suede Boden ones, which looked promising online, but do nothing for me.

I'm a size 10, 5ft4 and don't have slim legs - my calves are fairly muscly (with a by of flab) and my ankles are relatively narrow. In the right shoes (heels!), I like my legs. Unfortunately, I can't wear those any more.

Does anyone have any recommendations for flat ankle boots that won't make my legs worse than they actually are?

There's a lot of biker style ones around, but I'd like something a bit more elegant to wear with skirts and dresses (and to a smartish office).

Thanks very much!

I love the Dallas Superdry but they only go up to size 7 and I need 7.5 or 8!

I would love something like that in leather as I worry suede would not do well in the wet.

Marking place as I need boots with a v too - last years were from Dune so will look there first I think. Hoping to go shopping next week - anyone know if the shops have their boots stock in yet? Last week there weren't many (and no v's!)

Oh and why my last years boots were suede but I used protector spray on them and they were fine

These are last years Clarks but found a couple of pairs left on Cloggs. The colour is more grey than mushroom but went with both trousers and skirts. The colour seemed to complement everything. I wore them to death and have actually this minute ordered another pair as I want a spanking new pair for work this winter! Sorry it's not got the V but I am five foot nothing with chunky calves and was very happy with how these looked. The black elastic seemed to break up the line ankle line

Hi there. Just coming back belatedly to say that I ordered the Ash Hurrican (www.ashfootwear.co.uk/womens-c1/ash-hurrican-boots-black-suede-p1768), they've arrived and I'm keeping them.

They're not perfect (would prefer a slightly blocker heel and a slightly less pointy toe), but they're pretty close. I also got them half price (which softens the blow!) and would consider getting them again in black leather or a different colour suede. (I won't though....)

They do have the "v", which after trying on many pairs of shoes, I've realised is the most important thing for me. Thanks for all your help and hope this is useful for others!

Blockier, not blocker. (And prefer the look of the slightly less blocky heel, but have stupid weak ankles.)
