Skinny ankles = ankle booting hell

[Littlebeek]

Anyone who has stupidly skinny ankles found some ankle boots that don't look ridiculous? If so please share? Look want some that look ok with skinny jeans or leggings that don't look like boats on the end of my legs..
no heel or max 2 inch. Black or brown..

Oh and I always wear knee high socks pushed down into them

I have similar scrawny ankle/leg set up and I've found the trick is to wear boots that come up higher on the calf. It disguises the skinny ankle and there's less of a size discrepancy with the thighs.

Excuse the wagtastic pic, it's just for illustrative purposes. Basically any style of boot that hits about here is a winner. I spent hours in 2009 wondering why skinny jeans looked so shite on me, the calf boot was my solution and I'm sticking to it!

This is the pic I was on about: coolspotters.com/files/photos/954147/alex-curran-gerrard-and-celine-phantom-bag-gallery.jpg?1357405778

Compare to the same boot but in the shorter style, look how much more unflattering they are when they hit lower down the leg: www.fashion.hr/EasyEdit/UserFiles/News/img-repository-2012-11-web_image-ash_titan.jpg

I'm not necessarily talking about this style btw, just the height of the shaft It works with any style.

Try boots with a slight dip at the front
Avoid pull one as the top is naturally wider to get the foot in
Boots with a tongue as the tongue pulls in a little closer, narrowing the gap
this might help

I'm probably in the minority but I actually think they look nicer with slim ankles, I've always wanted skinnier ankles
I always feel like my legs look too chunky in ankle boots.

Chish do you know where the first pair are from?

Some good tips here thank you everyone.
I agree those boots in pic 1 are lovely chish.

...found them on google, sorry

Looked again and they were on Pinterest, via this blog ...from 2010
The brand is French - Maje - link on the blog

Zazathecat I love the boots from Cara that you've linked. I don't actually need any new boots right now, but you've tempted me!!

I've resorted to lace up boots , makes a change from all the Chelsea boots

I'm with Jean longer boots will look great

Sorry, I meant janet

Sorry Peta! (But secretly glad someone likes my taste in shoes for a change).

Jean??? How could you, Felascock, mortally wounded I am!

Very good!

I have the boots in RosieLig's link. they are good for skinny legs as the narrow at the ankle and are good for wearing with skirts and opaques.

Sam Edelman Petty style boots are slim round the ankle. I also have some M&S shoe boots (higher heels) which are slim round the ankle.

Ash boots are very similar to the first ones chish posted I have jalouse which are few years old now and think they have been replaced by something similar with a different name. I have skinny ankles and size 7/8 feet. I've never had a problem with them.

I have ridiculously skinny ankles and slim get and ive just bought some of these

They are awesome.

Slim get? Slim feet!!
Sorry about the link...

(Didn't get them from clarks though....can't spend £60 on boots, got them for £38 from amazon)

Thanks ground, I've been looking at those Orinoco boots as couple of ladies have recommended them. I'm going to order some abs fingers crossed I don't look like a flag pole in a canoe

I'm always posting these boots cos I love em but the ankle is pretty narrow. They also look good with opaques.

Possibly so called 'mum boots' but a lot of the online reviews for these have people moaning the ankle is not wide enough
