Block heel boots

Hi, I have disabilities and struggle in heels but I'm also short and dumpy...
I'm looking for some good ankle boots with a chunky block heel , I'm so short I need the height but every pair I've tried makes my gait ungainly!

So I want a solid block heel but not traditional 'mum boots', something fashionable, I've seen nice ones in Zara but don't rate them for quality. I want comfy breathable leather ideally dark brown or black. Minimal features but maximum comfort.
All ideas welcome thanks.

I have these. Super comfy as they have a secret cushioned sole, plus the cut of the top makes for a shapely ankle. Win win!

I have a Clarks pair from a few years ago that are SO comfy. They are almost exactly the same shape as the ones linked above, it's just the detail that's a little different.

I have these from moshulu the most comfortable boots I have ever worn.
I recently given up on heels as found them so painful but these are a dream.
I have them in brown.

I have those clarks ones. Very comfy and look great with trousers and dresses 😀

I really rate Geox for crazy comfort:

Just to let you know I bought the clarks ones, they're absolutely fab, really comfy, I have walked A LOT in them which I haven't been able to do for years in heels.
Thanks so much for all of your recommendations x
And yes, I do have insomnia on world sleep day of all days Grin

I'm short too (stumpy legs!) and also on my feet all day at work so needed something block heeled and low. I have these in both black and tan - i think the low cut of them also lengthens my legs iyswim.
