Have you seen a good dark brown ankle boot?

I can't find this for the life of me. It needs to be dark but brown, not black or grey, Slip on or zip but not laces, leather not suede, not chelsea style unless it has the stips of leather over the elastic part, and a block or cuban heel (so not high but not absolutely flat), and not edgy or slick, if anything more of a nod to a western style. I'm willing to pay up to £150. The closest thing I've found That meets some of this criteria is a pair of timberlands but the heel is high. Am I in a time warp and this thing I want is actually just not made anymore?

Frye ankle boots? Often discounted on the Outnet or Yoox.

Marks place!

I've never heard of them but they do free shipping to the UK apparently. Something like their "leslie artisan short" might be just the thing (not keen on the threading detail on the side) but thanks very much for the tip Simply!

Those are still a little pricey and the ones on sale can't be returned. Shame, there are some nice boots there!

I should've gotten these instead of fannying around as I have now decided they are THE perfect boots and I'll never find anything else like them

IWantABlueBanana · 01/09/2017 21:14

I got a similar pair to those frye ones from next

dudsville · 01/09/2017 21:25

I saw that thread Dame, i didn't want the boots but it's what made me think of posting. I'm sorry you missed out on them they look great!

I didn't know next did shoes. I'll have a look thanks Bluebanana.

Yes. Sainsbury's. can't link on phone but the are the dogs of a boot.

dudsville · 01/09/2017 21:41

Thanks for the recommendations Sky and Blue, nothing in those places match my seemingly ridiculous criteria.

I have a lovely old pair of boots that could match my criteria. They don't get worn much as the leather is too light for my taste nowadays. Off to google whether they can be dyed.

They are called Penelope by Dune

MrsReacher85 · 01/09/2017 21:56

Do you have a link sleep ? I can't find them on the Asos site and I think they're perfect!

MrsReacher85 · 01/09/2017 21:56

Cross post, never mind!

SleepFreeZone · 01/09/2017 22:06

It looks like they are out of stock 😩

Have a look on the Dune site as they had some other styles that were very similar on there called Polyanna and one called Panella.

dudsville · 01/09/2017 22:09

Aw sleep!

Thanks snuggy, I used ted and mufty in their previous incarnation and didn't like them but also those show the elastic which I dislike so much. And those are nice but a little slick Pickle. I'm looking at Red or dead brown mountain fleece... I don't know how to link.

I've found them on a slightly strange site

What a funny website name! Thanks for coming back with the goods Sleep. I hope Dame and MrsReacher see the link! I've now ordered the red or dead ones - no idea what that company is like for shoes but I will see what they're like before I make another purchase!
