I need a pair of comfortable black boots, but am struggling to know what I'm actually looking for and hoping you stylistas may be able to advise.
I drive to and from work, but have to park a 15 minute walk away.
Work dress code is smart although not 'business attire', so my uniform is usually a fitted dress, black opaques and black high heeled ankle boots.
My feet are really suffering from pounding the pavements in heels twice a day, though, so I need something comfy to do that walk in, warm enough for the winter and preferably fairly cheap (as I won't be wearing these boots a lot).
However - this is the vanity bit - I am a manager and have to walk through security/reception in a very public, client-facing area before I can get to my office to change. So I really don't want to be arriving in Uggs or trainers.
Is there such a thing as a pair of nice, extremely comfy black ankle or knee boots that won't look ridiculous with my work clothes? Or am I just a vain idiot?
