Stylish casual ankle boots

27 replies

TheOriginalMessyBun · 23/10/2018 17:50

I'm desperately seeking stylish & casual (and comfortable!) ankle boots for every day use; school run, shopping etc, ideally to go with most things (I'm normally in jeans or black skinny joggers which don't really look like joggers). I'm really not that into chelsea boots and would love to find something that I could just pull on / with a zip at max (tired of doing the laces of my work boots). Small heel would be perfect but can be flattish. All I can find is chelsea boots or lace ups...
I don't have a big budget but for the right pair I'm willing to invest a little...Have you seen anything nice?

Anything here take your fancy? I have the Apisi which are really soft and comfortable.

TheOriginalMessyBun · 23/10/2018 19:41

They are gorgeous!! I realise that my idea of stylish is rather boring practical...Blush

I second Hudson, I love them, fab boots

Sometimes you can get good deals on amazon for them.

They also do these in the black down to 60 quid.

Sorry ASOS!

ChishandFips33 · 23/10/2018 22:12

Hudson fan here too

I have many pairs - they wear well and last ages

TheOriginalMessyBun · 25/10/2018 09:03

Thank you for the suggestions! I've also looked at Clarks Orinoco, and although they are chelsea boot style, I quite like the longer length.
Love both the Hudson and Timberlands suggested!

Asda have great leather ankle boots for £25 at the moment.

I have nothing useful to add other than Shock at your username.

I got these recently and love them:-

(Although they do have laces and zips, so probably not what you're after!)

Pickle those are nice too, wouldn't mind them as they have zips!

nononsene, thank you, I've actually got my eye on a pair of burgundy boots! Smile

I've recently bought these from primark and love them. Comfy and stylish (and cheap) and easy to keep clean. They have a zip down the inside.

Shamelessly jumping into your thread, OP Flowers
I'm also looking for ankle boots, but in navy leather (definitely not suede, as it fades and looks scruffy, to my mind). Thanks Smile.

TheOriginalMessyBun · 26/10/2018 09:35

No problem, Fritata! Smile
Most boots seem to be suede these days...also wondering how outdoorsy they are, cope with rain etc.
Nothing to contribute to your request yet, but will have a look...

Hudson fans - what is the fit like? I'm a 5 to 5.5 and usually wear a 5.

Bluntness100 · 26/10/2018 10:40

I'd get a six, Hudson comes up small. I'm a seven and have two eights and they fit more like a seven. A seven would have been two small.

Whwhywhy · 26/10/2018 10:44

Don’t pay full price for Hudson. I’ve 2 pairs of the horrigan and I got one pair for £40 on the very outlet on eBay.

AllViewsMyOwn · 26/10/2018 10:45

There was a thread recently about George at Asda real leather ankle boots for £25. I bought some and they are amazing!

You can get black or tan Chelsea boots or a black ankle boot with silver zip detail.

Amazing quality and I've never seen leather for £25!

xmaskitkat1967 · 26/10/2018 10:46

thanks both. i am looking at outlet prices.

AllViewsMyOwn · 26/10/2018 10:47

Also I have a pair of Clarks Orinoco and I don't like the longer length of them- they look strange when on and I don't really know what to pair them with!

Angelcd · 26/10/2018 14:28

Spylovebuy have lots of boots i just found this website last night so im not sure if they have what your looking for. I got boots for £30 down to £10 x

Charlottesshoezzzz · 26/10/2018 14:47

Op I would like to recommend these.... I bought them recently, they are very comfortable & stylish, easy to pull on & they are waterproof! Although they are Uggs these are wearable for Autumn/ spring too as although they are warm with the sheepskin lining, they aren't too bulky & overly warm like the original Uggs.
These look fab with skinny jeans : )

This site has lots of Uggs at brill prices. Uggs are very durable & they last a long time.
