Can you help me find some 'black chelsea boot white sole' ? Quality brand but comfy

Hello ladies, can you help a poor hapless shopper?

A few years ago I fell in love with some Folk ankle boots that looked a lot like these. They were really expensive so I ended up buying a clarks version which did the job, but not quite right. Clarks version are now relegated to the garden, so I would now like to buy a nicer/better quality pair. Thing is, they seem to have vanished from Folk now who only now sell a shoe version.
I'm willing to spend a quite a lot on the right pair but not having much luck finding some. Any thoughts?
I really like this style, because I like the vague Japanese feel to them, and they are sporty and comfy without seeming too OTT sports-wear.
I've seen these in Grenson, but I'm a bit worried that might be very stiff - seemed incredibly unyielding when I held them in the shop.
Any suggestions where I can look? Thanks everyone :)

By the way the ones linked from Vivo are children's shoes. :(

Have a look at Fitflop, I definitely have seen dark blue and white sole. I got the brown Chelsea ones and they are sooo comfy!

Thanks @Hopscotchz they look good. Nothing in black in my (very common) size 6 though.

Grenson have a lot of white soles, so it may be worth looking there. The sale should still be on but they are £££’s

Grenson Alice are exactly what you are looking for.

I saw some very similar to the Vivo ones in Hotter but when I checked they seem to have a very dark navy or grey at the moment.

Maybe they'll be doing them in black at some point.

You said you're willing to spend quite a lot? I hope so! Smile

These have just been released by Tracey Neuls:

traceyneuls.com/collections/women-1/products/george_piano_chelsea-boot

Her shoes are usually handmade and all super-comfy. I have this same style (George) in a different colour and I'm very happy. Actually I have 2 pairs of George. Blush I have a lot of Tracey Neuls shoes as they're well made and they last forever. But popular sizes can sell out quickly as she only makes a small number of each size for each shoe.

Thanks everyone! The Neuls ones aren’t quite me Hundred although I do like her shoes normally. The Alice ones could work Bloom and symphony but no 6s!
