I'm turning here in desperation after hours of frantic googling. Any help from the S&B master searchers would be hugely appreciated.
My favourite boots died last year, and I kept hoping I'd come across something similar and I just can't find anything.
They were flat brown ankle boots. Just above the foot bit there was a band with a buckle to keep them on, then the rest of the boot was really soft and stuck up above this band - so the sides came away from the tongue. They looked a bit like something that'd be worn in an old fashioned story like Dick Whittington.
This is the closest I can find, but it's not quite right...
