Biker/lace up boots for slim ankles

Hi guys, hoping for some decent boot suggestions. I'm after a pair of lace up biker style boots with the perfect amount of 'chunkiness' that I can wear with jeans, skirts, everything basically.

I'm quite petite with long slim legs and very skinny ankles. Before lockdown I tried on a few pairs in shops but even with having the laces as tight as possible most pairs gape around my ankles. I like Doc Martens but they are way too chunky for me and don't really fit my vibe, I just don't think I pull them off. I tried a pair on and they looked like clown shoes on me even though I'm a shoe size 4 Confused

So essentially I want slim black biker boots in soft supple leather that come up quite far up the ankle (I guess longish shaft if that's what it's called) but that will be tight enough to not gape at the top. I want a bit of chunk to suit the current trend because I don't want them to look mumsy or dowdy, but not super chunky either. And they need to be quite narrow around the toes as my feet are slim, lots that I've seen online seem to widen out around the front of the foot to give that clowny type of look? I don't mind a buckle here and there but not lots of fussy buckles and studs everywhere!

My budget is max £150. I'm in my early 30's and am pretty casual most of the time if that helps but I want these to look decent and good quality. Thanks in advance!

I have these:

They’re amazingly comfortable and don’t do that annoying flapping around the ankle thing that lots of ankle boots do.
