I have high heeled ones but I'm looking for some calf-length flats that will look good with a skirt. Preferably in leather and not too pricey. (I don't really want to spend more than £100 if poss but if I love them I may be swayed - it's my birthday soon!)
Look forward to hearing your recommendations.
TIA

knee length and blow the budget which isn't quite what you are after

but

i bought a pair of brown leather knee length boots from Hobbs about 4 years ago - they still look amazing now

they are an investment

Like the hobbs rip off.
Never bought Next shoes, are they any good?

Camper do lovely, blissfully comfortable, and extremely hard-wearing flat black boots every winter, in a variety of styles and lengths. Mine cost £120, and are now entering their third winter and still look fantastic - I expect to get a fourth winter out of them too, at this rate. Look on their website, www.camper.com (pesky flashy thing so you can't link) - design Spiral, calf length, exactly what you are after.

FrannyandZooey · 18/10/2007 21:18

what size are you Olivia?

OliviaMumsnet · 18/10/2007 21:21

7.5UK EUR 41 (so quite flipperish but I am q tall)

incogneato · 18/10/2007 21:21

I find Next books very uncomfortable.
Olivia do you have slim calves

FrannyandZooey · 18/10/2007 21:22

Ok I have a pair I might be offloading, I was thinking of sending you them as a bribe

HC I am about to start thread for you, please come

hoxtonchick · 18/10/2007 21:22

ditto the camper suggestion. mine are on their 4th winter & although i've bought other black knee high leather boots i keep going back to them. and am wearing them now in fact...

HUNXXXX · 18/10/2007 21:24

i love next shoes# cheap and fit really well

hoxtonchick · 18/10/2007 21:24

oh, & i've got these too. not as comfy as the camper ones, but funkier.

FrannyandZooey · 18/10/2007 21:26

oh sorry should have said "but your feet are too big"

HUNXXXX · 18/10/2007 21:27
