Which boots are working with skirts and dresses ?

[Clovertoast]

I need new boots to wear with skirts and dresses but the ones out at the moment seem to have really thick clumpy soles?
I'm 47, size 12 , would I look ridiculous in those? I was wearing flat, black, suede Chelsea boots, nut they've died and need replacing and I also feel like that look is dated, is it ?
So, which boots should I embrace ?
Does a heel look better?
Advice please!

I've just bought these in caramel and they're amazing! Go with everything. Bit narrow, though - I went up a size because my feet are very fat.

Hmmm I do quite like those !!
Would they work with dresses as well as skinny jeans? Or trousers ?
