Ankle boots

[Annab1983]

Do all ankle boots gape at the ankle? Just bought a beautiful suede pair but when wearing with dress and black tights they definitely gape at the ankle.. it looks ok from front but from the sides you can see it.. I do have skinny ankles (I am overweight everywhere else!) so I just embrace the gape or is that a big no no? Thanks in advance!

Embrace the gape, I'm thin but cankles, tight is a worse look!

I have skinny ankles and have only just found a pair that have an acceptable gape. I think a small gape is fine.

Thanks, I can post a pic tomorrow perhaps, I looked at it so much I can’t tell if it’s an ok gape or if I look like am wearing wellies with a dress 😂

Pic attached. Have decided to return them 😕 the gape is too gaping to embrace sadly, so the search continues! Any recommendations please let me know 🙂

That is standard gape for me

This happens to me, ankle boots look ridiculous if worn with tights not trousers. I think there are actually some slimmer options around at the moment including sock boots.

You need sock boots. Loads on ASOS

Me too. I thought all ankle boots did that.

I think they look great on you.

Thanks everyone! 🙂 I have bought these online and will decide which ones to return once I have both tried on, they’re the same brand so the suede boot effect should be the same just hoping the gape is a little less noticeable with the stretchy sock part at the top (I wouldn’t think the first boots were weird on anyone else btw I just have a thing about my own big body and disproportionate skinny ankles!) thanks again!

Not a fan of how these look but yes they'd remove the game- clever idea

New boots with stretchy bit at top fit much better 🙂

Much better OP. They look great 😊
