My heart sinks at the thought, but I desperately need new boots this winter. I'm an EU size 43 or 44, depending on brand, and I'm really struggling to find something I like.
I'm after two pairs of ankle boots - something chunkier, flat, maybe biker style that I can wear with skirts, dresses and (shock!) skinny jeans, and then something a bit more elegant, with a modest heel that I can wear to work with trousers that won't cripple me if I'm on my feet all day. Both pairs black, though I'm open to other colours as long as they're classic enough to go with LOTS of other things.
I used to be able to get something decent from Clarks, but they've massively cut their range in bigger sizes.
Next have some nice ones, but I've been underwhelmed with the quality in recent years.
Where else can I look?
