'Smart' flat ankle boots?

49 replies

Smart enough for a night out but basically flat. I live in chelsea boots in winter, my smartest ones have a heel, I'd rather have a flat (or almost flat) option.

Do you know of any dressier flat black ankle boots?

I have the black ones and wear them a lot. I also have a couple of pairs of boots in the burgundy rub-off - the monkey boots (similar to Toast Ava boots) and the Toast Jade boots.

The black dealer boots are easy - they go with so many things and are pull-on. The burgundy Jade boots always get compliments.

How about these? A bit different and not cheap but extremely comfortable . I have the pink trim/sole ones but they come in lots of different varieties including plain black.
I've had them a month and have already had compliments about how stylish and unusual they are.

I’ve just ordered these and waiting for them to arrive. I’m really hoping they are comfortable and stretchy as I hate hard ungiving boots. I also ordered the square toe ballet flat as well.

I don't know if anyone has recommended Hudson yet, but they have a great selection of boots.
I've bought loads from them over the years, and the quality is great! They last forever.

Check out Fly London. They do lots of really cool flat ankle boots.

I love these Air & Grace ones.

I think those are striking rather than smart.

I love my western boots but not exactly flat

@Dmsatdawn
im interested in the boots you linked to. Do riding boots have a flexi or stiff sole?
they are described as ‘moulded’

What about these? I'll eyeing them up and can't decide if they're unsuitable for dresses.

Anything from ECCO suit? https://gb.ecco.com/en-GB/Women/Shoes/Boots?dominantcolor=Black&heelheightrange=0--2

Hi..... I am looking at the same make of boots. Have they arrived yet and are they true to size/comfy. Any feedback would be great....

Justkoko · 29/11/2023 18:01

I've not ordered anything yet. No discount in bf sales so I'm holding on. I've been distracted by these now though....I liked them last year but not sure if they'd get the wear...

I have 2 pairs of these with pink and turquoise trim. They are so comfy and lightweight. Really recommend them.i have their shoes too.

NearlyMonday · 08/12/2023 07:28

Some great suggestions - I’m always searching for a flat boot that’s comfy enough to walk in, but smart enough to wear with dresses. Otherwise I end up taking 2 pairs of shoes on my office days, one for round the office and the other for travelling in.

OhNoOhNo · 08/12/2023 15:50

OP has said she's looking for flat or almost flat boots, so why are so many people recommending boots with heels? Some of these heels are an inch long!

KirstenBlest · 08/12/2023 15:53

The Radley ones are nice.

CynthiaRothrock · 08/12/2023 18:04

Doc Chelsea boots go with everything. First time u was going to put them on with a dress I was unsure but they go with nearly everything! Pricy but worth the investment (I have a pair over 20 years old and still going strong)
