Knee high boots with a heel, 70s style

I love these R&B ones but they're very expensive, so hopefully can find a cheaper version. I love this style of boot, does anyone know where I can get a decent pair for under £250? Any idea how to style them?

Fwiw, I think they look much nicer than the R&B ones. I prefer the block toe and the sole is neater. I'm not a fan of platforms.

@YoullCatchYourDeathInTheFog Yes, I agree the Sam Edelman Faren Knee High Boots, are stylish, flattering and feminine and I would definitely wear those (in fact I may buy a pair!) , not so keen on the R&B boots to me they are too chunky. I love the colour of the Faren too. But I'm 58 so just become a grandmother so probably hit the frumpy category😂!!

I think these are nice functional boots for shopping etc, and have some similar. I like tan coloured boots as opposed to black.

I used to have a pair almost identical to those, the only difference was that mine had a full-length zip.

They were a birthday present for my 22nd, in 1977, so very 70s!

These are nice too, definitely boots I'd wear. I am a lover of boots!

The Jones Guia boots have arrived! They're not as tight on the leg as I wanted, but I think I prefer this fit. The other two pairs haven't come yet but I'm definitely keeping these!

They have a red tint, they're very nice.

They're nice.

I prefer a looser fitting boot. Really tight fitting, zipped boots were a thing when I was a teenager in the 1970s and I didn't like them then. Always thought "proper boots" should be pull on with no zips at all or at most the short inset section inset like yours.

These boots are really nice @willsandnoodle and suit you. They are stylish and elegant and show off your slim legs, I would definitely keep them 😀

Thank you! I plan to wear them with mid length dresses, so no leg on show!

You'll be able to get jeans inside if you fancy that look
