Black boots

Anyone seen any nice black boots. Looking for something flat that can be worn with jeans and skirts/dresses? I'm about 5'5 and shoe size 4. Thank you. 😊

Could you narrow it down a bit? Smart or casual? Traditional? Pull on or lace-up etc?

Might be best to give an idea of budget too

I don't like brogues especially black ones.

Me neither. I don't like Chelsea boots either.

As others have said the remit needs narrowing down.

I don't like the Dinckleys at all. I think the tractor tyre soles are very ugly. They look cheaper than the traditional boots and will date quickly.

Ankle/just above ankle
Casual but also smart enough for work (maybe asking too much!!)
Preferably under £100

Also not a fan of the chunky platform things

Do you want traditional lace-ups or traditional Chelsea boots or fashion boots?

MidnightEagle · 03/01/2024 23:50

I am open to lace up or a Chelsea type boot. Traditional not fashion.

Here's a selection of Chelsea boots £70 to around £100.

I don't like inside zips on boots and I can't find any lace up boots in your budget that don't have inside zips. I don't know why it's only the more expensive ones which are proper lace up. If you don't mind zips, googling "flat black lace up boots" will bring up lots.

@IHaveNeverLivedintheCastle , I completely disagree with you.
The styles you link look dated to me.

Oh I like these, thank you 😊
Think I'm definitely erring towards the higher ankle!
