Looking for lovely new black knee high boots- recommendations?

25 replies

Ideally in the sale! I had to throw out my trusty black boots I wore to work for years, they finally died after many times going to the cobblers! I'm looking for a lovely new pair, anyone come across any they'd recommend? I tried some on in Schuh but they were so uncomfy and cheap feeling.

I'd love a leather pair that feel soft, knee high and with a block heel not more than about 7cm high. I've no idea where to look! Thanks

Google?

Geox have a reasonable selection & in the sale.

or Jigsaw.

I've just ordered some from Duo Boots, been wanting to try for ages as they do a range of calf width sizes. Lot of people on here rate them.

Google?

You google clothes?

I’m not entirely sure ‘Google’ is a valuable piece of advice to bring to a Style & Beauty board?

These were highly recommended in The Telegraph today:

They look like wellies.

Ilikeyoursleeves · 26/12/2024 22:53

Thanks! I love those Jones ones, I forgot about that shop!

Also I know Google exists but I'm looking for recommendations for quality boots from folk in the know.

Sorry I agree those Cos ones look like wellies 😳

Thanks all for the recommendations, I've ordered a paid from Jones the Bootmaker! But also eyeing up ones from LK Bennett... they're nearly half price in the sale so wondering if I should get them too, to try on that is, one of the pairs would go back!

The F&F ones are gorgeous apart from the 'spanish riding boot' styling above the zip.

The Jones ones are nicer than the LK Bennett ones.

Has anyone seen any in the same knee high style in black suede?

The customary pointless post🙄

Eminybob · 27/12/2024 16:04

Thanks for the thread op, I'm now eyeing up a pair of the Jones boots.

But, does anyone know where I can find the measurements for the different calf fittings? Annoyingly it isn't in the size and fitting guide Hmm

These are lovely boots- I have these!

Emanwenym · 27/12/2024 16:47

@Darklane ,try the M& S web site and search for black leather mid heel boots.
Women's Boots at M&S

Darklane · 27/12/2024 17:08

Thank you for that, Emanwenym. Some lovely ones but not got my size. I noticed someone up thread was looking for brown suede? There were several pairs on that M&S link.

Emanwenym · 27/12/2024 17:36

Sorry about that. Some lovely boots, but for someone else. Would Clark's have some?

It's these ones I ended up buying from Jones:

I wanted not too tall a heel as they are for work and i already have some ankle boots with a bigger heel and I can't walk in them for the whole day!

I decided not to get the LK Bennett ones too, hopefully the Jones ones will fit!

Good choice, @Ilikeyoursleeves . Had to exit that site sharpish. Too much temptation.

With a smart pair of boots like that one, all you need is a smart overcoat and you look presentable, even if you're in a tracksuit underneath it.

Ilikeyoursleeves · 27/12/2024 18:48

Thank you @Emanwenym!! Here's hoping 🤣👢👢
