Currently trying to find some knee high brown boots, which should be easy and suddenly isn't. My old pair have holes in teh bottom and are actually about 10 years old.
I wear dresses a lot in the winter and without a pair I will struggle.
I want flat or chunky sole for walking in towns/ days out (not country side) going for leather as want to be able to step in puddles wear in the pouring rain.
I am a bit of an awkward size a 7.5 but can sometimes fit a 7/8 and don't want a completely flat sole as that is often uncomfortable.
So I have tried 4 pairs so far and none fit properly, a few are too big around the ankle and then one was to tight around the calf (which I've never had normally boots are to big for my calf).
These Geox puckered around the ankle and the folds rubbed even after a few minutes of wear.
These ECCO did the same and are normally my favourite brand for comfortable shoes my last boots were from them.
