Could anyone suggest footwear to go with this dress please?

I've never posted in S&B before so be gentle if you hate the item below! I bought the dress pictured at a bargain price in the sale as I really struggle with dresses being a short (159cm) 'apple'. Size 8 mostly. I'm early sixties (in my head still 30) and am not sure what footwear to put with it. It's much longer on me than it is on the model, hitting just below the knee. Knee length boots would work, I think (need to get some!) but can anyone suggest anything else that might work? Thank you in advance.

Chunky loafers would be a good alternative to the boots

Yes chunky loafers or brogues would work, but I also like Chelsea boots with this kind of dress.

Thank you all very much. I love those All Saints boots @Britpopbaby and have some Moshulu ones (not quite in the same league!) that are not dissimilar. I could do with a winter pair of shoes as I tend to live in boots so chunky loafers are also a good idea @mealdeal20
