Ankle boots that look great with dresses but are comfortable

[Newmeagain]

I am really struggling to find some nice ankle boots that will also be comfortable. I used to have some great ones from Russell and Bromley. I would prefer not completely flat - just a one inch block heel.

i bought some of those slightly taller chunky Chelsea boots that everyone has been wearing but I think my ankles are too narrow for them and so my heel moves and they are really uncomfortable.

I like the barbour ones! Super comfy

The only comfortable ankle boots I've had are from ECCO and they're great - can walk a lot in them.

I'm looking for some too. I bought some gorgeous ones from Fitflop about 8 years ago and they are finally wearing out. I could walk miles in them every day. But I hate the styles Fitflop have now. Just want a simple Chelsea boot with a low heel that is comfortable for walking miles in the city.

These are rather elegant:

(I tend to prefer the clumpier Grenson boots and shoes.)

Have a look at the rest of their boots if the pair I’ve linked aren’t quite what you want.

I second the PP who suggested ECCO. Super comfortable, last forever and stylish

Get ones that fit properly - too big and your feet will slop about in them.
Lace-ups are better for fit.
I have some Grensons but not 1 inch heel.

With chelsea boots, if you need a half-size, don't get the nearest size up and insoles because it almost certainly won't work.

They're not these but similar idea

Gabor might be worth a try.

They are.

I have slim feet and ankles.
I'd suggest you look at Dune, Geox, Mode in Pele and even good old Clarks. I usually have to add an inner sole and wear thick socks.

There's a good range of ankle boots here and they'll be discounted around Black Friday (sometimes up to 50%). I'm usually a size 7 but need a size 8 with Memery. Exchanging for different sizes / styles is easy.

Can I please ask which of the Ecco ones are you finding comfortable? I’m on the lookout too.

It's the ECCO Dress Classic Chelsea boots - I bought them two years ago but assume they're the same?!

I got a pair from Matalan a couple years ago that are really comfy!

I got some some Fat Face a few years ago and are super comfy and go with just about anything, including dresses.

It might not be the look you want but I have narrow feet and ankles and I love my doc Martin Chelsea boots

I have these, lovely, also available in black and brown, very light and comfy.

I’ve got these to wear with midi skirts, they’re beautiful and comfy and not made in a sweatshop. I have the “50” style (linked) which has a higher slimmer heel, but you can also get a “20” style with a lower block heel.

eta: You can find them on Vinted and eBay if you want to save a few pounds on them!

I wear Blundstones. Extremely comfortable and hard wearing. Last for years and imo look good with dresses.

I have these from Skechers in the lighter colour which are really comfortable.

But I'm eyeing up these from Clarks in black.

Thank you for the Ecco details, Bandyurnham and NescafeAndice. Will check it out.

I second the DM Chelsea boot recommendation if you want a slightly chunky look. I wear with short dresses and tights and long dresses.
They look good with turned up jeans too.

@teaandabun , I only supplied the link but thanks. It's really good of you.
The boots are nice but not 'me'.
I have Dealer Boots (like DMs but better quality) as chelsea boots, but have a smarter pair of ankle boots with zips that are ancient but smart, the Grenson lace-up ankle boots. The dealer boots get worn most.

I have a really comfy pair of heeled ankle boots from Clark’s that also look good

the comfiest ankle boots with block heel I have are a cheap suede effect from asos. Could walk for miles in them!

I’ve been wearing the Clarks Orinoco for years. Pretty classic and good value for a well made leather boot. Have brown and black and wear them with everything all winter

I have Gabor ankle boots in black suede so they look quite smart .
Come in half sizes which helps get the best fit and I have very slim narrow heels so my feet don’t slip about in them .
