but I'm not really enjoying the knitted bit at the top Someone must have the perfect pair they have linked to previously/bought. I need a slim leg.

Any ideas?

I've seen those in person, can't remember where though. Very nice! Agree about the knitted top though, they looked like they could make you hot.

Do you like these from fatface?

LadyGlencoraPalliser · 16/09/2009 22:00

I got those fatface ones today. They are fab. Sales assistant had taken hers for a long walk on the beach at the weekend and they still looked brand new.

They are okay but really I'm looking for a clompier block heel, but not too high. Must also be dark tan/brown

Those over the knee ones look v. flat in RL noah - imo too wellie/panto-like.

Like the Duo ones - my dd had a v. similar pair last year from M&S - and a lot cheaper! So anyone with small feet might want to take a look to see what they have this year...

cool, how does the leather last and what colour did you get

OP posts:
squeaver · 18/09/2009 13:17

I got the sort of petrol blue-ish ones (actually a bit darker than that can't remember the name). Wore them with jeans and some skirts almost every day last winter and will be doing the same this year. They just need a bit of a clean.
