I want BOOTS NOT FLIP FLOPS! Anyone seen any nice ones?

This week both of my pairs of boots have died.

All the shops are full of sandals and flipflops. Looks like it's going to be an online hunt!

Can anyone recommend any nice boots? Black or brown, flat - no heel, that I can tuck my skinny jeans into, and preferably that last longer than 6 months. High street prices rather than designer prices.

I feel your pain! We've just stopped having 'winter boot' weather & I've realised my ankle boots (for spring/autumn) need replaced.

Have just trawled amazon to no success, going to look at sarenza, free delivery & returns so probably worth a try.

Yep I tried amazon the other day and got no where.

If you find anything do share Sparky, if I find anything nice I too shall post it on here.

Still freezing up north, went out in my ballet pumps to do school run yesterday and feet were frozen.

I bought some Fly Mols last week from Amazon. I know they are a love/hate deal.. but OMG they are the comfiest things I have ever work.. they just FIT. They look great with my skinnys and with skirts and thick tights.

Obviously now I have bought them the weather should change to roasting hot shortly!!

Like these Medusa?

Are they quite a slim fit on your legs or roomy? Some boots don't fit my legs and some do.

It is more than I usually pay but as I said I'd rather try and find some that will last.

White Stuff still had boots online I think and they always get good reviews.

Yes they are the ones..I got the brown ones..on me now in fact :)
They have a buckle at the side that adjusts but I would say they are definitely for slimmer calves.. I'm quite long and lanky and they actually fit my legs rather than looking wellie-like!

I tried them on in Schuh first to check the fit then bought when the price on amazon came down a bit:)

Probably be too tight on me then Medusa, I'm not the most slender of leg!

I have ordered some Rocket Dog Tavern ones off ebay. Hope they fit!
