Comfortable but smart boots

I've just bought a pair of very comfortable Moshulu ankle boots. I've had the Moshulu catalogue (they also sell lots of colourful slippers) but had never bought anything as they are quite pricey. However, when about to throw out an old catalogue, I saw the boots I had looked at a couple of years ago, did a search and found just what I wanted on eBay - they were ex-display boots and I got them at a great price. The few spots were easily cleaned; very pleased!

Another Hotter fan here for boots ( nice choice) and they do wide fitting too.

Ugg boots are as comfortable as slippers. Expensive but they do last for years.

Last few years Ive gone for Lotus. Very soft leather I also have wide feet. My daughter has bought me my last pair on line.

Thanks, I will have a look at Timberland, Footglove and Hotter. Never heard of Hotter or Footglove before.

Timberland boots and shoes are fantastic. I have to use orthotics and have arthritic feet, knees, hip pain etc - so I buy good shoes. It's difficult to find footwear that is stylish and meets my definite needs. Timberland - great

Another vote for Hotter and M&S, here!

Hotter. Very comfortable and a variety of styles.

My Clarks short boots have been brilliant. They do online and have a sale at present I believe.

It is Christine but they do Footglove.

M&S deliver in France but it is a limited selection unlike UK.

Just an afterthought - it is interesting how many UK clothes are on Amazon.fr now. I have bought from Joules and Seasalt recently and been really pleased with what was available.

M and S deliver direct in France and no problem with returns either. For comfort I like Hotter though. These are on Amazon as are lots of other brands like Fitflop.

I love my M & S Footglove ankle boots. I have a flat pair and heeled pair, they do a wide fit too. Could you ask a friend/relative in the U.K to act as intermediary to order and send new Boots out to you? Bit of a faff I know but worth it for something you really want.

I like Josef Seibel (German) boots.

Can anyone recommend a brand of really comfortable but reasonably smart ankle boots? For years I have only worn Naot boots and bought them from a German supplier on EBay, but unfortunately they no longer deliver to France. I have tried other brands in the past and abandoned them as they are just too uncomfortable to walk in. I have quite wide feet.
