Ankle boots

I've got Orabella Anna in black. Sounds rather racy for a boot! Our local Clark's shop has just had a good sale on and they'd reduced some knee length, and ankle boots by 40%. Still not as good a bargain as that tv shopping channel's "one time only" though!

I'm waiting for some Skechers ankle boots to come from Amazon. Yesterday they were in Belgium but today they are in Leicester so they are getting nearer.

Despite disliking the name and not feeling at all matronly I've got Matron Ella, they are really comfy and have lasted well! I've also had some from M and S that have been good value, no idea what they are called though.

I've got Matron Ella too! I got them in a wide fitting, and love them to bits. I wish they did them in other colours.
Clarks shoe names are a mystery. Each shoe is named with two apparently random words or names that don't convey or suggest anything about the shoes. Very strange.

I didn't realise that shoes had names. I buy most of mine when I am in France (from supermarkets or clothing chains). Similarly when I do buy in the UK. I have never noticed names on any of them. Personally I prefer model numbers to names.

Matron Ella sounds kiss of death in the fashion world!
May I recommend a Hotter Pixie Boots (unobjectionable name and VERY comfy)? Soft as slippers, good range of colours, suede.
I have bought them before but used to find them hard to get on as I have high insteps and am getting stiff, but this year's style comes with a ZIP so (at the risk of infuriating Pedants on another thread) "what's not to like"??

I don't know why Clarks name their shoes or who is responsible but they need to stop and give them a number of something.

I've got Matron Ella too and love them. They are so comfortable and look good with trousers or leggings. In fact I love them so much that I have a brand new pair put away ready to take their place. (TBH I don't really care what they are called but now I think about it it is a silly name!!)

I have a 20% off code if anybody wants to order online, it's BTS17, it's valid until Sunday.

Doesn't matter what they're called as long as you like them. I love ankle boots!
Thanks for code Kim.

I love ankle boots. But as I have at least four pairs, plus long boots I can't justify (to myself) another pair.... Ill have another cup of tea instead

Jeepers! Just buy the boots/shoes that you like and fit you. Who cares what dopey name someone came up with. Have you ever looked at the colour names on paint charts? They take you into another world. Life is too short for these sort of conniptions. Just strut your stuff and enjoy.

I always go to the shop to try them on and don't buy shoes or boots on the Internet, so imagine going into Clarks and asking for Everlay Mandy ( I imagine men choose these names!) Ever lay Mandy? ?
I woukd have to mumble it as Everly Mandy, and then the assistant will call out to the manager 'have you heard of ever lay Mandy Boots'? sniggers all round.?

I have just had a pair of Softinos delivered, I love them, expensive but soft leather comfortable

Nice to know the Matron Ella are good though, thanks.?
Mawbroon I did try the Hotter pixie boots on last year but they felt too flat ( or could it be my flat feet?)?And I ended up buying Mystery boots from them instead.They are not very mysterious.

I've recently purchased a pair of Reiker ankle boots tan in colour with a little square of matching tweed check. Caught my eye for sure. However, the clever design has really impressed me in that they have laces and an inside leg zip. Laces for me are a turn off but the idea here is that you set up the lace tension to your particular comfort zone initially and then revert to using the zip only. Brilliant!

Kim Thanks for the code I am ordering the Pixie boots in Teal for this winter I'm due a new pair of boots last pair I bought was from M&S 3 yrs ago and I do wear boots a lot in Autumn/Winter.I alway try on in store before ordering on line and I tried these a couple of weeks ago in Liverpool1 and fell in love with them,even more so with 20% discount.

I am looking for new boots forget about Amazon.

As a size 9 I really struggle to get my size in most ranges. Strange as feet sizes have increased with the passing generations, but sadly still true. Yesterday i bought some men's canvas shoes from primary for my hols. But I guess it is ok, because they are pink!

That should have read Primark

You are welcome glammanana, hope the code works for you.

Just wanted to post about fitflop boots. On my second pair now, first lasted 3 years. Not want you call a high fashion item but warm and so so comfortable.

You're all very fortunate to be able to order footwear online without having tried the same style first in the shop.

I have narrow feet and have a lot of trouble finding full-length boots that don't slip off at the back. Ankle boots are easier as they are often more "shaped" around the heel.

If anyone has found boots - whether ankle or full length - that are OK for narrow feet, please let me know.

Thank you Kim!!
