Wanting ankle boots for wide feet

I know this has been discussed before, but I now face the same old battle to find some comfortable flat ankle boots for my awkward feet.

I have quite wide feet, E fitting. Also high instep, funny big toes that wiggle a hole in shoes unless I have a deep footbed. And if that weren't enough, thick ankles, so need extra room/adjustability there. And I want them easy to walk in during bad weather.

I have not got on with Hotter in past but may try the Whisper Boots as they have 2 zips, so should be easier to pull on. Or the lace up boots - Ruby looks quite nice.http://www.hotter.com/gb/en/ruby-boots?fit=Extra+Wide+Fit&colour=Rich Navy

I love their Pixie boots but they are pull on, so not for me.

I looked at the Cosy feet but they are sooo frumpy. Why can't they make them a bit more fashionable?

I like the look of Wider Fit more www.widerfitshoes.co.uk/sp+ladies-ladies-boots-bernay+bern6. I did order from them several years ago and the whole order went back. Didn't fit and a bit cheap looking in the flesh.

Hotter leather does look good quality, compared to the others. I have had Clarks Un, but they have no new styles in ankle boots this year. I have their Everlay Mandy .

I did try some Padders boots but they will also be going to the charity shop, the leather is painfully hard around the ankles.

Just wondered if any one has had recent success with similar problems?

Just been looking on Clarks, and realised it's the Matron Ella I have, rather old and worn now.

I just bought the Everlay Mandy in wide, with 20% off, so down to £52. Similar shoe, but a low wedge heel, which I like as it feels stable. They will be fine for work etc if they fit. I may still try and get a more funky style to wear with casual jeans etc.

Clarks really need to improve the names of their shoes!!!

I take an E fitting and do not find Hotter shoes fit me or comfortable, the fit on Clarkes seems to have changed as well, so my go to range now is Van Dal. I know which size will fit and am never disappointed. The shoes are expensive but they do have regular good price reductions, and some real bargins on their web site.

Oh thanks, I think there is a factory seconds shop for van dal in Norwich. Most of their boots have a small heel, but I like these. www.vandalshoes.com/all-boots/ankle-boots/kisco-black-nubuck.html#.WhPA5uCnzqA

My Clarks E fit boots have arrived, and I am pleased with them. Quite smart and good leather.

On my search I found a site new to me, which has some nice quality wide options - www.sandpipershoes.com/women.html

I am still going to try some Hotters when next in town.

I need to stop spending for a while - unless of course I see a Magimix at a fantastic price in the Black Friday deals!

am surprised that nobody has mentioned ECCO. Have used them online in the past for some of my most comfortable shoes ever that last and last. They have now opened a shop near me (it's a Danish make) and have bought myself the most comfortable, strong pair of ankle boots with zips either side and slip-proof thick (but not clumpy) sole. I have bunions in both feet and a narrow heel - not easy to accomodate. I totally forget I'm wearing them. They cost me around E106 but I know I'll have them for years as the leather is good quality but supple.
