Just been trawling through the Hotter and Clarks ankle boots on the Internet, as I could do with a new pair, but the names! I like Everlay Mandy ones, (Clarks) but dare I go in and ask for them.?Then there are Matron Ella.Sounds more my age group.

I have these Reiker tan leather boots and love them to bits. Bought them last year for £60 and money well spent. They are light as a feather. The laces make them adjust perfectly and make them stay on, I have very narrow heels.

MawBroon, I am exactly the same, I counted my boots and shoes while I was having a sort out but stopped counting after 30, I did discover I have no tan boots though so just had to order some from M&S, well, I did have a 20% for there last weekend so it was a shame to waste it.wink

As well as needing a new black pair, I fancy some in taupe as well.Or tan, or ,or, etc.?

Ramblingrose22 you could try James Inglis or Medissa online they do slim fittings and so far I have had a good service from them.

Same here Monica...I've recenlty bought two pairs in Toulon from Chausees....just looked to see if they have a name...they don't but I can live with it!

My boots aren't nearly as grand, they came from Shoe Zone. However, I like them so much, last year I bought an identical pair in case they discontinue them

Well, my Skechers boots turned up today, or rather they didn't. When I opened the box it was empty! Straight on the phone to Amazon where a very nice man apologised and said I will receive another pair by lunchtime tomorrow. The missing pair has obviously been stolen somewhere along the line.

lemongrove Thu 28-Sept-17 19:26:59

Well, they did come a long way NotTooOld wonder if they reached Leicester, or just the box?Has this happened before to you?

lemongrove Thu 28-Sept-17 19:32:41

overthehill I had a pair of ankle boots years ago from a very cheap shop, not even leather, and they were comfy, stylish and lasted really well.

nottoold
must be nice boots

Not about boots, but shoes, bought a lovely pair of velvet embroidered flats. My hairdresser said " ooh, Kurt Geiger, I love them!" Had to tell her they were £8 from Primark lol! ?

Gosh a lot of posh boots on here Boots with names eh ?mine are just called Boots Having a difficult sore joint on one foot I can't order online ?
Gosh empty box syndrome How on earth would you be able to prove the Boots hadn't arrived what a dilemma glad they believed you
I didn't realise sketchers did Boots I ll have to look in my local shop that stocks sketchers
I ve got just one pair zip side that I ve had for years but hoping to look for some new ones this autumn

lemongrove Fri 29-Sept-17 08:42:48

I think that most shoes and boots have names BlueBelle
Or at least I know that Clarks and Hotters do.

Overnight my boots have gone from Swansea to Leicester to Birmingham and now they are said to be on their way to me. They'll be worn out before they get here. No, lemongrove, I've never received an empty box of boots before although DH did once have an empty package delivered because the stuff had slipped out of a gap at the bottom and, mimiro, I hope they are nice (Skechers) but I wouldn't have thought they were desirable enough for anyone to break open the Amazon packaging and nick them although that's obviously what happened.

lemongrove Fri 29-Sept-17 11:29:03

These boots are made for walking ??

NotTooOld Fri 29-Sept-17 11:35:29

lemongrove grin

Hurrah, they've arrived - and they fit! Want to know if they have a name? They do - it says on the box 'Winter Nights'.
Winter Nights? What sort of name is that for a pair of black lace-up ankle boots and I don't mean that description in a sexy sort of way, more a walking in the country sort of way.

Thanks Kim0612 for that discount code! Just ordered my third pair of Matron Ellas, having had a pair since forever. I didn't know they were still available - the most comfy (and still reasonably stylish) boots I've owned. I think I shall call them Ella, leaving out the Matron bit, now that I know them so well!! grin wink Wish they did them in red though.

lemongrove Fri 29-Sept-17 11:58:24

NotTooOld grin Winter Nights, walking to the pub?

I am going to buy the Matron Ella I have decided, on so many recommendations.Need to go and actually try them on to get the right size though.I would also like them in tan colour , a suggestion to Clarks?

cangran Fri 29-Sept-17 12:15:35

Kim19 - well, you've gone and done it - persuaded me to buy a pair of Reiker ankle boots that I've been drooling over - sound very much like yours except in blue!

Kim0612 Fri 29-Sept-17 12:31:24

lemongrove, if you wanted me to forward my instore code for 20% off then just inbox me your email address.

lemongrove Sat 30-Sept-17 18:58:20

Just come on here and seen your post Kim and that is really kind of you, but ( drat!) bought my boots this morning.I should have checked GN first.?

lemongrove Sat 30-Sept-17 18:59:08

Anyway, they are super comfy and look good too.?

Kim0612 Mon 02-Oct-17 10:36:49

That is the main thing lemongrove,

DanniRae Tue 03-Oct-17 11:54:30

I wonder if Clarks have noticed a rise in the sale of "Matron Ella" boots? grin

trisher Tue 03-Oct-17 12:39:14

Oh I don't need a new pair of boots- I have 5 ankle and 2 calf length but now I WANT some. I haven't any suede ones. I should have shouldn't I?hmm
