Comfortable but smart boots

I like Josef Seibel (German) boots.

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.

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.

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

It is Christine but they do Footglove.

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

Hotter. Very comfortable and a variety of styles.

Another vote for Hotter and M&S, here!

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

This is a link to the Moshulu site (they have a sale on). The boots I got on eBay are called Candy Strip but there are other nice ankle boots too:

A Hotter fan but -- BEWARE of postage rates to and from France from the Hotter website. The last time I ordered it was £13 per item and you are responsible for return postage costs which were more expensive from France. So, if you are unsure of size/fit and order two pairs to try on you will have at least £39 postage .
M&S France have a reasonable delivery rate and Clarks France have free postage and returns . Sadly, delivery charges are one of the very few drawbacks of living over here!
I realise many Gransnetters do not like Amazon for ethical reasons but they are a good source of a variety of quality footwear brands, including Hotter and Gabor etc.

I have large as well as wide feet, and tend to get swollen ankles. I also do not find it easy to get boots on - lack of suppleness. I wanted some fairly smart comfortable boots and eventually my daughter found me a pair at Evans. Charcoal grey suede, mid length, and easy to put on as they lace up the front, very comfortable to wear. Good luck with your search.

I have a lovely pair of long Hotter boots but as they are wide fitting, they are also wide round the calves. Although I do have wide feet, my calves are not fat and the boots tend to flap around my legs. So if you have normal/slim calves and wide feet, keep your eyes open when you try them on.

I'm sorry to bring us all down to earth but I have found Primark boots to be fashionable, comfortable and hard wearing

Rieker - they are good.

I like Reiker boots,lots of lovely styles and very comfy.

Hotter - very comfortable boots, good choice of styles.

Oh dear. My most comfy boots are fake Uggs bought cheaply from Amazon. So wrong on so many counts
