I am on the hunt for a pair of the must have shoes of the moment.... Ankle boots. I just love the look of them and will no doubt be purchasing a few pairs. I really want a red pair and a black pair to start with and then perhaps some chocolate ones. The only thing is that all the ones I have seen in the magazines have insanely high heels on them. Now heels that high will only mean one thing for me and that is a broken neck and or legs. Anyone spotted any ankle boots with a more manageable heel?

I have purchased a pair of Robert Clergerie black suede ankle boots with a 10cm thick heels. They are so yummy I can't wait for the chill in the weather so I can strutt my stuff.

Sorry I just don't get the ankle boot thing - too many 80s conotations :shakehead: Some of them are way wrong. Please stay away from that runched at the front look :vomit:

I don't get it either Medusa....I fully accept that they're "in", but they make me shudder with the 80s-ness of it all. But don't mind us gals, I'm sure you'll all look great!

I think the ankle boots with the dramatic heels are fabulous, but because I'm so tall I can't wear them. The ones without heels don't really do it for me. I hate it when that happens! Usually I find a shoe I like then hunt down a similar one that doesn't have a heel.

Toastie if you love it, just wear it! Don't let your height restrict you. Look what happened to P. Diana & Nicole K forced to wear flats by their insecure husbands. :shakehead: Be the statuesque goddess you are & be proud, I say!

I never thought they'd be back... but have bought two pairs already... well one anyways, the other is on layby..

Have got a red ankle boot, sort of scrunch style, pointy with a low heel. Love them! :hearts:
PCC this might be what you are looking for. They also come in black & grey. I got them in Melbourne at Laurent Shoes & thought I'd look so cool in Bris Vegas as being the only one owning them, but them spotted them in some stores here! :explode:
I've seen them at Wittner Shoes & Betts...

The others I have on layby are black, pointy, with a slight buckle on the side & high but not too high as I'm tall. Can't wait to pick them up!

I do the same thing! Thank goodness ballet flats are still in - these are my wardrobe staples!

Sorry, can't get into the ankle boots - I think it looks good on Kate Moss etc but not sure it would on me! Good luck though!

Ankle boots are gorgeous on tall girls! The taller, the better, I say!

Not for me though...sounds silly but I don't like my legs. Too stumpy. I like knee-high boots for the glam cover-up factor (heel as well as biker/motorcyle, for my 'don't come near me' days) and ballet flats with tights.

I got some ankle boots today! They are charcoal grey suede! I love them even though I will probably break my neck in them. I however will wear mine only with bootleg jeans or loose fitting pants so people really won't know they are ankle boots.

Me either Medusa.:question: I have a couple of pairs and they stay firmly under a pair of pants!

Under pants is cool but I always see them advertised with mini dresses & I can't see how anyone other than models or skinny teenagers can pull off this look.

Well girls my " ankle boots " ( as they are titled ) actually come 6cm above my ankle bone and will be worn over opaque black tights with below knee length dress/skirts. They have a 1930's look and I think they are fabulous.
The wonderful aspect to this forum is how we can all be our own person and express our differences without fear or favour. :bunny:

Very true, lots of different opinions make the world go round. Do like the sound of yours though, very stylish!

Thanks LB!

Bumping this thread as there's been heaps of chatter in the Shoe's thread! :typing:

I'm buying some tomorrow and they will look gawgeous.

Which ones RBB?

Not sure yet emmy, but am determined to get some! Will post a pic tomorrow night (hopefully!)

:clapping:

cool RBB , i really want black ankle boots that have a stack heel & can be worn everyday :)

I love ankle boots!

I used to have a pair of black Victorian style lace up ones with a 4 inch heel, they looked awesome under a long skirt :glee:
Of course the ones I have got now are by Red or Dead and are bright red with spiky silver heels!

Woot, found some cool ones! Bought these today in black:

cute! :clapping:

It's blank :chuckle:

Weird, the link works ok from my end....here it is, though imagine it in black.

Haha, much better than wearing a white screen on your feet!

How are you planning on wearing them?

I have a few nice black dresses that I want to rock up a bit.

Can you take a piccie once you've worn them with the outfit - I want to see how they work (you can leave your pretty little head off!!!)

This chick on the tram last night had leopard ankle boots - I wanted to take them off her and let her know this was for the greater good - ankle boots I can stomach, but not in animal print.

Sure thing, yes, I won't subject anyone to me 'ead!

Leopard huh? I believe our LB has been known to rock animal print, the saucy minx! Luisa, am I totally off base here?

Please, you would be doing a great justice by sharing your lovely face with us - you'd be up for Australian of the Year for humanity.

Ugh animal print - personally - just can't stand it. NOt my thing. But each to their own!

I own one piece - an leopard print cross over slinky sleeveless dress with splits up the thighs. Wore it to my birthday party. I think the style of the dress plus the print makes it look damned hot!:whipcrack:

I LOVE your boots RBB!:clapping:

Oh, thank you - hey were definitely the nicest of those I tried on. Some are quite scary!

And your dress was amazing, I've seen pics to prove it!

Ooohhhhh those are hot RBB :clapping:

Oh gosh RBB. I love your boots and I love about 10 pairs of shoes on the Mollini website! Thank goodness they don't have online sales otherwise I would have made a few purchases!

Very noice RB, love the round toe.

I love leopard print! I have a pair of leopard print ballets with black trim. I don't know about boots though, that would look a bit hookerish.

:chuckle: Or wearing more than one piece!:shockedhair::vomit:

I have a gorgeous pair of black ankle boots but unfortunetly i can't wear them for to long because they have a werid heel and it's awkard to walk in!

:chuckle: Or wearing more than one piece!:shockedhair::vomit:
Yeah that is the Golden Rule. Only 1 piece of animal printer per outfit.

Come and visit Toorak gals, gold animal print is the fashion of the locals over 60. :chuckle:

When I used to live in Toorak I'd go past some of the boutiques and man - I couldn't even laugh I was so stunned at the bad taste.

:chuckle::chuckle:

You should have seen this woman or should I say Woah-Man who rocked up to her daughters wedding in head to toe leopard print! She attracted more attention than the bride.:chuckle::chuckle::chuckle: My only comment was "Geeze"!!:chuckle::chuckle:

I wore the new boots today! With a long-sleeved black dress belted at the waist, black opaque tights and cream trench coat. They looked pretty cool, phew!

Sounds hot RBB! :clapping:

Will recreate on the weekend!

Yes pics pls! :hugs:

I want to get a pair of nice black ankle boots that I can wear with a long black "floaty" skirt, I would love to find a pair like I used to have, very victorian looking but with a killer heel, hubby called them my miss whiplash boots!! :redcheeks:
Do you ladies have any ideas where I might find some?

Can't help with Madame Lash Boots - but I did need to tell you that I saw the most awesome ankle boots today (not that I need any more footwear). I have never really been an ankle boot person - long or nothing for me but these one today were like boxers boots with laces right up the front. Actulally now that I have written about them they don't sound that flash, but boy were they cool. I want want want them **James, how come we don't a emoticon that is salivating?**

I love ankle boots! I've got one pair of fake-suede black booties I picked up from Target for $40, which are just insanely comfortable.

me and my sister own like 40 ankle boots, ranging from flats to skyscrapers. They are so comfy, but you can't even take a step without party feets, buy em with every pair of shoes you get, EVERY!

I've come across some on Ebay - try looking in vintage, or searching for granny boots.
