The winter I was pregnant my partner spent most trips out holding me up, as my lovely New Look riding boots were the slippiest boots ever!!! I had so many near falls..<br />I have some small heeled knee high boots from Primark which I love and replace every 2 years (thankfully they seem to get them back in!) but again, they don't have great tread.<br />My other issue is finding boots that fit over my calfs!!! I'm guessing the 'average' 'model' woman they base boots on has no calfs.. <br />I love all the above boots though Chloe. I was also in Dorothy P's today and started looking at the boots in there and thought of you. :p They actually had some lovely ones.<br /><br />Caroline.x<br />notesfromcaroline.comCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03007296783721236903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505716782309030758.post-70497545758571649952014-08-28T08:14:40.208+01:002014-08-28T08:14:40.208+01:00All lovely choices I normally leave it too late to...All lovely choices I normally leave it too late to buy boots but last year purchased not one but two from dune and love them can't wait to get them out.
