    I've not seen any (may have better luck in the sales?) but be careful, I've seen so many shoddy pairs out there- they buckle at the knee, rip at the seams, sag or just have uneven flaps of leather (or pretend leather) which looks terrible and can drag down any outfit, just seems a shame to waste even £25 on something which makes you look worse or scruffy so be on the look out for quality when you shop for these. Thinner leather will buckle, rip or sag more, super soft leather will sag and discolour (as it stretches).

    Ebay's likely to be your best bet, a decent brand for lots less than new on the high street.
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.

    Next, Hush Puppies, Doc Martens, can't go far wrong with any of these.

    Tends to be the more expensive brands which offer the quality- when you think most of the time it boils down to the actual leather (or fabric) quality. To create, look after and ship suck leather/fabric, you need to spend money. Then to stick it together correctly (the grain of the fabric or leather going the right way so any stretching doesn't affect the style) requires trained professionals who will have fees to pay. Then theres the quality of the soles and heels....

    I would suggest places which are known for bootmaking, specialised shoe stores such as Office, Jones, Kate Kuba...etc or recognised brand names if you do go to a mass retailer such as Debenhams or House of Fraiser, failing that look for a company which prides itself on the quality of its merchandise such as John Lewis, M&S or similar. The reason I'd suggest these is that if there are any problems its going to be far easier to return the item to the store and get a repair or even a refund. If you buy from somewhere like Primark and try this, your likely to get a raise eyebrow and something to the meaning of 'you spent £30 what did you expect..."

    Maybe wait for the sale? most stock gets some sort of reduction although having said that a great deal of stores are having their sales on at the moment.
