I wasn't able to find low-heeled high boots last winter and I know I'm going to be hard to fit, so I'm starting now. I want a pair of black knee-high boots with a low heel to wear with dresses and skirts (and hopefully leggings, but those are thing, so it should work, right?). I don't really care if they're leather or not, but I do want a classic style that isn't going to look dated any time soon. My budget is low, $100-150 max. Now the really difficult part, it seems. I wear size 11 and my calves are very narrow (12 3/4"). Searching online, I've seen several pair that say 13" calf measurement, but that's always for the size 7 and they always make the calves larger as the shoes size go larger, it seems. Any ideas for brands to look at as the fall boots start to come out?

I'd also like a pair of low-heeled booties - I've got some shorter boots to wear with boot legged jeans, but I don't think they'll work with leggings and dress, I think they're too tall. I may not be able to afford both this year and I may have better luck with the booties, so ideas for those would be appreciated as well.
