Next's 'great quality' £60 boots that can be 'worn all night' reduced to £15
The price markdown on these Next Black Leather Forever Comfort Chisel Toe Chelsea Ankle Boots means customers can save £45 Next has slashed the price of a sought-after pair of black ankle Chelsea boots, which many customers praise for their high quality and comfort that lasts all night. In the retailer's latest online clearance event, the Black Leather Forever Comfort Chisel Toe Chelsea Ankle Boots have been discounted to just £15, tumbling from the original £60. This significant reduction allows shoppers to save a hefty £45. Next touts these ankle-high boots as " stylish" and highlights their smooth leather construction with a chisel toe and a "stretchy" elasticated side panel for ease. They also feature a zippered fastening for simple slipping on and off. Next further notes: " A Forever Comfort cushioned footbed provides cushioned comfort, finished with a short heel." The boots boast a 5cm heel and come in sizes ranging from a UK three to nine, though stock is already dwindling in some sizes. Customers can opt for either a standard or wide fit, with two colour options available: classic black and a chic navy. For those considering other similar styles, Amazon offers the Rodawu Women's Ankle Chelsea Boots at £38, available in three shades. Meanwhile, Debenhams has cut the price of the Wallis Wide Fit Alma Faux Suede Kitten Heel Pointed Ankle Boots to £22, down from £55, reports Coventry Live. With an impressive average rating of 4.7 out of five stars, Next's Black Leather Forever Comfort Chisel Toe Chelsea Ankle Boots have won over shoppers. A customer named Anneke shared her satisfaction, saying: "Very good quality, comfortable and smart. Reasonable price." One satisfied customer shared: "Lovely boots, wore them out last night and they were comfy all night including the walk home! Looked great with trousers." Another added: "Super comfy and stylish boots. Just what I was looking for!" However, not everyone was thrilled, as one disgruntled buyer reported: "Very poor quality. Save your money and put it towards a better quality pair of boots," after experiencing the leather peeling off after minimal wear. Another noted a slight issue, saying: "The reason for 4 starts rather than 5 is that the fit around the lower ankle is not quite right for my foot.... but being suede, I expect them to soften and fit better over time." Despite some niggles, the bulk of feedback was glowing, with many five-star reviews. Praise continued with one person commenting: "Beautiful navy colour and material. Very comfy, they look smart and stylish." Another said: "Perfect for wide feet. Fits great and very comfy to walk in. Very flattering don't make feet look wide. Good quality." A customer who opted for the 'extra wide' version expressed delight: "Fantastic to be able to buy fashionable footwear in 'extra wide' sizing. These boots are super comfy, but elegant at the same time, thanks to the shaped heel. And there is adequate room inside for a lightly padded insole if needed. The blue is a greyish navy, which suits my intended outfits perfectly."

Amazon claims drones will be quieter than its delivery vans
Amazon has claimed its drones will make less noise than delivery vans as it tries to secure permission for Britain's first aerial package deliveries. The company has told local authorities in Darlington, County Durham, where it is planning to trial deliveries, that noise from its drones 'is likely to be marginally less or similar to that experienced during a residential delivery via van'. Amazon has faced complaints from some locals about potential disruption from the deliveries, which could start before Christmas. Planning documents said that noise from Amazon's drones are expected to be no more than 72 decibels – roughly the sound of a washing machine or shower. 'The duration of the drone delivery is very short (30 seconds), compared to the van delivery (two minutes) and similarly events from a van delivery such as van door banging brake, manoeuvring and knocking on doors, are likely to be more potentially disturbing events than the drone delivery,' consulting firm Tetra Tech said in Amazon's submission. Amazon is pledging two-hour drone deliveries from its hub in Darlington in what is expected to be Britain's first drone delivery services. The aircraft will take off from a special area of its local warehouse, fly at a height of between 55 and 85 metres before dropping a package into residents' gardens at a height of four metres. It plans to have four drones operational, with the fleet capable of carrying out 21 flights an hour. The service will only deliver on weekdays between 9am and 5pm, and during 'good weather', according to application documents. A group of residents who live near Amazon's warehouse have written to oppose the application on noise grounds. 'Despite claims ... that drone-related noise is within acceptable levels, the very novelty and inconsistency of drone noise – with sharp, tonal, and high-pitched overflights – will drastically change the character of this area,' they said. 'Unlike road traffic or industrial hum, drones emit non-continuous, unpredictable noise, often perceived as more intrusive and stressful.' Amazon first tested drones in the UK before moving its trials to the US. The company is one of several working with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) on trials of autonomous drones. A spokesman said: 'We'll continue to work closely with the CAA as they develop the regulatory framework to make commercial drone delivery a reality in the UK. 'In the meantime, we will also engage with the Darlington community to answer questions and collect feedback as we seek to offer this new delivery option.'
