Re: Womens Boots

Plenty on line ... but is a pain if they don't fit .. like these for instance:

Snow Boots | Mirror Reader Offers

Did get a great pair from Next about 18 months ago .. fur lined and waterproof with good grips, only £20 ... but, dang, don't seem to have them now ... sorry.

Docs are not very lady like though unless you are going for the cross dressing butch lesbian look. Older ones were always lacking in insulation so needed lots of socks to keep your feet warm but not worn any for ages.

We got Rhonda some really nice boots just before Christmas, supposed to go under the tree but the weather meant they were needed straight away. They were from Winfields.

I can't wear Asda shoes, find they are really rubbish and last no time at all. I am hard on footwear though and usually have to buy decent quality shoes. I find if I pay twice as much they last a lot longer than twice as long and are more comfortable.

I'm not a fashion follower not really a typical lady, I walk mile and a half per day then moving about on my feet, I'm all about comfortable in what I wear.

if you know someone who has a Littlewoods catalogue, they have a sale on at the moment, might be worth having a look in there

Army surplus, if as you say you're really not bothered by looks but want hard wear & practicality.

Re: Womens Boots

I got me and the girl some Karrimor walking boots from that Sports place in the Mall in Blackburn ( Sports Direct? Sports Connection? - opposite Game) paid £75 for both pairs and mine alone had an rrp of £65, they've been a godsend so far, and haven't slipped once!

I simply cannot find what i want/need, and think womens footwear manufacturers assume that women do not need any sort of grip on their footwear whatsover, or if they have grips they are not water proof to be out in all weathers, i really do not understand the logic!!

Anyone know where i can get a reasonable pair at reasonable price from, done all accy places, someone else having same issue said winfields were rubbish.............any suggestions
My other half got a brilliant pair of boots with a great tread on them, and I would think, knowing her, she won't have paid an arm and a leg, but they are certainly fit for purpose

Re: Womens Boots

I know what ya mean with the 'grip' situation!, these days they seem to have plastic soles, Asda sell rubbish shoes IMO, got my son some school shoes from there, less than 8 weeks they where basically 'Knackered'!
So i wouldnt bother looking in Asda.
If ya want a good boot i suppose ya have to pay the price., if ya after a good grip boot best looking in hiking shops?
Ossy Mills sell shoes and boots, but they can be expensive.
I have a pair of boots, good grip too but they cost me about £50 which i got from ossy mills.
Wellies......alright but slippy on ice.
tried Amazon?
