I look a bit like Nessa
Seriously, I need something that will not fall off my feet after 5 weeks' wear.
I bought a £90 pair of lovely brown leather boots last year, and they were SHREDDED in 5 weeks. I was cold and miserable and someone very kindly sent me a pair of lovely boots through the post.
This year, I'm buying something that will deal with rain, snow, dog walking and motorbikes.
