Some waterproof shoes for winter?

I'm in need of some new, warm, dry shoes. I've been wearing a pair of fabric Vivo Barefoots all summer, but they (a) are knackered and (b) get drenched every time I walk across our lawn or do the school run in the rain. Very tempted by some cheapo fake Uggs but open to othr suggestions ... I have wide feet and ideally want something easy to get on and off (preferably no laces) as I generally leave the house in a rush and can struggle to reach my feet Blush (hip dysplasia).

Merrel Oslo - very warm and dry

They are lovely but ouching a bit at the pricetag :(

£75 in some sizes here

Ohhhhhhhhhhh just as I'd decided on the £25 fake Uggs from Sainsbury's ...

I just got these and they seem really warm and comfy so far.

I love the Merrells, just not sure I can justify the price, even at the bargainous £75. Every time I think I'll just go for it I think I'd be really annoyed if DH spent £75 on something frivolous.

What's the width like on the LE ones?

The LE ones are narrow but not tooooo narrow.

Moredofbumsnet · 22/10/2012 10:36

Ooooh I just realised you have wide feet Dita so maybe you should give them a miss.

DitaVonCheese · 22/10/2012 10:43

Yes :( Though I might order some to try anyway ... Do you have black or "khaki" (it looks grey)? I like the khaki but it looks impractical ...

I have black as I didn't like the way the khaki has black trim.There's a 20% off code at LE at the moment but I can't remember where I saw it.

Thanks - have also gone for black as I thought I might fret about mud otherwise, though I quite liked the black trim on the khaki (though don't like like the white trim on the black!). Also have a couple of other pairs of summer shoes coming Blush all from the sale so thought a discount code probably wouldn't work, though did find one for free postage :)
