Not-ugly footwear for this crappy weather

8 replies

I am so sick of this rain! Not least because all my nice shoes are unwearable in it and my current walking boots and Wellies options are so ugly. I really need some pretty/glam/sexy footwear. They don't have to be all of the above - they just need to make me feel not quite so depressed about the grimness of endless precipitation. Anyone have any suggestions?

Well Timberland ones aren't exactly 'glam', but they are the right end of the sensible shoes spectrum IYKWIM?

I've had a pair of Timberlands bought five years ago, initially only for a ski-trip, and lived in in the vile weather back here (so most of the past five years then...) ever since. They don't watermark or give you damp feet either which is a bonus for leather.

Oops, would help if I gave you the link Blush

Try the Dr Martens website here - it's not all the traditional lace-up bovver boots any more.

For example, check out this minxy affair

Fish - good Lord, who knew! Also, is it wrong that I quite like some of the items on this page Grin

Mission accomplished! Thank you both for the help. A pair of pink wedge waterproof suede Mandy DMs are on their way! I would post a link but I don't know how. Anyway, they're funky. And a happy reminder of my "alternative" black clad youth when I lived in DMs. (not that I would have been seen dead in pink wedge heels, mind!)

Glad to have been of help corrie!

moonlight, yes indeedy - if I could wear heels (which I definitely can't, to my chagrin), I would want to try some of those!
