I'm so hard on my shoes Sad I kill them all! I need some boots...strong boots...everyday boots. I like Blowfish style boots...but they're not that strong are they?

I want them to wear with jeans and with leggings...ankle or mid calf....and they must be STRONG! Grin I'd like to spend no more than 100 quid or so though. I know its coming into Spring now but it's still wet all the time.

You might like to have a browse through the Doc Marten sale page. They're all STRONG and there's more than skinhead style.

Thanks Scaevola but I just don't like them Sad I did look...but I'm 40 and as I wore them at 17 it just feels wrong.

Look on theOutnet.com - I've had my eye on some Frye boots for a while and people on here have rated them highly... This weekend theyve had an extra 30% off some sale items and mine were included ... £250 boots for £87.50 ... Happy days!

Schuh have some nice ones. Heard good stuff about Aldo boots too.

AwfulMaureen · 26/01/2014 23:07

Oh thanks! Just looking now then.

I'm with Scaveola DMs are fab! I have the red new auth wedge boots and I love them. Sorry can't do links. I used to wear the classic DM boots in my teens and twenties - I'm very nearly 40 now......Grin

betty well I did just find a pair I liked! these which I think are pretty basic, not too DM-like in a teen way and very tough looking! I'm ordering them!

I got these the other day and they are fab and super comfortable (like wearing slippers). they seem, erm, strong-ish, but i'm not sure they' satisfy you! www.office.co.uk/view/product/office_catalog/2,10/1438703730

Sorry, no idea why it keeps inserting a comma into my link!

They're the Kika boot in black.

Dr Marten Authentic Wedge not work booty at all. I have red, brown and a similar style in black. The oldest pairs are on their 8th winter, the younger ones their 4th. I wear them all the time, with everything.

Oh now I did admire those Bike but they're just a bit too long...nice shape and all that...but I wanted something that's lower on my leg for certain jeans.

My Frye cowboy boots have lasted and lasted - they are over 10 years old - worn to death and still don't need re soling yet.

BettyMacdonald · 27/01/2014 06:33

Damn you Awful! I've not seen those ones before and they're bloody lovely! I want them too Grin
