I just bought some yummy cheap boots from an embarassing shop

[IamHelenaJustina]

Here They are gorgeous and very, very comfy. For £35!!!!!

But the shop is so grim and orthotic. What am I going to say when people ask me about them?

I love these !

How is the fit around the ankle/leg OP? would they be good for a slightly overweight bigger ankle?

I'm overweight myself Solo - I reckon you'd be ok.

Just had a look around the website. They do some shoes and boot brands that I used to get from Stead and Stimpson before they closed. I have quiet a few from them and they are so very comfy.

I can't wait for Monday so I can wear them for work

:) Thank you!

Some of the Boots are lovely; I'm always on the lookout for a bit of comfort where footwear is concerned.

But they need to wave a fashion wand over the Shoes before I'll be tempted.

NHS Podiatrist (and I don't think I'd like to work in a place called Shuropody , I spend most of my time inwardly grimacing when people say Chir-opodist or Shir-opodist
It's pronounced Kir opodist - it's Greek.
It's like Chemist not Cherry

Rant over

Why be embarressed?
If you went to a Dental Health clinic and bought yourself a new electric toothbrush would you be embarressed at looking after yourself?
No

So why should your poor feet not get the same consideration?

When I'm Queen I'll pass a law that everyone has to wear glass shoes for a week, just so you can see how your poor feet get squished

There's one of these within a garden centre near us, surprisingly nice stuff. I'd be embarrassed to buy from them though, think it's my age!

Shame those bikers are synthetic. I thought leather was better for one's trotters?

I have bought crackin winter boots here a few urs in a row now. They are comfy, I think some styles are trendy/funky and often lined, so mega warm! Really reasonable too and the sale is a proper sale. I love that not all my friends are wearing the same bloody shoes as me.

I need to go and report on the 'what have you bought today' fred, that thanks to style and beauty I just brought me some boots! Nice find OP. Did they take long to come?

I bought mine in the shop and it was instant

Regarding the whole synthetic thing- I prefer leather but for £25 does it matter? Nice boots are nice boots

I checked these out in the local garden centre today. I didn't have time to try them on but the linings and insoles feel very comfortable and they look pretty good for the price.

I've walked past their shop on Deansgate many times and while I've never gone in, I have noticed that the stuff I see in the window is pretty stylish and surprisingly non-orthopaedic looking.

I buy my psi slippers from there. They are brilliant, but last year they couldn't get any in my size, 8

OP, are they true to size?

Size - yes I would say so. I am a 5.5-6 and bought a 6.

Ankles - I don't know. The suede is quite soft so might sort of fold in on you but I don't really know. I would say there is the potential for gape yes.

I love them but what will you do when it rains?

Thanks OP, I just bought them in brown

I like the walking boots ones with the red on them- is that mad????

Ooh very nice. Will add them to my list of places to check out, thanks OP!

I bought a pair of boots from there last week. Half price at £25 and they are so comfy and warm they have barely been off my feet!

My friend got a pair the same in a different colour as well....
