Boots for a mum that aren't mum boots but not too high fashion either

[crapcrapcrapcrap]

I usually wear walking shoes to work because they're waterproof, I can wash the mud off and they don't look horribly scruffy. But I'd rather be a bit smarter. The obvious choice is mum boots in a jodhpur style but that's clearly a no. Any suggestions? I'm a wide footed size 6.

I've got these- they are completely waterproof and very comfy. I have wide calves too.

you should get these

[ElizabethHoover]

i actually laughed out loud at that SO CUTE

[CaulkheadUpNorth]

I do, they are in the garden. My calves are fine. Are we not meant to put baby cows in boots now?

[BikeRunSki]

I have massive 43 cm calves, and those DMs I linked to fit fine and are nice and wide footed too.

[ElizabethHoover]

OMG

She has huge CALFS - get busy OP!

[BikeRunSki]

I have (and have had) a few pairs if these n different colours.

[BelindaAllWorkedOut]

What about these? I saw these today and thought they looked good. www.gap.co.uk/browse/product.do?cid=1017752&vid=1&pid=000989403000

[CaulkheadUpNorth]

I have huge calfs and some fly are fine for me. They have a good sole and I've never had any problems with them.

[ElizabethHoover]

lol

[crapcrapcrapcrap]

Ankle best. I've got huge calves (wouldn't be a problem if only I had prosthetic legs ) so long boots are just trouble.

I'll check out Fly :)

[GristletoeAndWhine]

Are we talking ankle or high?
What are mum boots? (do I have several pairs and didn't know it)

[ElizabethHoover]

think i would keep old snow boots in the car

keep others in the surgery for when you get there

!! @ ElizabethHoover

[crapcrapcrapcrap]

Yeah I wear wellies on farm but there's never a dry bit to change shoes, so I don't like silly little shoes because they just get wet and wrecked. Also it's winter and icy and musddy everywhere so heels are not handy.

Doc martens? I love mine

[CaulkheadUpNorth]

Have you looked at fly London ones? I walk miles in mine each day and they are great. Or doc martens?

I'll make sure to emphasise that all my limbs are intact next time I try S&B as well
