Waterproof shoes-are there any funky ones out there?

[FillydoraTonks]

Ok please don't suggest waterproofing them with scotch guard or anything, I do need hardcore, gore tex stuff

sneaker style fine

anything in Not Brown and Not Black also good.

Thoughts?

[FillydoraTonks]

how strange that i missed you and your bag

i did return to the tent several times

[JackieNo]

Us too - that's what I had in my shopping list bag.

[FillydoraTonks]

so did we re saturday, was on alert for MNetters though

and we just queued up outside the school food tent and got 8 6 packs of smoothies, like sensible people

[newlifenewname]

Oh you were there! Did you do the smoothie thing where the children had to cycle to make the blender work? I was there for ages drinking smoothies they were so delicious.

And the bread baking, the Quince stall....crepes, Indian food...yummmmy

[JackieNo]

DD made pasta (took ages) and both DD and DS 'made' bread.

[JackieNo]

Definitely no cycling shorts - I was carrying my Mile for Maude shopping list bag, so if you'd seen me, there wouldn't have been any doubt. We went on the Saturday. (sorry for hijack, FillydoraTonks)

[FillydoraTonks]

i was there too

in dm sandals iirc

was fab

i have a lot of smoothies

[newlifenewname]

Yes Jackieno! That sounds funny!

Were you wearing cycling shorts perchance, only a mumsnetter type mum came and talked to me and we admired her son's Ben 10 watch.

[JackieNo]

Newlifenewname - was that the one in Abingdon? We went there - was fab.

[newlifenewname]

Oh we stuffed our faces! Did you make it?
They even had eglus to ogle in the animal bit.

I now want a pineapple slicer/peeler/juicer thing, desperately.

UGGS?

or hunter welllies?

[FillydoraTonks]

nooo am being lured down path of non-waterproof shoes that don't make me look like an ar$e

ps nlnn-how was food festival?

[JackieNo]

Or these, but they're mostly in brown and black - no funky colours.

[JackieNo]

Still quite functional but lots of colours. And 'weatherproof' rather than 'waterproof'.

[newlifenewname]

shoes not boots

[MrsBadger]

IIRc they come in white, red and duck-egg blue as well...

[FillydoraTonks]

i quite like those, in a masochistic sort of way...

[FillydoraTonks]

I grew up on hawkeshead stuff. After ClothKits went out of business...

[bran]

If Hawkshead makes you want to cry, I suppose a pair of these is going to bring on a nervous breakdown then.

[bran]

I'll admit that Hawkshead lean more towards the functional than the funky.

[FillydoraTonks]

oh bran, thanks but they hawkeshead ones make me want to cry.

am inclining towards mrsb's, might nip down to clarks or else cheapy retail outlet tommorrow

would prefer in another colour though, black not good for me

[MrsBadger]

rofl at the 'canadian boots'
