Is this impossible? My googling isn’t bringing anything up. I need to to look smart (trousers/dress/skirt and jacket) but have quite a bit of outside walking to do (on tarmac) and it is very cold where I work. Also not good at walking / balancing in heels. Any ideas….!

Does it have to be sheepskin?

have you looked at Ugg? They do “normal” boots not like the classic Ugg style and you can get sheepskin in soles.

I buy the insoles from boots and throw them in my riding boots for winter.

It doesn’t have to be sheepskin - but I’ve never found anything else as warm!

Yes I had some beautiful black sheepskin lined Sam Edelman boots. Kind of like short cowboy style ankle boots. Understated but so comfy and smart. A while ago though but they may come up on eBay etc?

Emem - the Ellin on that link is just the thing - but all sold out 😭. A starting point though! Thank you!

You can get sheepskin insoles and put them in whatever boots you like. Maybe with cashmere socks?

I started a new job as a receptionist in a secondary school. I have never worked in any other customer service roles and I am not given any training in the new job. Its been only two days and I am already exhausted with calls. Can anyone give me a general idea of question and answers I am getting from parents and other people starting from absence informing calls to complain calls. Is it really a hard job?

@Fieldfly if you search Emu Ellin boots they have them elsewhere and may have your size. They're lovely! I'm tempted too...

The Aquatalia range from Russell and Bromley is great - thermal lined and waterproof (even the suede) but look like normal office appropriate boots.

Speedweed, those are beautiful boots but I’d need a pay rise. I did some more googling and found a pair of the Elins reduced to £50! Hope they arrive!
