I'm having chemotherapy and it's really affecting my hands and feet and I need to keep them super warm. I had to go out today in my snow boots,which kept my feet warm but were not a great look!

Can anyone please recommend something ankle length and stylish that is also properly warm?

A heads up to people. I have three pairs of Doc Marten Leonore Chelsea boots and love them. Today a new pair of boots arrived; this time Virginia. I wear a UK size 5/Europe 38. When I took the boots out I thought they'd sent the wrong size. But no, it says on the box and the boots that they are a size 5. I'd say sizing-wise they're around a 7, so no chance of making them fit. The quality of the boot didn't seem great either. I love my Docs but I've had my last pair; the manufacturing has definitely gone downhill.

I ordered a new pair of Doc Martens last week - they were ridiculously narrow and my foot got wedged tight around the ankles. I thought DH was going to have to cut them off at one point Shock needless to say, they went straight back again.

I've got 2 other pairs in a 7 but these were nothing like the same sizes.

@SkyFullofStars1975 > I found that with the Virginia boots. Despite them looking a couple of sizes too big I wanted to try them on. I didn't get as far as that because I couldn't get my foot past the ankle; very narrow and tight elastic. I didn't want to force it as I knew they were going back (didn't want the tag to break off in my hands). Now I've seen your post I'm really glad I left it!

@TwigTheWonderKid > I hope you've managed to find some boots that work for you.
