Winter boots <sobs>. Need help <sobs harder>

[RockyRogue1001]

Please 🙏

I just can't seem to find winter boots which I like and which aren't uncomfortable.

And I like winter boots <bottom lip quivers>

Got a pair of chealseas, which I have to rip off. I got some underlay thing which was recommended, which helps a bit, but they still hurt.

Got some high heeled dms, which I love. They cripple me.

For the love off all things holy.... I just want boots that don't hurt to wear or walk in around the office.
Size 7
Long legs (because short friends say they won't wear ankle boots because it shortens them. Not a problem for me. Love an ankle boot)

I just want comfortable! Black.

Is that a big ask?
P.s. round toe! It seems I am a bit picky after all

Pavers

I sometimes buy a size up and use a thick sheepskin inner sole

Birkenstocks!

My DM Chelsea’s with a zip at the back have done me well for seven years now. So comfy and go with everything.

Just got a pair from fly London and they are perfect

OP I have the same problem. I have a pair of old lace up Clarks ankle boots I love, but can't find anything now that is comfortable. DMs cripple me too, although I love the way they look. Pavers have nothing decent in this year that are comfy IMO.

Buy a half size up of boots you love but arent comfy, take out the boots inner sole and replace with a Vionic inner sole

job done

Blundstone with a support insole.

Another vote for trying a foam insole, I get them from Amazon.

ECCO are awesome.

Maybe not quite what you are after, but I had a pair of winter Converse. Sheepskin inside and black leather outside. They were so beautiful and warm and comfortable. They were also waterproof and stood up against the snow and slush during winters in Stockholm. I would treat the leather every year before winter too, just too keep them in good condition.

They had white laces, but if I wanted a slightly smarter look for a meeting etc, I would change to black laces. Stockholm workplace was quite casual though, so understand Converse might not work for everyone, but could be worth an exploring.

Rieker. They do some similar to classic DMs but are comfy!

Definitely Pavers. Really nice and rounded. Soft leather and a bit clumpy. Lasted really well and just bought more 2 pairs...!

Sketchers? So comfy but not sure you would think them stylish.

Have you got an agricultural a store nearby? My favourite boots (that other people comment) are riding ankle boots.

Try geox, panama jack, Skechers, fitflop.

Bullboxer do great boots.

@RockyRogue1001 you should try going to a countrywear shop!! leather, round toes, good sole with grip, comfy as hell!

Can you describe what exactly is hurting you?

I third Pavers. My feet are utterly wrecked ((bunions living their best life) and I can only wear boots from Pavers.

Pavers for me too. Just go in and try on loads. I find most are real well padded and comfortable.

OP, I am in the exact same position. I had a Pavers pair for a long time but sadly nothing this year is comfortable. Have gone back to Clarks but have the same is true there. I've sent so many pairs of boots back this month! Not sure if it's my feet or the manufacturers, but everything seems narrower around the toe box this year, even if I buy wide/size up. For those recommending an agricultural shop(@AllHisCaterpillarFriends @allthemiddlechildrenoftheworld ), do you have any links to an online source? I'm in London!

Bareback boots are incredibly comfortable and have a good return policy.

I was seriously tempted by the ones in the Clarks outlet the other day.

Flat DMs? I've got a Winter pair and they're great. Was thinking of trying Skechers as I find their trainers good. I've also got UGGs but they're only for dry weather really.
