So if UGG type boots are uncool what do you wear in the cold/snow?

[bodiddly]

I used to have a pair of really toasty warm UGG type boots from Just Sheepskin company that I wore in the snow etc as I have long walks to work and school run etc but they seem to have disappeared! I want to buy something to replace them that has a decent sole so I won't end up flat on my face but that are really warm and don't look too bad for work/en route. Any ideas?

upahill how can you run through the icey bits! I'd break a leg ... and have a heart attack .. I am not a runner!

You see I'm not really bothered about being stylish. Being warm and dry is top of my list, followed by comfy, followed by practical and not too costly since I have two young children a dog and cat constantly crawling all over me. Stylish comes way down the list.

My boots are probably both uncool and ugly, but they do all of the above. I don't like ugg boots because they don't keep my feet dry.

I don't drive and walk everywhere. Come rain or hail, plus they are good for walking the dog in.

mrs mat

there is a make up thread i need you on

those aren't too bad Shinyandnew ... they look warm and practical! Hmmmm

Yes I have the Rocket Dog ones, mine are a lovely plum colour which they don't seem to have anymore. Room for jeans unless you have really wide calves. Really warm.

Boddidly.. The trick is to park near the door!! I haven't got so far to run then

Sorry sorry sorry! That was totally knee jerk. I am a twat. I didn't think.

I will join you on that make up thread now.

The Sunday Times Style magazine said these were the new uggs - warm and toasty and 'on trend'

sputnik ... do they come up big or small .. there seem to be fairly contradictory reviews on size! I am probably a 4.5 so I was going to go for a 5 unless they come up big!

Reeealllly? I do hope so as I know someone who can get me those boots cheaper.

If they go over my fat calves that is.

True to size for me (6)

I wear apres ski boots in snow and ice. Grips on the soles are really good so less thrills and spills all round. prob not the most fashionable but would would not look too stylish going arse over tit either.

FatFace has got some lovely boots in for the winter season. Was very tempted the other day but 7 months pregnant so waiting until feet have shrunk back to a size 6... Not techie enough to do a website link though sorry

I've got the DM ones that Mario linked to further up. I bought them specifically for when I go to Finland for work, and they are fab - warm, waterproof, and very stable. And if they are OK in -13'C, then they are OK in the UK

Amazon has the Cat boots for £49.99 I just ordered some!

I tried those DMs on they're lovely, but my feet were the wrong shape for them dammit

I am wearing fake crocs as I can't afford new shoes Luckily I don't have to leave the house much.

Lucky winner and spare change thank you thank you! I have just treated myself to the half price CATs too. Perfect for the nursery schlep. Fingers crossed they fit

I have the Cat boots and they are fantastic! Only paid about £65 so don't feel too upset about the new low price. They are wide fitting.

Are the CAT boots narrow in the calf area? I suspect they wont fit me

Can someone who has them measure them for me?

LOVE these but they are a bit pricey.

I've got the Fitflop boots, but I'm afraid this weather it's wellies for me!

i cant see how the other wise delicious rocket dog boots are good in snow

It was hiking boots this morning in the snow.

I do like Duo boots and they have the advantage of being available in different calf widths.

Just wish they had one with a furry lining.
