With the recent weather and having to walk in it im trying to get some decent boots with grip and leather, had bought a pair in shoe zone & had to return them cos of a manufacturing fault, got a credit note but no luck in finding a good pair these days! I simply cannot find what i want/need, and think womens footwear manufacturers assume that women do not need any sort of grip on their footwear whatsover, or if they have grips they are not water proof to be out in all weathers, i really do not understand the logic!!

Anyone know where i can get a reasonable pair at reasonable price from, done all accy places, someone else having same issue said winfields were rubbish.............any suggestions:confused::confused::confused:
 
For the bad weather I chose a pair of wellies.......OK, they are not a fashion statement(althought they are a pretty pink shade with roses on them)....the grips on the soles are excellent. Exactly what is required for snow and ice. Much better than a pot arm(or leg......worse still, at my age a fractured hip).

I have been checking out leather boots in all kinds of shops, but they are for fashion rather than for practicality.......NBG(no blooming good)
Choose wellies and some thick socks......be safe on your feet, and toasty warm.
 
I bought wellies last year & gave em to my daughter, they didnt fit my leg properly too tight for tucking my pants and socks dont stay up in them that they rubbed my skin making it sore to wear them - even wellies arn't made like they used to either, hence need ankle boots :(:(
 
My wellies have a strap on the side to either loosen them or tighten them up....not the bog standard type, but were not expensive....6.99 from Aldi...and there were a few designs to choose from.
I bought some 'pink ribbon' wellies to support Breat Cancer Charity and they were the most uncomfortable wellies I have ever had......they were handed on to the charity shop.
 
Have you tried ASDA? I got some flat work boots from there and they have a good grip on them. I think they were £12.50 :)
 
Have a look at Wynsors Mel, although i live close to it i hardly go in, failing that buy some timberland boots or some Rockports, or as Retlaw said....some Docs

Haven't looked there so will try them, yes it's those kind of things I'm looking for but a bit cheaper lol
 
What about proper walking boots? You can always change when you get to work.
 
Plenty on line ... but is a pain if they don't fit .. like these for instance:

Snow Boots | Mirror Reader Offers

Did get a great pair from Next about 18 months ago .. fur lined and waterproof with good grips, only £20 ... but, dang, don't seem to have them now ... sorry.

Thats the kind im looking for something like the good old docs or kickers but can't afford their prices as the gov are squeezing atm :(

Docs are not very lady like though unless you are going for the cross dressing butch lesbian look. Older ones were always lacking in insulation so needed lots of socks to keep your feet warm but not worn any for ages.

We got Rhonda some really nice boots just before Christmas, supposed to go under the tree but the weather meant they were needed straight away. They were from Winfields.

Heth is right ... some of the Supermarket's footwear is extremely good value.

Try New Look too .. they get good reports on their shoes.

I can't wear Asda shoes, find they are really rubbish and last no time at all. I am hard on footwear though and usually have to buy decent quality shoes. I find if I pay twice as much they last a lot longer than twice as long and are more comfortable.
 
New look had nowt really most places do fashion shoes/boots and ugg type boot crap which are not practical.
