Patricia W Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Yes, I know it's a bit like locking the stable door at the moment... but actually I really need a nice pair of BROWN waterproof snow boots that don't cost the earth for my son's wedding in Canada at the end of February. The ceremony is outside IN the SNOW! And they need to go with my new faux fur coat- hence brown. I found a pair I liked locally but they were only water resistant. And I'm bemused by all the ones on the web. So any recommendations? If I get them now I can road test them! Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I like those Clare.... Are they quite roomy in the "cankle" area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 I've got some wellie type boots - although not as pretty as those! So maybe I need another pair of those too. I like the Cotton Trader ones - I notice CT have a closing down sale of their concession at Yarnton Nurseries near me so I'll pop along and see if they have any there. The wedding WILL be pretty - if cold. There's apparently going to be a horse and sleigh so very romantic. The bride is Canadian and the deal is that the wedding iis n Canada then they will both be living in England. We're all going over at the beginning of the week with the wedding on the Friday. Hopefully no-one will break anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 They do Chelsea; I take a 2.5 or 3 but these start at a 4, so my dad got me those, they are a bit big, but then I usually wear them with thick walking socks inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I bet it will look magical in the snow... cold, but magical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I like those Clare.... Are they quite roomy in the "cankle" area? I have them too & as the proud owner of a cracking pair of cankles,I can confirm that they fit very well indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleTree Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 My Aunty bought me these for my birthday and Christmas http://www.merrell.co.uk/en-GB/Shop/Product.aspx?AltNavID=WAF-G-WNT&PID=15692&GST=W Not cheap though, we bought them in Blacks but they're not on their website. I've been wearing them almost constantly since getting them, although I got them for going to Latvia in February. They are really comfy and lovely and warm.

Patricia W Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 ooh - I like those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I have some of these http://www.jamesandjames.com/htmlfiles/shoefiles/merrell-shoes/mersptibhitim.htm and I'm wearing them today as the snow is due here in the next couple of hours. Very warm and snug and with "sticky" soles so you have a bit of grip too. I think they do make them in brown, but cream would work with a brown coat as well - works with mine! Think I'd probably prefer a wedding on a warm, sunny Caribbean island ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 oooh, I like those they look well snuggly I wanted some like clarets, but they have sold out online we have a cottontraders end of line clearance shop up here - when the snow goes ill have to have a look cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
