These are mine. I would prefer leather but I have suede. Also my go to pair for this time of year with a furry inside and a good sole.
Did you clean yours for the photo shoot? Very smart.
Love your questions.

Hey love your boots. I bough a pair of
Gronell Walking similar to these and similar to the Gronell Savana Evo they lasted me years only just thrown them away. Always cleaned them after each wearing and treated them with dubbin. Also a must are good quality woollen socks. I just bought 3 pairs of socks.-
Daisyroots 7th February 2021 at 3:05 pm
I bought them 1/2 a size bigger to allow for super thick socks. It worked a treat.

Great defiantly need a good warm socks or a log fire and a hot toddy?

Love your boots. Oh just look at the lovely floral lining. I have boot envy now lol
-
Daisyroots 7th February 2021 at 5:04 pm
The envy is mutual…….just seen your row of boots.
Life should be all about boots and flipflops 😂😉 -
Josie The Black Country Wench 7th February 2021 at 5:28 pm
Don’t even get me started on flip flops. And those are just my everyday boots, you should see the silver glitter ones and the floral fabric ones.
-
Daisyroots 7th February 2021 at 5:36 pm
😂 oh we so need to do a shoe cupboard reveal!
I covert a pair of flowery cowboy boots but I know I’d probably just stroke them lovingly and never be brave enough to wear them 🤣 -
Josie The Black Country Wench 7th February 2021 at 5:42 pm
The silver glitter ones I coveted in M&S some years ago. Totally impractical. Then they went on sale and I got them for £9.00 so now if I ever go anywhere special I wear the impractical boots. Makes people smile when they see my feet.
-
Daisyroots 7th February 2021 at 5:47 pm
A heart desire met, a bargain and other’s happiness…….what more could a girl want 😊
Sounds like a perfect pair of boots. -
Josie The Black Country Wench 7th February 2021 at 5:52 pm
Boots are always perfect in my life even if I can’t walk very far in them. I have what I call restaurant boots – from the car to the restaurant and sit down ahh

Love Carterbar shoes. What a great name. I have several pairs.

Josie The Black Country Wench 15th February 2021 at 5:31 pm
I just can’t compete with that. That’s totally amazing. I do have quite a large collection of vintage clothing though from the 1920’s to present day and yes I wear most of it. The hats are to die for.

From one extreme to the other. Salomons for walking and my “Beautiful, I will cry when they die” Joseph Seibels for tidy.

Not as frequently as I should but yes I do try to, very lucky to have great – if muddy, walking from the front door…..

I need to get a decent pair of walking boots. Mine are fine for winter but don’t need fur lined in warmer weather.
-
EnglishgirlinWales 7th February 2021 at 2:38 pm
I had a foot injury which had me in an air boot for 4 months _ hardly ideal in a 3 story B&B eh haha – I was in need of an alternative to support my foot and after a great consult at the local branch of Cotswold outdoors I found these Salomons, They are just fantastic and I would certainly buy again, I wear their GTX trainers for running up and down the stairs here too, my only issue is the colours can be a bit garish. Whatever you end up with it’s worth getting good advice from a shop that sells them all the time as there are so many variables.
-
Anonymous User (no longer active) 7th February 2021 at 3:03 pm
Thanks for the advice. I definitely need to actually talk to someone. Our shops haven’t been open since November and it could be a while yet. Still no rush. 🙂
-
Josie The Black Country Wench 7th February 2021 at 4:59 pm
I would recommend Salomons too. The most comfortable walking boots I have ever had.
-

Ah sand. That’s were I am going once I am allowed out and the travel restriction is lifted. Llansteffan beach so near and yet so far at the moment.

They are made by ‘Fly, London’

Josie The Black Country Wench 7th February 2021 at 4:51 pm
The left and middle are my walking boots. The right ones are my daisy roots. They are resting at the moment but have seen much action over the years. They were all part of my Edwardian working class women costume at the museum I worked at. Now they are my go to everyday boots. Can’t wait till my HA rehab is complete and I can go out and wear them again.

These are my ‘walk the dog twice a day in rain, snow, muck and puddles’ boots. I won’t show you my wellies 🙄
-
Josie The Black Country Wench 7th February 2021 at 5:34 pm
My wellies are in a sorry state, the top is coming away at the ankles. Need to get a new pair. Going to plant flowers in them in the spring, give them a second lease of life.
-
VFP 7th February 2021 at 5:40 pm
Hmm, flowers in old wellies… Please post a photo once you have done that, I would be interested to see what you did.
My wellies are in an OK state, just covered in mud! There will be a big boot/welly clean if it ever stops raining around here!
-
Josie The Black Country Wench 7th February 2021 at 5:48 pm
Will try to do that when the weather improves. My hubby will drill holes in the bottoms for drainage. I will put a pair either side of the backdoor. Saw something similar in a magazine once it looked great with trailling Lobelia.

Bit of snow there viv. They look comfy
-

They’re ‘well-worn’ and yes, we had snow last night and today. The best thing about these boots is they’re warm – it’s freezing outside! 🥶

Hi everyone, I’m new on here, this is my wellies and every day boots, waiting patiently at the door waiting to go out, hiking boots are in the car. Hope we don’t have any snow because I can’t go out.
-
Daisyroots 7th February 2021 at 5:43 pm
My wellies sprung a leak and I was bereft 😔. I haven’t been able to justify buying a new pair.
-
Josie The Black Country Wench 7th February 2021 at 5:49 pm
Go on get a new pair when you can. I am going to. Some crazy fun ones for tramping about in the garden.
-
Daisyroots 7th February 2021 at 7:03 pm
Or I could just wear them shopping 🤔😳🤣
-
Anonymous User (no longer active) 7th February 2021 at 6:20 pm
Is a leak not a justifiable excuse. What is a wellie if it isn’t to keep you dry. I bought a pair in January. They are in the garage and still virginal.
-
Daisyroots 7th February 2021 at 7:04 pm
In the garage!!! They’ll get lonely! 😂

All mine are walking boots/shoes. I have such wide feet I can’t wear any other except children’s Clarks shoes and unisex footwear (including DR Martens) as my feet are too wide.
-
maebryantot 29th December 2021 at 9:31 am
Wow! Cool boots ! I like comfortable shoes. I used to try to buy different models of shoes, but I have flat feet and such shoes do not fit me. So I switched to sports shoes with orthopedic insole. Sneakers are comfortable for me in any season and they fit any of my trousers.It is very important to me that the shoes follow the curves of my foot. For me, the most comfortable shoes were air jordans at https://www.forstepstyle.com/collections/jordans/air-jordan-1/ . I wear them everyday and my feet don’t get tired as they used to get tired of shoes.
