and it disappeared... I probably forgot to press "create thread" before leaving...
Anyway... now that the weather is getting a bit chillier, I'm looking at winter footwear.
My beloved and re-soled winter boots are not fully weatherproof at the seams. (ok for dry days, but not ok for rainy/snowy days)
I usually get shoes at Clarks in the UK (during a sale), as Clarks in Switzerland is eye-wateringly expensive.
Didn't get a chance to get them the last time I was in the UK.
I have at a good month, max two months of wearing shoes that I do have, but I need a new pair of boots.
So, my options are to find out what's available here, maybe even change brands !!!
Or plan a weekend in London...
Decisions, decisions...
What is your winter/cold weather footwear of choice?

as Clarks in Switzerland is eye-wateringly expensive. From my experience, most things in Switzerland were eye-wateringly expensive! |

Thanks, Sophie. And yes, Baz. I need to . My feet are really demanding and they will bleed if the shoe is not up to my feet’s standards… they won’t stop bleeding until I fit them into a pair to their liking
