During the Nordstrom sale you recommended Blondo waterproof ankle boots. Who knew suede could be waterproof? Bought them for an upcoming trip to U.K. & Ireland. Love them! Comfortable and great looking. I highly recommend them.
I love these
Rockport Women’s Tristina Gore Boot
Got mine on Amazon.
I’ll check them out, thanks!
I love those Timberland ones – they look warm, practical and cute which is a rare combination. I think as well as being warm and waterproof, it’s so important to find boots with really good grip. I’ve found it really hard to get these in the UK but on mainland Europe they make their shoes with much more practical soles. I’ve spent far too many weekends in snowy destinations slipping & sliding on icy cobblestones. It’s just not worth it!
That’s true. In Italy and Spain it seemed as if the shoes were made for cobblestones. Cotswold and other outdoor shops to carry similar styles including the Teva and North Face. Stop by next time you see one 🙂
